steam radiator
Hissing heat source
A steam radiator is a heating device that transfers heat from steam to a room.
Hot steam from a boiler flows through metal pipes and fins, which warm the surrounding air.
The classic cast-iron radiator with vertical columns, common in older buildings, is the iconic form: The old apartment had steam radiators that clanked and hissed all winter.
