Ah, now it makes more sense. If it's sitting on the grille it's measuring air temp not rad temp. They need to be properly strapped to the radiator i...

Are they properly in contact with the metal? You could check them with iced water and boiling water or tuck them under the insulation of the flow fr...
At 27 (DT of 10 relative to room) your rad output is roughly 20% of the output at 50 (dt 30 relative to room), say 600W. The rads most of the time ar...
