An electric convector, like any other heating device, is required to create comfortable indoor conditions in the winter season. Central heating services in apartments are often not stable, so such a device becomes an excellent alternative for heating not only in living rooms, but also in kiosks, cottages, pavilions or garages. The temperature can be adjusted 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, perfectly fitting into the interior. This cannot be said about 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.
The electric convector consists of a metal case, and heating elements are placed inside it. Their operation is controlled by a mechanical or electronic thermostat. The heating element itself consists of a conductor withhigh resistance, placed in a heat-resistant ceramic case. It is hermetically sealed in an aluminum or metal box, which has an ergonomically shaped radiator equipped with deflection plates, wings or aerodynamic inserts. Thanks to this form, the useful area of the device increases significantly. Teng is able to work at a temperature of 600-1000 degrees Celsius. The electric convector does not dry out and does not burn the air inside the room.
The operation of the device is based on the physical law of heat transfer, known to all. Cold air is always at the bottom, and warm air is at the top. And the same happens in the convector. Cold air masses descend down, which pass through the heaters. During movement, the lower layers are heated, which become lighter, due to which they rise up. The air at the top cools, becomes heavier, sinks down. This happens all the time when the convector is on.
Considering the best electric convectors, you can understand that they are of two types: floor and wall. The former are usually narrow and oblong, no higher than 20 centimeters, while 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 body, but an electric wall-mounted convector, the price of which is from 2500 rubles, is much easier to install.
You can consider its benefits. The device does not require supervision when the automatic mode is on. The device warms up the room very quickly, and whenhis work the risk of drafts is reduced to zero. The temperature in the room is controlled by a built-in thermostat, which saves energy. It also prevents the heating elements from overheating. The electric convector can be installed in a room with a high level of humidity, as it is equipped with a moisture protection.
