How to choose the electric convector

Convector heaters are one of leaders in the market of the climatic equipment. They are convenient, economic, do not burn oxygen indoors and are absolutely silent as in them there are no fans. The effect of convection is carried out because warm air from radiator rises up, and in it cold drags on. It provides effective heating.

Instruction

1. For a start you need to decide on electroconvector power. It depends on room space. The approximate scheme of calculation looks so: 400 Of W: 5 - 7 m2600VT: 8 - 10 m2800vt: 12 - 14 m21000vt: 14 - 16 m21200vt: 17 - 20 m21500vt: 21 - 25 m22000vt: 26 - 34 m2dannaya the scheme is suitable for rooms with the standard height of streams (from 2.4 m to 3 m) at fall of temperature on the street up to-20 degrees. If you want to operate the device as additional tool of heating in the apartment, at the available steam heating, or for easy heating of country house during the summer period, then you will suit less powerful device. In such situation the power deceleration to two-three times is admissible.

2. Important component of any heater – the thermostat. They are mechanical and electronic. The mechanical thermostat is cheaper, but it is not so exact as it electronic, and with lateness reacts to temperature change indoors. The electronic thermostat quickly reacts to temperature changes indoors and is capable to maintain the set temperature to within the tenth share of degree. The only minus of such thermostat – increase in the cost of the device to 20-30% in comparison with similar models. There are also programmable thermostats changing extent of heating on the program set by you. Such models are even more expensive, but they are very convenient. For example, you can adjust it so that in the period of your absence the convector will maintain temperature of +10 degrees in the house, and by the time of your arrival will warm up air up to the comfortable temperature. Respectively, during the day the electric power will be consumed less. Certainly, you can just lower before leaving heating temperature on the normal mechanical or electronic thermostat, and on arrival home to return comfortable for you, but with the programmable thermostat you should not freeze and wait until the room gets warm when you come home.

3. In the electroconvector surely there has to be protection against overheating as it is the device calculated on autonomous operation. This information has to be specified in documents the device.

4. Electroconvectors are divided into two types on way of installation – floor (on legs) and wall (on fastenings). Floor it is possible to move on the house, and it does not demand any mounting – it is just necessary to connect in the socket and all. Wall to fasten permanently, but at the same time practically does not take any place. Such option perfectly will approach if you accurately have decided on location of the heater.

5. Besides the main criteria for selection of the electroconvector you still should decide on the price and design. These points depend only on your purse and personal preferences. Electroconvectors are made by set of different firms, on different taste and purse so you with ease will be able to choose the device, ideal for you.
