Heating "warm plinth". Saving or another ruse managers?

Progress does not stand still. To finally get rid of the boring old radiators, continually inventing new ways of heating the house. Recently faced with managers who worship (read vtyuhivayut) warm plinth. Yes, they have, of course, has its advantages and useability. But in the form in which they are promoting - it's money down the drain.

main vtyuhat

Warm plinth - Water or electrical heating system, which is installed along the contour of space near the floor. Outwardly, it looks like a plinth.

If we sell so sell. "We throw out all the old radiators and instead set up a warm plinth" - call sellers. Because they have many advantages:

• Attractive appearance. Do not need to tolerate bulky radiators under windows.
• Comfort. Skirting warms the walls around the perimeter. The heat is distributed quickly and evenly.
• Saving. Energy-efficient system 30-50% reduces heating costs.

Design will not discuss - a matter of taste. With the rest, let's deal.

wasteful economy

To argue passionately but who naekonomil and what measurements obtained by contacting the physics and thermal engineering. According to the formula for calculating the heat transfer resistance is defined heat loss.

We consider the same house with different heating systems. Therefore, the area and the heat transfer resistance of the same walls. Changing only the temperature difference. That she puts an end to the economy.

When intense heating starts from the wall surface, increasing the temperature difference (delta T). Heat losses are increasing. The savings can be no question.

snotty comfort

While there is a radiator, he "cuts" downdrafts of cold air that come from the window. Power warm plinth is several times lower. He can not cope with this task. As a result - constantly "blowing" of the window.

Sit by the window in the winter without warm slippers and a sweater no longer work. And if a family has children, the pediatrician becomes a frequent visitor. Where is the comfort?

Approach to the design of the heating necessary in a complex. Find the best or the universal system will not work. On this I have everything. Thanks for reading and subscribe to a channel.
