Modern heating systems allow you to choose equipment that is optimal from various points of view. But also, which is not unimportant, the choice of equipment can be based on design preferences. And in this incarnation, heating with convectors built into the floor looks very interesting.
First of all, you need to understand what convectors are, or convector-type radiators. This name refers to heating equipment in which warm air from a heating element or coolant is transferred to the room by convection. Their design provides for the presence of air channels located between the plates in the fins. The air in the room, passing through them, heats up, as a result of which it becomes lighter and eventually rises. Thanks to this device, constant air circulation and, as a result, continuous heating are ensured. The main advantage that heating with convectors has is the uniform heating of the room, regardless of the existing partitions andinterior items. This largely determines their great popularity.
Each floor heating convector works the same way. But for all such heating devices, a distinctive feature is that after installation they are almost invisible and do not take up space on the walls of the room. In other words, these are convectors,
designed specifically for room design. They can be mounted in apartments, cottages, offices, swimming pools, shops, winter gardens. They are usually installed in buildings with panoramic windows. Often, heating with convectors built into the floor can be found in rooms in which window sills are located at a low height. There are models of this heating equipment for rooms with high humidity. In this case, they have a special water-repellent coating. At the same time, they not only tolerate high humidity well, but are even able to withstand flooding due to the design features and tightness of the case.
The thickness of such convectors is about 5-10 centimeters. Outwardly, they are a flat wide chute, in which a heating element or a heat exchanger passes inside, to which metal fins are connected. Due to this design, maximum heat transfer is ensured with a fairly small thickness of the equipment. To increase the power, the convectors can additionally be equipped with a fan. Due to this, the flow power can be increased by 3-5 times.
If it is planned to heat the room with convectors of this type, then this must be taken into account when designing the building. And the devices themselves are usually installed at the construction stage when pouring the floor. This is to ensure that the heating system is flush with the floor and does not interfere with the flooring.
The price of these heating convectors depends on many factors. This is the manufacturer, and the length of the device, its power, the presence of a fan to enhance the air flow. For example, EVA K-1000 with a power of 1 kW without a fan costs about 15,000, another model - EVA KB-1000 with similar characteristics (but a little wider and with a fan) - will cost the buyer already 32,000 rubles.
