Types of electric heaters
Convector heaters | go to category
Convector heaters heat the room under the influence of the flow and exchange of air masses. This flow can be forced (warm air can be blown out) or natural – gravitational. Convector heaters can be powered by electricity (resistance heaters) or hot water (central heating installation).
resistance heaters | go to category
Resistance (resistance) heaters are heated by the heat generated on the resistor under the influence of current flow. This brings many advantages – Ease of transport, power regulation (usually stepwise) and quiet operation enable convenient use of such heaters indoors. Resistance heaters are most often also equipped with an automatic shutdown system in the event of overheating.
Oil radiators | go to category
Oil radiators heat the room by heating the oil inside the steel casing with a heater or electric heaters. The liquid condenses the heat, then, thanks to the ribbed construction of the walls, it is evenly distributed, and they give the heat back to the room. Thanks to this, the ratio of heat transfer and exchange to size is high. Oil radiators take a relatively long time to heat up but cool down slowly due to the properties of the oil.
heating cables | go to category
Heating cables also called heating cables are most often used for electric floor heating, however, they are more and more often used to heat gutters, roofs (automatic snow removal), stairs, driveways ;w etc.
The undoubted advantage of this type of installation is that it can be turned on at any time, is an independent device (not included in the central heating installation), is resistant< /strong> to crash due to freezing. The benefits of heating made in this technology include uniform temperature distribution in the room, heat transfer mainly by radiation, which the senses perceive as more pleasant in time to the movement of air resulting from the difference in temperature - convection.
Remember that in order to achieve the assumed power per 1m of 2 heating surface, the cables should be laid in the following proportions: the lower the unit power of the cable, the smaller the distance between the cables ( i.e. wires with lower power must be longer).
