An electric convector, like any other heating device, is required to create comfortable indoor conditions in the winter season. Central heating services in apartments often do not differ in stability, therefore such a device becomes an excellent alternative for heating not only in living rooms, but also in kiosks, at dachas, pavilions or garages. Temperature adjustment can be done automatically or manually.
The electric
convector has long become a competitor to
heating radiators, while the advantage is clearly in its favor. This device is installed in a convenient place, while it does not interfere with movement around the apartment, ideally fitting into the interior. This cannot be said of water or
electric radiators. Such devices are often designed to be installed in the center of the room, which interferes with movement, and also poses a considerable danger to all family members.
An electric convector consists of a metal casing, and heating elements are placed inside it. Their work is controlled by a mechanical or electronic thermostat. Teng itself consists of a conductor with high resistance, placed in a heat-resistant ceramic case. It is hermetically sealed in an aluminum or metal box, having an ergonomic shape of a radiator, equipped with outlet plates, wings or aerodynamic inserts. Due to this form, the useful area of the device increases significantly. Ten is able to work at a temperature of 600-1000 degrees Celsius. The electric convector does not dry out and does not burn indoor air.
The operation of the device is based on the physical law of heat transfer, known to all. There is always cold air below, and warm above. And in the convector happens the same way. Down come the cold
air masses that pass through the tena. During movement, the lower layers are heated, which become lighter, so they rise up. The air above cools down, becomes heavier, falls down. So when the convector is on, it happens all the time.
Considering the best electric convectors, you can understand that they are of two types: floor and wall. The former are usually narrow and oblong, not higher than 20 centimeters, and the height of the latter is 40-45 centimeters. The floor version has a higher efficiency, since it gives off heat around the entire perimeter of the case, but the electric wall convector, the price of which is from 2500 rubles, is much simpler in terms of installation.
You can consider its advantages. The device does not require supervision when the automatic mode is on. The device warms up the room very quickly, and during its operation the risk of drafts is reduced to zero. The temperature in the room is regulated by the built-in thermostat, due to which it is possible to achieve savings in electrical energy. Also, it does not allow the heating elements to overheat. The electric convector can be installed in a room with a high level of humidity, as it is equipped with moisture protection.
