Heating country house electric heaters

click fraud protection

One of the options for the heating system of a country house - the use of autonomous sources of heat, not by a common backbone. If earlier it was mainly oil coolers, now becoming more common electric convector heater. Among the participants FORUMHOUSE this method of heating is also quite popular not only in the cottages, which stare at the weekend, but also in the homes of permanent residence.

What are the convectors

Unlike oil coolers and similar devices, heaters heat the air not only directly around itself and around the room by convection - cyclic movement of the cold and warm air Mass. Cold air enters the bottom of the unit through the bottom grate is heated by passing through the heater, exits through the upper grille and rises to the ceiling, cooled down again descends and enters the heater. In some models as a fan forcibly accelerating circulation process.

Device

The basis convector - a heating element (heater) of the tubular, the monolithic type or needle at the bottom portion of the aluminum or steel shell. Despite the fact that the heater itself may become hot and above 100⁰ C, the maximum temperature 60⁰S housing - hot, but the burns are not threatened. This feature greatly expands the scope of application: even the walls of the timber or timber - not a hindrance to the heater assembly. Adjusting device and is controlled by a mechanical governor or an electronic display, a mechanical embodiment is less reliable, but less expensive electronics is more expensive but more perfect.

For convector characterized by maximum efficiency (about 100%) due to direct heating of the air without the intermediate energy expenditure for heating the fluid.

alex157 (Member FORUMHOUSE):
All units have efficiency, once you have settled on an electric heating, note the loss:
  • Electric boiler -> coolant -> layout -> Radiators -> heating air.
  • Oil cooler -> coolant -> Heatsink -> heating air.
  • Convector -> heating air.

The choice is yours.

In addition, the heater can also be configured to maintain a certain temperature, and it will work in this mode, including, as appropriate, which significantly reduces power consumption. At the cottage-end collision of periodic convectors put on mode "nezamerzayki" (maintain a minimum air temperature) and "stoker" on arrival. If you talk about branded models with PG, you can set the temperature rise in a specific day before arrival. There is also the possibility of remote control, it is discussed in detail in the appropriate topic on the forum.

Power devices varies in a wide range that allows you to choose a suitable unit, based on network capacity and quadrature or volume of the space. As in the case with any other heat sources 10 m² desirable to obtain 1 kW of heat, with the proviso that the house is insulated qualitatively.

Another advantage is the versatility of the instrument - they are wall, floor, and even built. Recent least popular and most commonly used to create the air curtain at the entrance or panoramic windows. Some models of wall convectors can function as a floor when to purchase and install the legs. Release and miniature, baseboard heaters, height around 15 cm. Regardless of the species, all the modern heaters have a presentable appearance, there are even original, black device, but the bulk is still white. The most common form - thin, smooth panel as a rectangle with straight, beveled or rounded corners. Location of mechanical relay or the display depends on the manufacturer.

Installation and operation

It attracts customers not only high efficiency, large variety of modifications and decorative, but also ease of installation and maintenance. Even the Wall devices do not require shtrobleniya walls and global change, and are mounted on conventional brackets, floor and all you can move around the house.

Due to the characteristics of the air intake is not recommended to hang heaters too low, unless it is a special model for the panoramic windows. First of all, it will entail unnecessary costs.

AndreyZabolotky (Member FORUMHOUSE):
With little need, and can be mounted 10cm from the floor. Just lower you hang convector, the greater will be the discrepancy between the figures on the thermostat convector and the actual temperature in the room. The only installed "on the floor" is not necessary - the air intake at the bottom convectors implemented.

Despite the fact that the power is selected based on the quadrature (in suburban homes - from the volume), more efficient use of multiple units to cover the needs of the room.

AndreyZabolotky:
For room 20m² effectively be two convector kilowatt - they work in pairs, and each will focus on the ambient temperature in their area of ​​installation.

In terms of management, no problem to set up two or three convector, occasionally twisting a knob or setting program on the scoreboard, but when there are more than a dozen in different rooms or on different floors, it is advisable to be puzzled group control.

EnstoBT (Member FORUMHOUSE):
If you want a normal group control, it is possible to convector supply line connected via the corresponding contactor par, the coil 220, giving it control voltage from the temperature controller with the necessary sensors and necessary control. The premises heaters will keep the temperature in accordance with the setting on your thermostat.

Since suburban power even rarer city can boast a stable voltage and convectors, especially with e "Stuffing" for normal operation need 220, but not as much as to squeeze out a plug, it is necessary to connect them through stabilizers.

Alexey Glukhov (Member FORUMHOUSE):
Permanent problem - the voltage drop in winter, frost on when all include powerful boilers dropped below 100 V. Even if the outlet is 150-160 V, the convector starts worse very hot wire and plug. Less common is disabled because it is difficult to warm up the air with a low voltage, ie, ground almost constantly. one for each phase, powered by 90 V - That's why I put three stabilizer

In some models, built-in stabilizers, but they are more expensive to install than an external device to the budget unit.

disadvantages

As with all other heating options in heating convector has its drawbacks. The fact that heating with electricity - one of the most expensive ways, discussed many times, but the actual heating costs will depend not only on the price per 1 kW of heat. Given that the heaters do not require the creation of binding, such as electric or solid fuel boiler, for their purchase and installation costs are considerably lower. The quality insulated house even heating convector does not require exorbitant costs, and if drafts are walking, and the gas itself actually "fly pipe" in. To verify the possibility or impossibility of heating convectors, teploraschet should do, based on their specific conditions, as well as to estimate all costs of establishment of various systems.

Charges convectors in burning oxygen refutes one of the participants of the portal involved in their production.

EnstoBT:
Heaters oxygen is not burned, oxygen in normal conditions not burn.

But convectors are a few dry air, reducing humidity, especially if powerful device is installed in a small room or a built-in fan. When not afford a model with a built-in humidifier / ionizer, you can buy an external humidifier, and solve the problem as it becomes available, if you really start to feel dry.

Electric heaters - heating only one of variants of a country house, with its own advantages and disadvantages, but it has a right to exist. The choice is yours.

If it is decided to drown convectors, a manufacturer prefer and why - in the forum thread - "Help for the selection of convectors ...". Preference for warm floor - it kind of interesting - infrared, film or cableIt draws heat transfer fluid - article System TP Ground. In the video - a built-in convectors in addition to the main heating system.
