Wall-mounted electric heater: economical model for cottages and homes

Where you can use electric heaters and operating principles of different devices

The main difference from the usual elektrootopiteley radiators that are independent devices with an autonomous system, self-generating heat. They are not related to each other and need to be connected to the mains. For such devices, there is no need to draft and to buy a special boiler. They can be placed in almost any room, except for those in which you will not be able to protect them from direct exposure to moisture.

Wall-mounted electric heaters do not take place, they are flat and relatively low weight, so that they can be mounted not only on the load-bearing walls, but also on partitions.

Their use is permitted in schools, hospitals and kindergartens. Due to its compactness and ease of use and installation of such economical wall-mounted electric heaters are widely used for villas and country houses.

Oil electric heaters with thermostats and convectors

Oil inside the heating radiator has a helical heating element which can be heated to 800 ° C! To such a powerful heater oxygen not burned and not "roasting" the dust by heating spiral hidden in the housing of the metal-filled mineral oils. Oil filler does not expand as much as water, and keeps excellent conducts heat, it protects the body against rust and is not the current conductor even if damaged tank shell.

Skeptics argue that most of the energy is spent on heating oil. In fact, the oil cooler is heated a little longer, but he continuously keeps the heat after turning off, so that the energy losses are minimal here. In the piggy bank benefits oil batteries - their electrical safety, excellent heat capacity and reasonable price. Among the significant shortcomings can be noted the impossibility of controlling heating system in the whole house. Such instruments must not be covered with a cloth, because it leads to burnout PETN and threatened breach of the integrity of the oil reservoir.

Heaters Wall Mount

wall electric heaters They have a very attractive price and a rich assortment. Their installation is extremely simple, and it's easy to make your own hands. The principle of operation of devices convector is forced air flow through the housing, wherein the heating element is located.

Spiral heater is made of refractory material and is heated by electricity. The amount of heat proportional to the current supplied to the coil. Cheap devices have an open helix, it is heated to 800 ° C. During operation of such devices is usually emit a not very pleasant smell, have been burned minute dust particles that fall from the air stream. These heaters burn oxygen, so that the room you need to air regularly, and it is fraught with the loss of heat.

Expensive models have a protected heater. For this purpose a heat exchanger of steel or aluminum in the form of plates or meshes. Such a device is better distributes the heat and prevents the penetration of dust in a spiral.

Significant disadvantages - high body temperature and oxygen burning in the room.

Electric wall heaters and their device

Heaters can be wall-mounted and floor. The last produced in a flat rectangular case. The device provides the forced air flow through the impeller with eletroprivodom and heating from PETN. The most simple and cheap are heaters with spiral. Slightly more expensive - device with ceramic heating elements. The porous ceramic air passes through itself and simultaneously heats it to the desired temperature. Such devices are considered to be the safest in the segment.

Ceramic wall panel heaters

Batteries based ceramics are of two types: Convection and radiant. Convectors operate on the principle described above, with the only difference that the metallic heat exchanger in ceramic dressed "shirt". This is not the most economical device, but they quickly warmed the room.

But ceramic emitters very economically expend energy. Placed on the wall, they form a dome of heat in the room. Such devices do not overheat and long hold heat after being disconnected from the network. They can be safely put into a child's room, as these models are equipped with multiple levels of security.

At closer examination can detect and disadvantages such scholkayut battery during operation, which is especially annoying at night, and not repairable.

How safe are energy-saving wall quartz heaters for home

Monolithic devices have a quartz nichrome based heating element and a quartz sand in a flask or monolithic quartz plate. Inside the bulb is a metal plate mirror which reflects infrared radiation. All such wall elektoobogrevateli be a controller with built-in or external.How safe are energy-saving wall quartz heaters for home

For what services users choose this type of battery? They have very high heat and high heat capacity.

Quartz device can be safely left unattended, putting on the anti-freeze mode. He did not give a radiator burst from the ice during the absence of the owners home. That in the red? Such devices are very heavy due to the use of a monolithic plate or container of sand. And another unpleasant moment - strong heating surface - to 95 ° C. Here you can get and burn.

Infrared energy-efficient wall heaters for the home: that they good, except the price

IR batteries are ceramic, carbon fiber, of electric heaters and halogen. What is the difference:

• ceramic - radiate heat through several layers of the ceramic coating. Floor models are equipped with automatic shut-off rollover wall have good capacity, sufficient for a full space heating;
• carboxylic They have a heating filament at its core. They are completely safe and extremely economical. The service life of such devices is almost unlimited;
• TENovyeInfrared wall electric heaters using a tubular heater. You can not use these devices in areas with high humidity;
• halogen or tube batteries have a high capacity. Rapidly heated all the objects in the room, protected against overheating automatic. But such devices are not recommended to use for people with health problem.

They serve for at least two decades and did not emit extraneous sounds during operation. The temperature in the room can be controlled by setting a nice bonus is the destruction of airborne viruses and pathogenic bacteria.

The negative aspects of a bit: after disabling the room temperature is rapidly declining, and during the operation the indoor air too dry.

Micatermic infrared panel

At the heart of these devices - technology aerospace industry. The heating elements in such heaters coated with multiple layers of metal oxides and the final layer of mica. Heater made of an alloy of chromium and nickel.

Versatile and cost-effective Membrane heaters on the wall

Film heaters - a modern technology that literally takes by storm the markets. They are actively used for heating of floors, ceilings and walls. They look like a polymer film coated with carbon and copper strips bus line. Such a flexible wall-mounted heater can be safely put under the finishing materials, without fearing for their safety.

How manufacturers of wall heaters can trust

When you go to the hardware store, the seller will fill profitable, highly profitable and extremely profitable offers. Do not rush to buy the cheapest wall electric heater or the most expensive. There are manufacturers who are really responsible attitude to quality and security devices. Yes, it's famous brands, but they are famous for this very reason. So, who can be trusted:

• ALMAC - domestic manufacturer that produces not only the heaters, but also medical devices. The designers of this company actively use innovation, and this affects the efficiency and durability of the devices;

• BALLU - air conditioning equipment the company has virtually no competitors. Thousands of enthusiastic responses proof. I would like to mention the IR panels for wall and ceiling placement;

• TIMBERK - the Swedish brand has manufacturing facilities in Russia, due to this price for the product is quite affordable, and quality in line with international standards;

• ECOLINE - domestic production of TSC. It should be noted that adaptation range to harsh Russian conditions: temperature differences and interruptions in the supply of electricity.

This quartet, in the opinion of our editorial staff - foremost in the production of wall-mounted electric heaters. There are other big-name company with a good reputation.
