What is a warm plinth: Design Features
The design of the heating electric plinth is not very different from the old heating devices. Inside the device registers are located, which are made of copper tubes. An important difference from the standard plinth heaters is its compactness. Small dimensions are compensated by the installation of perimeter of the room equipment.
Plinth system consists of the following elements:
- turning parts;
- tubular convector;
- box with special brackets.
Such a system can be assembled independently. Warm air flow moves from the barrier structure and is cold, which is coming from the walls. Heated plinth - a box made of metal. It is mounted on the wall instead of the standard plinth of wood or plastic. In the middle is a heating element which is mounted on special holders. All items are secured by using technology soldering or by using a crimp nut. In the corner portions of the heat exchangers are mounted pivoting tubes of copper or polyethylene. As coolant applied electricity or water. They lend themselves to the plinth of the rotary collector tubes. the collector element is complemented by shut-off and drain valves as well as air vent.
Warm plinth has the following advantages:
- heating the wall surfaces, which protects against the occurrence of mold and fungus microorganisms. Suitable for corner rooms;
- efficiency, the coolant outlet temperature 5 degrees lower than at the inlet. This is possible thanks to the closed housing;
- saving usable area, thanks to its small size, which is important for small spaces;
- such a system provides a favorable climate not only for humans but also for animals and plants;
- disappears condensation on windows;
- highest efficiency at work;
- simplicity and safety of operation.
Warm plinth is characterized by the extensive application. It can be used in private homes or apartments, instead of district heating. Often, such a structure is established for heating offices, shops, showrooms and pools. Warm structure is positioned along the cold and damp on the walls the balcony, The conservatory and at the head bed.
Useful advice! Installation of such a construction is recommended in areas where allergy sufferers live. Since the decrease in humidity and dampness in the walls prevents many allergens.

Variety of electric baseboards
When choosing warm electric baseboards price is important. This parameter also depends on the particular type of design. Only two of them:
- embodiment used in the electric heating dry parts which are arranged in the copper tubes. In this case, the heating more efficient and secure. To connect such a construction requires powerful electrical wiring. More economical operation is possible thanks to a device such as a thermoregulator;
- in warm water structure when working is performed boiler. In this case, the system is similar to the standard scheme radiators.
Installation of such systems allows them to be used as a primary radiator.
Water heating system It includes the following elements:
- radiatorWhich is a box with the heat exchanger;
- manifold containing two lines, responsible for supply and return of coolant;
- set of plastic tubes. In this part with the smaller diameter placed in a broader.

"Tube along which moves the heating medium located in the corrugated sheath. In this case, it can change quickly in case of breakage without removing the floors and walls. "
Selection infrakrasnog electrical skirting
Before buying an electric baseboard warm, it is worth to get to know its species. popular IR model. The power of such a construction is varied up to 150 watts. It can provide basic heating, as the degree of heat transfer up to five times better than other peers.
The present composition system anodized aluminum slats that will strongly heat the wall and the next surface. Installation of baseboards creates a veil, to save space from the cold.
Heater cable apparatus
The second type of electrical system consists of a baseboard radiator units which are equipped with heating elements with a power of 200 watts. These parts are mounted in a copper tube. The other tube power cable is located, which is covered with heat-resistant material.
Such skirting heating used for heating any premises, except where there is a high level of humidity. Such a heating system is going easier than water. In this case, the heating parts are placed in a box, and the installation of the collector and the supply lines are not needed.
The operating principle of baseboard designs
When using heating baseboard heating is performed not only on the impact of air masses in the lower part of the room, but also in the heat transfer wall surface. In this warm-air convection layers by expended energy of about 25-30%, and the remainder goes to the heating walls.
The heated air rises upward along the walls and mix with the other layers. This creates an air cushion. First wall warmed to 36-37 degrees, and then they are given to the resulting heat into space.
It has a price when choosing models essential. Electric warm moldings can have a different value depending on the characteristics of the device and certain characteristics. Structurally, the system consists of a heating element is coated with a rod of light metal. This item comprises a tube of copper having attached fins.
Helpful information! Plinth design can reduce costs for energy by 20-40% due to efficient heat distribution. To increase efficiency we must try not to obstruct the heating section furniture and other objects.

The nuances of installation
Certain rules must be followed when installing warm electric baseboards with their hands. Before installation, you need to choose the right type of construction: electrical or water. If the design is electric, it is necessary to consider safe wiring to the connection point. When water baseboard, you must decide how to connect the structure to the central heating.
Installation of such a device is performed in two stages. First there is the preparation of outputs for connection design, layout is performed supply lines and connect the cable. The second stage is performed after finishing the interior. In the water system being installed all the details baseboard units connected to the outputting elements and made balancing circuits and pressure testing of the system. In an electric embodiment all housing parts are fixed, the contours are connected to the terminals and all measurements are performed insulation. Then configures thermostats.
It is important to correctly calculate the required number of sections. This takes into account the power of the system and possible heat loss. These numbers depend on the quality of wall insulation, Window systems, and air temperature. It should be borne in mind that for the electrical design of 10 square meters will require 0.5 kW. And for water will need twice as much power.
When installing baseboard system need to follow some rules:
- the plinth is mounted at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from the wall and 1 cm from the flooring. The clearance required for obereganiya from overheating;
- be sure to mark up using otbivochnogo thread;
- made hole drilling;
- dowels are inserted in holes of plastic, and is then set with baseboards level;
- installed jumper, and held grounding;
- each element is connected in series.
After installation, you must include the baseboard and test its performance. Then the system is covered with all necessary plugs and caps. It is important to establish termoregulyatoR. Its mounted at a distance of one and a half meters away from the heating elements. When this is applied to the rear wall panel, and are marked for drilling holes. In the ready-installed dowel holes, which is mounted thermoregulator.
When laying the cable, there are also some nuances. The heating elements are connected in parallel. You can mask the cable in several ways. You can proshtrobit hole in the wall or remove it in a box outside. The cable is laid in the direction thermostat or junction box.
Electric warm plinth: the price and the application of
When choosing warm electric baseboards should know the price and reviews. The modern system operates on the principle of convection. Experts say that the heating is carried out at the expense of premises equipment, as well as from surrounding objects. This thermal effect contributes to the heat distribution along the contour of the room and height.
This type of equipment does not cause harm to human health. Warm plinth protects from excess moisture and dust from appearing. A similar construction is used as the main heating system. It can be used to balconies, terraces and loggias. And also supplemented by various heating devices. The system is recommended for a variety of options boiler equipment.
Baseboard heat is distributed evenly. Furniture and blinds may relate to housing plinth, as it is absolutely safe. With such heater You can create any interior and implement a variety of design ideas. Baseboard equipment suitable for any room, because the color of the housing can have a variety of shades. This can be an imitation of a natural material or any other invoice. Perfect the system for areas with a large number of window openings and high ceilings.
