Electric radiators

As we know heat is one of the most costly components of engineering a country house. For low-rise, detached buildings, tend to use only self-contained heating system. There are three types of systems: - Traditionally, when a liquid coolant is heated, and then, passing along the pipeline system and radiator gives off heat for room heating - direct electric heating, when heating the room is carried out without coolant, and electrical energy is directly converted into heat - the air heating, when used as a coolant air supply after heating in a heated room for the duct system. Until recently it was considered an expensive electric heating, fire and environmental "harmful". However, progress in the field of heaters and thermostats, improving cable underfloor heating and the creation of infra-red ceiling heaters have radically changed the performance of direct electrical heating. Today it is the most environmentally friendly heating system, which has low capital costs, requires no maintenance. In this case, thanks to modern thermostats save for country houses can be more than 50%. A distinctive feature of a stationary electric heating equipment is the ability to work to maintain the desired temperature for a long time without human observation, retaining all the features for fire and environmental safety. Direct stationary electric heating can be divided into four groups: wall heaters, ceiling longwave infrared heaters, cable and film systems for heating the floor and ceiling, as well as regulating thermostats, and programmable devices. Heaters is a device in a protective, decorative metal casing, which has two groups of openings: at the bottom for entry of cold air from above, to exit the hot air. Inside there is a tubular heating element (heater), a prisoner, as a rule, ceramics and premises in a steel pipe with a radiator. Convector is placed on a special frame, which is four screws attached to the wall. A sensor turns off the power during the heating of air near the PETN above 100-120 ° C. Protective decorative building is not heated above 70 ° C and is safe even for children. As a rule, modern coil protected against splashing water, have a 2-grade security, easy to mount on any surface interior decoration. Manufacturers produce a wide range of convectors in the power range of 500-3000 watts and a weight 2,8-9,2 kg. In the long-wave infrared heaters, ceiling heating element inside the device transfers heat to the surface of special materials that provide an intense infrared radiation. The opposite side has a heat-insulating layer and the attachment system to the ceiling. For dwellings with ceilings 2,4-3,2 m using low-temperature devices power 600-850 W, with a temperature of the radiating surface of 70-100 ° C. For rooms with high ceilings (3,5-10 m) use high-temperature devices with a surface temperature of 300-900 ° C. Used for heating the thermal infrared range of frequencies is harmless to humans, it creates a nice warm the surface of objects and eliminates the convection currents, providing uniform heating of the dwelling. Heating cable for floor heating in today's day is well known in Russia as regards film heating materials until they are all that uncommon. The basis of the latter is the polyester film thickness of 100 microns, which caused heating graphite conductor. These films can be mounted in the ceiling and the floor under the parquet and laminated board. Controls direct stationary electric heating allow for individual adjustment of thermal conditions in each room. They allow programming of temperature, taking into account the schedule of real demand for heating. After a temporary shutdown heating begins to operate without human intervention. Commissioning of the equipment can be implemented in phases and completed, in many cases, themselves. Capital equipment costs are the lowest, and the performance depend significantly on the mode of operation at home and, in some cases, are less than heating with gas boiler. Next, consider the use of electrical heating in a country house. Thus, for the hall, corridors and staircases make better use of heaters - the most inexpensive and simple equipment to be mounted. In the bathroom, toilet, sauna and kitchen can accommodate Waterproof convectors or underfloor heating (and can be both simultaneously). For bedrooms and nurseries should be fine long-wavelength infrared ceiling heaters, which are simultaneously warm the floor, the carpet on it, and bed. But in living rooms and dining rooms combine a better coil and infrared panel. This allows you to create zones of increased thermal comfort. If there is a "winter garden" or something similar, then such facilities are best installed infrared heaters, which create a natural microclimate for plants and save energy. In cases where the home is found freezing, soaking or wetting the walls, then get help from all of the same infrared heaters that transfer heat efficiently subjects other heating equipment. They are also suitable for heating the glass surfaces (windows, stained glass) to protect them from ice and snow. In detached low-rise buildings is difficult to ensure a comfortable warmth on the first floor. When unheated basement floor of the first floor will be cold (16-17 ° C) even at fairly high temperature in the room (air temperature difference between floor and ceiling may be more than 8 ° C). Address this shortcoming can only be through "floor heating (heating cable) or infrared heaters in combination with good insulation. In a small country house, tend to set the heating furnace. At a median strip is still the most economical heating equipment. However, it has several drawbacks. One of them - space heating only the area around the stove. Other separate rooms (bedroom, bathroom, closet, hallway, etc.) require additional heating. Next lack stove heating - large fluctuations in temperature in a heated room during the day (sometimes up to 10 ° C). The third major flaw in it - always cold floor. All these drawbacks are eliminated electric heating. To stabilize the temperature of the room with the stove and protection from freezing when the oven is not fired, the required power can be reduced by a factor of 2. Cold floor will disappear when mounted on the ceiling of infrared heaters. For houses with a traditional heating with gas and liquid fuel boilers there is a substantial likelihood of triggering protective automation as a result of a temporary power failure, low gas pressure, breakdown of a pump or fan, etc. - this will disable the entire heating system. If you can not quickly solve the problem, or you are currently absent, the stationary electric heating will provide you with backup heating system in critical areas to activate the main heating system. Typically, this is a toilet, bathroom, kitchen - that is, those areas where there are water slide, freezing which can lead to emergency situations. In this case the electric heating installed in the minimum mode is disabled when operating the main system. Power heaters can be reduced by 2-2,5 times against the settlement. The additional cost of such redundancy compared to the main heating system will be 3-5%, while operating costs are absent. Another possible use of convectors in the cottages is heating remote areas where lead pipes irrationally, as well as in bathrooms and showers for the rapid temporary rise in temperature. All types of heating, except electric, in one way or another polluting. The combustion of gas in boilers, some of formed liquid condensate, the burning of diesel and gas are produced all sorts of toxic chemicals that through the chimneys are ejected into the atmosphere. When using solid fuel polluted area in storage, preparation and loading, the smoke from the chimney and soot are also not conducive to cleanliness. Possible leakage of gas or diesel fuel, coal dust adversely affect the respiratory organs of humans. Leakage of poisonous anti-freeze is dangerous to human health and damaging the building. Most of the systems to run the necessary human presence. Cooled house facing many troubles. Can freeze drain siphons sinks and baths may crack the toilet, a hot water system might freeze in and out and building water loop, etc. The modern stationary direct electric heating environmentally safe. Heating elements for premises have a working temperature of 40-150 ° C, it hardly changes the humidity, dust does not burn, does not emit harmful substances, equipment, works silently. Electromagnetic radiation are at background level and below, many household appliances. When using modern automatic protection against short circuits and overloads, as well as circuit breaker current leakage, the probability of fire or electric shock is close to zero. Improved insulation of buildings town houses almost twice as great opportunities for saving and rational use of energy makes a stationary electric heating in a serious competitor to traditional heating with gas boilers, providing unique opportunities for environmental and safety. Especially justified stationary electric heating is small summer cottages with a total area of ??up to 100 m2, in which heating is required only in spring and autumn.
