Like any other heating devices, electric wall-mounted heating radiators are required to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room during the cold season. As a rule, autonomous or central heating is provided in the dwelling. However, the latter is distinguished by its unstable work. Autonomous heating also sometimes fails. In such a situation, electric heaters will serve as an excellent addition to the system.
Application
It is believed that electric wall-mounted heating radiators, compared to conventional gas appliances, are more expensive to operate. This is due to the regular increase in energy prices. But there are electrical appliances for economical heating. In addition, it happensso that electric radiators are the only option, since the supply of gas to consumers is intermittent or there are no gas distribution networks in the area at all.
Electric wall-mounted heating radiators can be installed in almost any convenient place. It is worth noting that at present these heaters are used as a spare or additional source of heat.
Benefits
- Reliability and durability.
- These devices can be used in rooms with high humidity.
- Safety.
- You can set your own mode in some rooms.
- Automatic maintenance of operating parameters.
- No permissions required to connect.
- Easy to install.
- Moderate cost.
- Quiet operation.
Classification
Depending on the variant of the radiator grille, these heaters can be divided into two main types:
- Liquid.
- Liquidless.
Let's consider them in more detail.
Liquid Devices
Liquid electric wall-mounted heating radiators (reviews about them are mostly positive) in their sections have special channels filled with coolant. Similar to water heaters, the heat from the liquid is transferred to the metal surface, and then the heat exchange between the air and the sections takes place (convectiveheat exchange) and elements inside the room (radiant heat exchange). The only difference from water heating is that there is no circulation in electrical appliances, and the liquid is heated by a heating element.
Oil can act as a working fluid. Heating oil electric wall-mounted radiators do not have open heating elements, in this regard, oxygen is not burned, as a result, fine dust particles are not formed.
Liquid devices can either be connected to a water heating system or function as a separate heating device.
Liquid-free radiators
Unlike the previous version, in this case, the use of a coolant is not provided, and heat transfer from heating elements occurs directly to the metal heat-releasing surface. They cannot be connected to a water heating system and installed as an independent heating device.
Liquid-free wall-mounted heating radiators heat up faster, but they also cool down faster. These devices are lightweight, making them much easier to move from one room to another.
Choosing an electric convector
For a long time there has been a competition between central heating appliances and electric radiators (direct wall units). Recently, electric wall-mounted heating radiators have taken a leading position. Since the datadevices can be installed in any convenient place. Due to its compactness, such an element not only fits perfectly into the interior, but also does not interfere with free movement around the room.
Standard electrical appliance (not wall-mounted) in most cases is located in the middle of the room. It also has an electrical cable that can be tripped over.
Water heaters require a supply of communications, which also create difficulties in moving and take up living space, besides they are more bulky.
Safety measures
To ensure the safe operation of the electrical appliance, the following must be observed:
- The device must be regularly cleaned from dust, and most importantly, to prevent dust from getting on its electrical part.
- When connecting to the network, use grounding.
- Indoor humidity should not exceed 80%.
- It is not advisable to connect the device to the same outlet as other electrical appliances, as this may cause network overload.
