At the moment, heating is increasingly carried out using electrical appliances. When compared with gas or fuel devices, the use of such devices will be the most rational solution. In this case, electric batteries are considered no less effective than the above. They have a large number of advantages. Such batteries can be installed in completely different rooms.
What is a product?
This device works when using radiation energy. The device does not heat the wall, but the objects that are around it. Due to this functionality, energy consumption can be reduced. Also, with the help of such devices it is quite realistic to maintain the optimum temperature and the microclimate in the room itself.
The size of an electric battery will depend entirely on its design. The standard is considered to be a length of up to 1.5 meters, a height of up to 80 cm, and a thickness of about 3 cm. However, the dimensions, as well as the types of devices themselves, can be completely different.
Device and principle of operation of the product
The apparatus in question consists of several parts. Its design includes a network cable, heating elements, temperature sensors, which determine not only the heating of the device itself, but also the environment, the control unit, and also a heat transfer device.
Any electric battery works as simple as possible. The heater is heated, all the heat is transferred to the coolant. It can be either water or antifreeze. So, the product becomes warmer. Overheating of the system is impossible, since the temperature is completely controlled by a special device. Often all such batteries have a ribbed surface. Due to this device is most effective, the radiation area becomes larger. They are made of aluminum. Inside, the metal is coated with a special film. Due to this, the coolant does not corrode the material.
Product Advantages
Among the advantages of electric batteries, the following factors should be noted. The design of such devices is as beautiful as possible, so they will not violate the general style of the room. Profitability allows a person to pay a little bills, while the power of the device can be adjusted. Pipes and other equipment do not need to be installed.
Mounting the battery itself is as simple as possible. Such a device is compact. It can be installed even in rooms where there is high humidity. However, for correct operation, this indicator should not exceed 80%. The device can be installed permanently, and it is also possible to purchase a mobile model. The battery is capable of providing a large heating area. This heat carrier is environmentally friendly. It allows you to compensate for heat loss through doors or windows. The device operates in safe mode, it is silent. The battery does not dry out the air. Also, the device works autonomously.
Varieties of devices
When purchasing electric batteries, the price of which is from 2 thousand rubles (compact and not very powerful options) and can reach the mark of 50 thousand, you need to pay attention to the type.
If the device is selected for an apartment or a summer residence, then this nuance should be taken into account. There is a classification by placement. These are floor, wall and ceiling.
- If we talk about the outdoor, this type will be effective for those people who need a mobile device. Such a heater is installed either in the country house or in other rooms where the residents do not live for a long time. The main advantage should be called mobility.
- If we talk about wall-mounted electric batteries, then they are used most often. These devices weigh a little. They look good, and they can also be used with standard heating systems. Often these devices are mounted on brackets. You need to purchase only two elements. These batteries last over 10 years. No liquid coolant is needed during installation. Such devices can be used both at night and in the daytime, since the devices are silent.
- Among ceiling electric batteries for economical heating, it is necessary to highlight special advantages. These devices are compact, they do not clutter up the space. Thus, neither the walls nor the floor will be occupied by heating elements. Often these devices are installed in stores, offices, and are also found in residential premises. The described batteries are mounted as simple as possible, they need to be screwed to the ceiling. Keep in mind that this device is quite economical among all other types. Heat rays heat the surface, not the air. To set a comfortable temperature, you can use the thermostat.
Additional classification
It should be said about the coolants. On this basis, these devices are also classified. There are liquid and non-liquid. With regards to the second type, the coolant is not used here. Due to this, the battery heats up very quickly. However, it also instantly cools down. Liquid ones work with antifreeze or distilled water. Often, such electric heating batteries are installed in those rooms where people do not live for a long time.
Depending on the size, two types of skirting devices are distinguished. They are narrow or in-floor.
If we talk about the material of manufacture, then there are options from ceramics, glass and metal.
Criterias of choice
To purchase an electric battery for economical heating, you need to pay attention to some characteristics. When buying, it is necessary to note the presence of grounding, is there a system that automatically protects against overheating, as well as voltage surges in the network, which thermostat is installed, is there a guarantee and license for the device, the area and volume of the room for which the device is designed, as well as how to insulate walls, ceilings and floors during installation.
