Which one to choose for home and garden?

At first glance, there is nothing complicated in buying a convector: just choose a device that is suitable in terms of power and price.

But there are other important selection parameters.:

1. Room area. Usually on the packaging of the device it is indicated what area it can heat. But keep in mind that this information shows what area the convector can heat if it is the only source of heating. Accordingly, if batteries are heated in the apartment, it does not make sense to buy a device that is too powerful.
2. Mounting method. This criterion plays an important role if you want the convector to harmoniously fit into the design of the room. Wall-mounted devices are more suitable for kitchens and children's rooms, but floor convectors are considered the most versatile, because such devices can be freely transferred from one room to another. There are also built-in models that are mounted on the floor or window sill.
3. Dimensions and weight. It is important that the heater does not interfere with free movement around the room, so the dimensions of the device must correspond to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. Weight only plays an important role if the convector is to be moved frequently.

Types of convectors and their brief description

In addition to the mounting method, there is a division of convectors into types according to the type of fuel used.:

1. Gas. As a rule, they are installed in private houses, since the device must be connected to the chimney. But at the same time, such a convector can serve as the main source of heating, although it will have to be installed in every room.
2. Electrical. The most common type of convectors, because they are suitable for both private houses and apartments. Modern models provide remote control, and most devices have overheating protection. Such devices warm up the room quickly enough, but high-power devices consume a lot of electricity.
3. Water. Inside such a device, a liquid coolant is installed, which warms the air in the room. As a rule, such devices are built into the floor or window sill in office buildings, shopping centers or other spacious premises.

The principle of operation of the convector

The principle of operation of the device is based on a special type of heat transfer - convection. It involves the rapid formation of thermal energy.

Unlike other types of heaters, the convector heats up not only the adjacent space, but all the air in the room.

This is facilitated by the special shape of the device. As a rule, convectors are square and have holes in the body.

Cold air enters through some of them, and heated streams are blown out through other openings. Such a circulation ensures uniform heating of the entire room.

Pros and cons of convectors

The convector has numerous advantages in comparison with other heating devices.

The main advantages of the devices are:

• Quick warm-up: the air begins to warm up already 60 seconds after the device is turned on;
• Uniform distribution of heat in the room;
• Preservation of the optimal microclimate, since the device only warms up, but does not dry out the air in the room;
• The convector is very easy to install and use, because most devices do not require connection to any systems.

There are not so many disadvantages of these heating devices.. First of all, it should be noted that powerful and productive devices are expensive.

Convector or oil heater - which is better?

Many users doubt which heater is better to buy, a convector or an oil heater.

Generally speaking, they have the same principle of heating the air, they heat the air in the room a little differently.

If you need to warm up the whole room, it is better to buy a convector. Oil heaters heat the air locally.

But at the same time, they differ in a simpler design, so the breakdown of the device is almost completely excluded.

Convector or heating radiator - which is better?

Comparing convectors and stationary heating radiators is not entirely correct..

Despite the fact that both devices belong to heating devices, their functions are completely different.

A heating radiator is a familiar battery that is connected to a centralized or individual heating system..

All radiators are connected to a single network and heat the building constantly and with minimal user intervention.

But, if there is no heating system in the building, only a convector can provide high-quality heating, although devices will have to be installed in all rooms.

Convector or infrared heater - which is better?

Infrared heaters are considered the most modern heating devices, although according to a number of criteria they are still inferior to conventional convectors.

The infrared heater consumes very little electricity, and the devices themselves can be installed not only indoors, but also outdoors.

But at the same time, they warm up the air locally. That is, if the user leaves the heater's coverage area, he will not feel the heat.

Convectors are more functional in terms of heating area, but they can only be used indoors.

Therefore, if you need to heat a summer terrace or an open gazebo, you still have to give preference to an infrared device.

Electric boiler or convector - what to choose?

The principle of operation of a convector and an electric boiler is very different, so it is not entirely correct to determine which of these devices is better.

These devices evenly heat the entire room, but require special installation and regular maintenance..

That is why they are used only as the main, and not an additional source of heat.

The convector is a more mobile device.

Floor models that operate from a stationary power supply can be freely transferred from one room to another. In this case, when the temperature rises to the desired level, the device can be turned off and then turned on again.
