Polotentsesushitel- necessary accessory bathroom. To quickly dry towels were fresh and pleasant to use, set the rotary towel. Type of product design complements the interior of a bathroom.

application

Swivel towel presented tubular structure in a coil having one or more sections. The coil is connected to a heating source.

Hot water, antifreeze or cable heated towel warmer surface, this it helps to heat the bathroom.

appointment

Direct purpose - to dry wet towels after use. Since in the bathroom humidity is increased, the classic clothesline give the minimum result. And in moisture develop harmful germs and bacteria.

• voluminous, thick towels to dry on the towel warmers quickly and accurately;
• another function -Creating a comfortable room temperature;
• clothes dryers;
• Heated towels;
• dehumidified air, humidity is eliminated;
• additional interior elements.

Device

The structure of the towel dryer equipped with special assemblies or rings, which connect the tube with one another. Thanks to such equipment units on the coil, it rotates in the hand by 180 degrees. Number of turning sections in each model is different: one, two, three, four.

Advantages of the design:

• turn ensures the practicality and ease of use;
• If the unit is equipped for a niche, it will be available for use;
• individual Rotary clubs will allow to dry two - three towels at the same time;
• It prevents the appearance of condensation and dampness in the room - mold sources, fungus;
• delivers heat in the desired direction.

Types, pros and cons of turning towel

Water

Water products are heated with hot water or provided during the heating operation. Technical characteristics of the model correspond to the system operating pressure additive level.

Pros:

• purchase and repair of the cost of other types;
• free operation during the heating season;
• minimum heating time when connected to the heating;
• simplicity of the device ensures high safety;
• an impressive selection of sizes, materials and shapes.

Minuses:

• wear rings mechanism, which leads to leakage. If this happens suddenly, there is a risk to flood its neighbors.
• connection with the heating system, hot water

Combined

The design consists of two circuits, one connected to the hot water supply, second autonomous running from the mains.

It combines the pros and cons of electric and water units. Installation of the equipment is more complicated. This type is connected as an electrical and water together. Necessarily mounted fittings, which blocks the movement of the water.

Heat transfer fluid goes on alternate bypass line, which also needs structure. Dual heating saves costs, as the cold season heating by heating.

Positive characteristics are the all the advantages of both types, and the negative - the high cost of the product.

Electric

The structure of the towel dryer includes a heating cable or a special heating element (thermally conductive electrical insulator). Electric models operate independently of the heating and water supply. There are two types:

• liquid

Filled in mineral oil, antifreeze or treated water from which oxygen is displaced. This prevents the inner tube surface corrosion.

The housing includes a heating unit heating element, which supplies the temperature of the coolant, and it heats the surface of the product. The heating rate is slow, but the temperature is kept warm for a long time.

• Cable

At the heart of the construction of solid and dry aggregates - special cable. the network connection is a hidden way. The surface of the heater gives a temperature 65 - 70 degrees. Heat units for a short time, cool down too rapidly. Safety equipment includes a protective earth connection is required installation conditions.

Benefits:

• the exclusion of water leakage;
• air is not trapped impurities;
• Regulation of the heating temperature (on some models);
• assembly at the desired location bathroom;
• original performance of shapes and sizes;
• power regulation;
• the convenience of use;
• the possibility of the design solution;
• easy installation and easy disassembly;

Disadvantages:

• product with indicators 700 W power consume a lot of electricity;
• is necessary to connect a separate power line output, it will take an extra socket with protection against surges and moisture;
• insufficient moisture resistance, so the placement can not be next to the sink and bathtub.

Features

• Form models consist of a large variety. From simple N-, S-, U-shaped to the most original design options. A popular form of a ladder attractive and functional.
• The higher the power, the higher heat capacity. If the device requires only drying towels, suitable low-power economical model. When you want to increase the heating of the room, takes into account area of ​​the room, filling the towel warmer.

Power 70 - 100 Watt suitable for drying clothes. Energy costs little, is equivalent to a light bulb. The unit with 400 watt dry more shoes and gloves.

Indicator 400 watts to 600 watts of infrared has the controlling function. It is carried out by remote control. Regulated temperature, mode of operation (day, night, day).

Devices with a power of 1000 watts protected against overheating, the temperature is adjusted from 5 to 35 degrees, include a timer setting and storing certain settings.

• The ability to withstand water hammer, i.e. the sharp increase of pressure up to 10 atmospheres. They also include corrosion resistance. Form affects this index.

A pair of thick, a lot of thin pipes forming a ladder, characterized by a high degree of surge protection and corrosion products in the water type.

Electric embodiment presented double S- shaped serpentine. To attach the wall bottom and top of the product, providing a turn. Corrosion and leakage are not threatened because of the long heating element.

Material

• brass;
• copper;
• aluminum;
• steel (polished, plated, enamel).

Chrome-plated stainless steel models are durable, but are vulnerable to heavy impurities contained in the water. Over time, they settle on the pipe walls, narrowing the cross-country. If the material of manufacture - black steel, the problem disappears, since the inner surface is covered with a protective layer against corrosion.

Polished steel products slightly inferior. But the colored version - economical, but less durable.

Models of brass and copper, are characterized by good performance of the heat output and high quality. However, the use of time is less. Most often copper products are equipped as a design element.

Exploitation

1. Avoid prolonged moisture to heated towel rails that did not appear mold, fungi.
2. it is recommended to install a special emergency stop device for the operation of electrical apparatus. When voltage drops apparatus will not suffer.
3. Socket for better moisture resistant products.
4. In the OFF state on the surface of the deposited droplets of moisture, which can cause corrosion. Therefore, when the device is not working, a couple of drops are wiped dry with a towel, a sponge.

Some models are equipped with strips for storage or drying shoes.

Guarantee a long service life is a seamless pipe that is less reason for leakage, if it gets going. It is enough to examine the chimney, check seams.

Paint coating will be unreliable. It is more resistant enamel coating, while superiority takes chrome.

Some models are equipped with a valve that allows you to solve the problem of air pockets. Otherwise, the device performance decreases.

malfunctions

A common cause of repairs - Faulty swing members. It usually happens after a few years of operation. Place of hinge mechanisms take place, it needs to be replaced nodes. Or give preference to an electrical product, then the question would be irrelevant leak.

• Electric towel cold

This may be because a faulty socket, a failed due to high humidity in the room. To ensure fault outlet, connect the device to the other point of power through an extension cord. If nothing has changed, change the outlet.

• Clogged pipes

With a weak water circulation, low water warming device serves cause blockage of valves and pipes. It needs to be cleaned.

In an electrical product: the device is disconnected from the network, is removed from the support. Further unscrew the valve, by a metal wire is cleaned and he pipe section. The unit is mounted backwards. To mitigate poured hydrochloric acid solid salt residues.

When water blockages device overlaps water, it is dismantled. Placed in a capacity to remove water. All public places are cleaned metal wire, are washed by water pressure. For performance repeat the procedure several times.

• Airlock

Structure partially removed, until a hole for air release from the system. Using a screwdriver to unscrew the bolt, wait for the water. After tighten the bolt, return of the tube into place. Replacement of pipes made of the repair service.

• Improper connection to the common rail

Irregularities in the pipeline replaced in the water system. I.e. neighbors produced unscrupulous repair disrupted direction of flow of hot water.

If repair work has appeared the risk of damaging the device, use the help of a mechanic.

When choosing a product, you want to make the bathroom a comfortable, inviting and beautiful. The variety of models allows any of your wants and needs. When choosing a device, should be based on conditions specific bathroom and find a more comfortable option for the repair or construction planning.
