Ceramic heating panels are a modern alternative to classic radiators. Heat is transferred by electricity or water, and the panel itself can be located behind the false ceiling, above the floor covering and on the walls.
Device
The device is quite complicated. The heater consists of several layers of innovative materials:
- The body of the device is made of polymer thermal storage coating, which can be heated up to 90 °C. Thus, the ceramic panel releases heat energy into the room by convection.
- Heating element.
- The display element is a kind of screen that redirects heat rays from the body to the room.
- The ceramic panel itself, which can heat up to 80 °C.
Working principle
Equipment of this type emits two types of energy: radiation and convection. Most importantly, the ceramic heater emits infraredrays that heat objects that surround the panel. This is the most efficient heating system option.
Varieties of panel heating
Under floor heating systems of various types are meant. They are united by a common feature - heating of the surfaces of the room and the absence of radiators. Depending on the type of coolant, electric and water heating are distinguished.
Water
Hot water radiant heating is a piping system with hot water under the wall or floor covering. More often such a system is used for floors than for walls.
Thanks to the warm floor, a person feels comfortable even in the coldest weather. It is pleasant to walk on the floor, its installation is carried out over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe room, so there are no warm and cold zones. At the same time, its temperature should not be more than 30 ºC, otherwise it will be inconvenient to walk on it.
The disadvantages of this system include installation difficulties - this procedure requires the dismantling of the old screed, laying pipelines and an insulating layer. In the event of any malfunctions, such a system is very difficult to repair, since it is necessary to remove the screed and flooring.
Electrical
Currently, panel radiant heating is gaining more and more popularity - this is an improved heat distribution scheme. If a classic radiator heats the air, the heat of which is transferred to surrounding objects, then infrared ceramic panels give off heat to objects that carry out its furthertransmission.
In most cases, the following heating devices are used:
- One of the most economical types of heating devices are STEP panels. Their body is made of a galvanized metal box, inside of which there is a reflective heat-insulating layer and a powerful heating element. Radiation from the device heats objects that are in the room. It can be used in premises of any purpose, as it is completely safe.
- Ceramic panels combining an infrared heater and a convector. The front panel is made of glass ceramic, with low power consumption, the heating element has a high heat transfer coefficient. On the back side there is a heat-storing coating that provides natural convection.
- EINT panels are infrared long-wave heaters. There are wall, floor and ceiling panels, they can be installed in private houses, apartments and offices. They are safe and reliable, do not pose a fire hazard or dry the air.
Advantages and features of ceramic panels
- These are compact devices.
- Ceramic panel heater does not dry the air.
- Efficiency of about 97-99%.
- Dust does not rise during operation.
- Easy to install.
- These devices do not raise dust.
- Do not burn oxygen.
- Dual heat dissipation principle.
- Savingsenergy carrier.
- Heated by gentle heat flow.
Savings
Ceramic panels can completely replace radiators, the heat from them will be more than enough for a comfortable feeling. Due to the high heat transfer coefficient, the saving of electrical energy of these heating devices can reach about 30%. The power consumption per 1 m2 reaches only 50 W, while the consumption of a conventional radiator is more than 100 W per 1 m2. The consumption is reduced due to the convection type of heating and the ceramic element. In addition, in order to avoid overpayments for excess heat, it is recommended to install thermostats on ceramic heating panels.
Safety
When choosing a heater, safety is an important factor, especially if there are small children in the house. Ceramic panels do not heat up, as they consist of environmentally friendly materials. Also, the design does not provide for the presence of protruding parts.
Panels are not afraid of penetration of dirt, dust and water. Therefore, these heaters can be installed in rooms with a swimming pool, bathrooms, etc. Ceramic heating panels are not afraid of overloads in the electrical network.
Sustainable
In this heater, the heating element does not come into contact with air, so oxygen is not burned and does not dry outair. This is especially true for those who suffer from respiratory diseases.
Ceramic panels (consumer reviews confirm this) do not emit harmful substances, do not emit unpleasant odors and are completely silent. Such equipment can be installed in children's rooms.
Durability
Durability is the parameter that every consumer would like. Ceramic heating panels are designed in such a way that the resource of consumption increases several times, since the equipment is insured against accidental damage, it is not afraid of external influences.
Design
Design of heating devices allows them to fit perfectly into any interior. Discreet colors, laconic lines make them universal, this equipment does not violate the aesthetics of the room.
Ceramic heating panels: expert reviews
As mentioned above, space heating occurs due to soft heat flows. Doctors say that this is the ideal state in which the human body feels comfortable.
Durability, reliability, moisture resistance, explosion safety and fire safety make it possible to use these heaters in office and residential premises for any purpose as auxiliary or main heating (dachas, cottages, houses, apartments, modules and trade pavilions, as well as public and municipal facilities).
By installing ceramic heating panels (reviews confirm this) in preschool and children's institutions (bedrooms, playrooms), you significantly increase the comfort of children's stay, as well as reduce the risk of colds. To provide additional safety for children, these devices are equipped with protective screens. The absence of protruding parts and low surface temperature make ceramic heating panels absolutely safe for children of any age.
The absence of cavities and gaps prevents the accumulation of dirt and dust, which ensures the convenience and ease of maintenance of this type of heaters. And most importantly, there is no longer a need to periodically paint radiators. Simply wipe the surface with a cotton cloth and non-abrasive detergent.
Many consumers noted the ease of installation of these heaters. In a room with an area of about 60 m2 this heating system can be installed in one working day. Also, the installation can be carried out in stages, which is especially convenient for large areas.
