The principle of operation of the convector is simple. It is somewhat similar to the principle of operation of an oil heater. The electric element heats the liquid inside the convector, the heat from the liquid is transmitted by the convector body, and then sprayed using a fan in the room. It is at the expense of the fan that the rapid heating of the room is ensured. Well, then physics, air circulation occurs due to the difference in temperature (the density of the cold and hot air flow). Cold air, heats up and rises up, the air coaring at the top (such a cycle) is returning to its place). The principle of installation of an electric convector also comes from this – the lower it is installed, the more efficiently its work. There are both floor and wall -mounted electric convectors.
Electric convectors are used, both in apartments and any other rooms. They can be used not only as an additional heating of the premises, but also using electric convectors, you can assemble a full -fledged electric heating that has no boiler equipment (electric shock and pipeline system). All that is needed for this is serviceable, collected in compliance with all safety standards, electrical wiring. They do not require any special systems and communications. Connected to hidden wiring using a socket and do not require grounding. The design of electric convectors allows them to work 24 hours a day. They are not afraid of moisture, and the presence of a thermostat will reduce electricity consumption by almost double.
Advantages of electric convectors
The convector has a relatively low body heating temperature (60 ° C), this is why minimal burning of oxygen occurs. Thermostat allows you to save electricity. Fire safety, an electric convector does not have open heating elements. With its relatively not large sizes, its efficiency is very high (99%). Allows you to heat the room very quickly. The convector has the ability to program, you can set a schedule for its work (when leaving, it can be programmed to turn on it an hour or two before your return).
The difference between an electric convector and an oil radiator.
Describe the advantages of an electric convector in front of an oil radiator, you can long and tedious. I will dwell only on the main. The convector consumes electricity 20-25% less than an oil radiator. The convector is much more compact, easier and has smaller dimensions, which allows you to almost noticeably hide it under the windowsill. Convector safety, unlike an oil radiator is much higher. Oil radiators cannot be left unattended. They, unlike an electric convector, are not even equipped with an elementary overheating sensor. The convector is able to provide a more stable temperature of the room, which excludes temperature drops.
