Heating convector: types, how to choose

Convector heater heating it, in which the principle of convective movement of air in the heated room. In operation, the heaters do not produce noise and are able to independently maintain the required temperature in the room. The main advantages of high-quality heating convectors include uniform heating of the room, aesthetic appearance, ease of care and of course safety.

Underfloor heating convectors

Typically, underfloor heating heaters (inside-radiators) are part of a water heating system such devices are effective, safe, easy to fit into any interior thanks to the large choice of colors and decorative texture lattice. For areas with large glass fronts convectors are most suitable, since they will not be visible from the outside. Underfloor are as water heaters and electric, but the latter are less common.

wall-mounted convector

Wall convectors are popular not only in Russia but also abroad. Compactness, ease of installation and connection, nice design excellent performance are the main advantages of this type of devices. The main elements of the convector wall type heat exchanger or a heater (if it is an electrical convector) and a housing with a decorative grille. Also in the structure may be included fan for forced air circulation.

convector

Floor convectors, in contrast to the underfloor, mounted directly on the floor by means of special brackets. Structurally floor convectors are not much different from the wall and are composed of the same elements. Devices of this type have certain drawbacks, rank, and not always successfully fit into the interior.

electric convector

Typically, electrical convectors act as an additional heat source, if the central heating power for some reason is not sufficient. As the main source of heat such devices are generally installed in premises small area, such as summer houses. Why it happens? Electric heaters have several advantages over water convectors, such as low price, easy installation and configuration. The main drawback of such devices is the high price of electricity, and therefore high heating costs.
