Generated explanation

The illustration shows a cast-iron baseboard radiator used in a hot-water heating system, with an exposed end section revealing its water passage and fins. A blue arrow identifies water flow through the radiator. Cool room air enters beneath the unit, passes over the heated surfaces, and exits through openings along the top as warm air. The diagram illustrates normal heat distribution by convection; no defects are depicted.
