radiator output?

looking to fit a vertical rad in kitchen, have seen one but am confused by output figures.


Rad is double, 1600x354x72 stated output, BTU 4514, Watts 1323


Then separate specs say output at Delta T50 is 3216, Watts 943.


So I'm confused! BTU room calculator came up with 3559 BTU, 1043 Watt required for my room size.


So will this rad be 'powerful' enough?


I currently have an antiquated double fin rad of 750h x450w (output unknown) that doesn't heat the room enough in winter.


Any help please?
