What to choose for your home and cottage?

At first glance, there is nothing difficult about buying a convector: it is enough to choose a device that is suitable in terms of power and price.

But there are other important parameters for the selection:

1. The area of the room. Usually the packaging of the device indicates what area it is able to heat. But it should be taken into account that this information shows what area the convector can heat if it is the only source of heating. Accordingly, if there are radiators in the apartment, it does not make sense to buy too powerful device.
2. Method of attachment. This criterion plays an important role if you want the convector to fit harmoniously into the design of the room. Wall-mounted devices are more suitable for kitchens and children's rooms, but the most universal are considered floor convectors, because such devices can be freely transferred from one room to another. There are also recessed models that are mounted in the floor or window sill.
3. Dimensions and weight. It is important that the heater does not interfere with the free movement around the room, so the dimensions of the device should correspond to the area of the room. Weight plays an important role only if the convector is planned to move often.

Types of convectors and their brief description

In addition to the method of attachment, 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, because the device must necessarily be connected to the chimney. But this convector can serve as the main source of heating, though it will have to be installed in each room.
2. Electric. The most common type of convectors, because they are suitable for private houses, and for apartments. In modern models, the control of the remote control is provided, and in most devices there is protection against overheating. The room is heated quickly enough by such devices, but devices with higher power consume a lot of electricity.
3. Water. Inside such a device there is a liquid coolant, which heats the air in the room. Typically, such devices are built into the floor or window sill in office buildings, shopping centers or other large rooms.

Operating principle of the convector

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

Unlike other types of heaters, the convector heats not only the space around it, but the entire air in the room..

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

Some of them allow the cold air to get inside, and the heated streams are blown out through other holes. Such a circulation and provides uniform heating of the entire room.

Pros and cons of convectors

Convector has numerous advantages, in comparison with other heating devices.

The main advantages of the devices include:

• Fast heat-up: the air starts to warm up in only 60 seconds after the device is switched on;
• Uniform distribution of heat in the room;
• Preservation of the optimal microclimate, as the device only warms up, but does not dry out the air in the room;
• Convector is very easy to install and use, because most devices do not require connection to any systems.

The disadvantages of these heating devices are not so many. First of all, it should be taken into account that powerful and productive devices are expensive.

Convector or oil heater - which is better?

Many users have doubts about which heater is better to buy, convector or oil heater.

If we talk in general, the principle of heating the air they have the same, the air in the room they warm up a little differently.

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

But they are characterized by a simpler design, so the breakdown of the device is almost completely excluded.

Convector or radiator heating - which is better?

It is not quite correct to compare convectors and stationary heating radiators.

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

Radiator heating - this is the usual radiator, which is connected to a centralized or individual heating system.

All radiators are connected in a single network and heat the building continuously and with minimal user participation.

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 the rooms.

Convector or infrared heater - which is better?

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

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

But at the same time they heat the air locally. That is, if the user goes out of the range of the heater, the heat will not feel.

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

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

Electric boiler or convector - what to choose?

The principle of operation of the convector and electric boiler is very different, so it is not quite right to determine which of these devices is better.

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

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

Convector is a more mobile device.

Floor models, which work from a fixed electrical network, 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 on again.
