Electric Radiators Types
\n\n\nWhat Are Electric Radiators
\n\n\n\nFor centuries, people have been in a constant search for finding new ways to provide heat to their households, from big traditional fireplaces and large radiators to cost-efficient central heating systems. Since their first emergence on the market, the electric radiators have gone through a series of technical improvements, and what used to be a bulky, heavy and an expensive ‘metal beast’, is now a cost-efficient and reliable electric heater with an improved temperature control.
\n\n\n\nTo a great extent, electric radiators resemble the conventional water-based radiators. The difference lies in the fact that the former ones are using electric power instead of water for producing heat. The heat is released once electricity is passed through the radiator’s heating element – an electrical resistor; thus, it can be stated that these radiators convert electricity into heat.
\n\n\n![\"Electric](\"https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2022/10/electric-radiator.jpg\")
How Does An Electric Radiator Work?
\n\n\n\nElectric radiators are quite compact and can be easily fitted into small and narrow rooms. Some of the radiators are using liquid coolants such as mineral oils in order to produce heat. The electric current heats up the heating element, which subsequently heats the oil inside the radiator. There are no associated risks to using oil based radiators, whereas these electric appliances are tightened hermetically in order to prevent oil leakage. In addition to this, most of the radiators are equipped with a safety system that protects the radiator from overheating.
\n\n\n\nThe amount of heat that is generated by an electric radiator is controlled by a thermostat installed within the radiator itself. Nevertheless, the radiator can be purchased without a thermostat, which will make it easier to integrate it into the house’s central heating system connecting it to a boiler or to a heat pump, and be run from a common remote control post.
\n\n\n![\"5](\"https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2022/10/5-facts-about-electric-radiators.png\")
Electric Radiator Types
\n\n\n\nDepending on some technical characteristics and on the way the heat is distributed, electric radiators can be divided into four distinct categories:
\n\n\n\n- Fan Heaters
- Convection Radiators
- Infrared Radiators
- Oil-Based Electric Radiators
Fan Heaters
\n\n\n\nThese electric heating devices consist of two main parts: (i) the fan and (ii) the heater. The fan ensures a constant air flow through the heating element (spiral or tubular wires) that heats the air, which is later spread across the room. A built-in thermostat switches off the fan once it reaches a predetermined temperature. It may also include a fan rotation speed controlling feature, which will protect the unit from overheating during prolonged use.
\n\n\n\nThe pros of an electric fan heater are mainly a rapid heating of the air, and its ability to maintain a constant temperature in relatively large spaces. Conversely, the cons of a fan heater are conditional to the amount of electricity it consumes and oxygen it burns, and also to its inability to be used in rooms with high humidity levels.
\n\n\n![\"Radiators\"/](\"https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2022/10/radiators.jpg\")
Convection Radiators
\n\n\n\nThe functioning principle of a convection radiator is based on the premise that the cold air always falls to the bottom and penetrates the radiator’s lower grid. Passing through the heating elements, the air is heated, becomes lighter and rises to the top of the room. The air’s upper layers are cooled down and therefore, become heavier and fall down to the bottom, repeating the cycle again and again. The continuous movement of warm air creates a comfortable temperature and cozy environment in the room.
\n\n\n\nThe convector itself consists of a metal casing with built-in heating elements, which are controlled by a thermostat or a special designed timer. It does not burn oxygen, does not dry the air, is not susceptible to moisture, is safe and easy to assemble.
\n\n\n\nInfrared Radiators
\n\n\n\nThis type of radiator provides a fairly new form of heating, and its use is gaining a stronger momentum from year to year. The main difference compared with other electric heaters is that the device itself does not heat the air in the room, the heating occurs by using electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, while keeping the radiator cold. The infrared heaters are equipped with safety sensors which will automatically turn off the device in the event of a rollover.
\n\n\n![\"Infrared](\"https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2022/10/collage_2.jpg\")
Oil-Based Electric Radiators
\n\n\n\nThe inner space of the radiator is filled up with mineral oil. The heating element heats the oil, as it passes the heat through the radiator’s cover to the surrounding area. The heating elements are encased inside the radiator, which prevents the burning of oxygen and small dust particles. The immediate advantages of an oil based electric radiator stem from its fire safety features, noise-free operation and its increased mobility. Its most notable drawback is the fact that the radiator’s outer cover gets really hot, which leads to an uneven heat distribution throughout the room.

电散热器类型
什么是电散热器
几个世纪以来,人们一直在不断搜索寻找新的方法来为他们的家庭提供热量,从大传统的壁炉和大散热器的中央加热系统。自从他们第一次出现在市场上,电散热器已经通过一系列的技术改进,以及使用笨重,沉重和一个昂贵的金属兽,现在是一个有成本效益的和可靠的和一种改进的温度控制电加热器。
在很大程度上,电动散热器类似传统的水性散热器。的区别在于,前者是使用电力代替水来产生热量。热释放一次电力通过散热器的加热元件——一个电阻器;因此,它可以表示,这些散热器将电能转化为热量。
电动散热器是如何工作的呢?
电散热器很紧凑,可以很容易地安装成小和狭窄的房间。一些散热器使用矿物油等液体冷却剂以产生热量。电流加热的加热元件,随后散热器内的油加热。没有相关的风险使用基于石油的散热器,而这些电器收紧熔为了防止石油泄漏。除此之外,大部分的散热器都配备一个安全系统,保护散热器过热。
的热量是由电动散热器是由一个温控器控制调节安装在散热器本身。然而,散热器可以购买没有恒温器,这将使它更容易集成到房子的暖气系统连接到一个锅炉或热泵,运行从一个共同的远程控制。
电暖气类型
根据一些技术特征和热分布的路上,电散热器可分为四个不同的类别:
- 风扇加热器
- 对流散热器
- 红外散热器
- 油基电散热器
风扇加热器
这些电热设备包括两个主要部分:(i)在风扇和加热器(2)。风扇可以保证恒定的空气流过加热元件(螺旋状或管状线)加热空气,后来蔓延到整个房间。一个内置的恒温器开关风扇一旦达到预定的温度。它也可能包括一个风扇转速控制功能,这将保护单位在长期使用过热。
电风扇加热器的优点主要是快速加热的空气,维持一个恒定的温度及其能力相对较大的空间。相反,暖风机的缺点是有条件的,它消耗的电力和氧气燃烧,也没被用于房间湿度高。
对流散热器
对流散热器的功能原理是基于这样一个前提:寒冷的空气总是落在电网低,穿透散热器的底部。通过加热元件,空气被加热,变得更轻,上升到顶部的房间。空气的上层冷却,因此,变得更重,跌倒,一次又一次的重复循环。热空气的连续运动创造了一个舒适的温度和舒适的环境。
换流器本身由一个金属壳内置加热元件,是由一个温控器控制调节或特殊设计的计时器。它不消耗氧气,不干燥的空气,不容易受到水分,是安全的,很容易组装。
红外散热器
这种类型的散热器提供了一个相当新的加热形式,及其使用从每年获得更强大的动力。相比其他电加热器的主要区别是设备本身不房间里的空气加热,加热时通过使用一定频率的电磁波,同时保持散热器冷。红外加热器配有安全传感器将自动关闭设备在发生翻转。
油基电散热器
散热器的内部空间充满了矿物油。加热元件加热油,因为它将热量通过散热器的封面传递到周边地区。散热器内的加热元件封装,防止燃烧的氧气和小尘粒。基于石油的电暖气的直接优势源于其消防安全特性,无噪声的操作和增加流动性。最显著的缺点是散热器的外覆盖变得非常热,从而导致整个房间的热量分布不均匀。
