Oil radiators

Electric oil radiators, oil radiators, or just for today are one of the most common and popular way of additional heating of apartments and offices. Such a device would be enough to fully heat the room up to 25 m2. Devices have the largest area of ??the heating element, which provides good heat transfer into the room. Unfortunately, they're pretty long reach operating temperature, but due to the fact that their body is not heated too much - up to 80-1000 ° C, oil heaters are among the most fireproof heating boiler. The main advantage of oil coolers is that they do not burn no oxygen, no dust, one way or another in the air. Well and that, in contrast to the simplest convectors, they have two or even three levels of power that allows you to adjust their heat output depending on the size of the room. Also, most modern oil coolers fitted with a thermostat, which allows you to maintain the desired temperature up to 10 ° C. This provides not only comfort but also power savings, since the device is switched on only when the temperature drops below a predetermined level. With the timer on and off, which is equipped with most models, you can, leave the radiator switched on when leaving the house even for a day. The oil heater is a device the so-called combined type, ie heat transfer is due to convection inside the oil cooler and the thermal efficiency - due to convection of air in the room and radiation heated surface of the body. It is a hermetically sealed metal container, its shape reminiscent of central heating radiators filled with mineral oil. Placed inside the tank heaters - heating elements, located at the bottom of the hull and completely submerged in oil. Heating elements are heated and transfer their heat oil. Recently, circulating in the body raises its temperature. In this case, it radiates heat, warming the air passing between the sections. Warm stream is mixed with cold, present in the room, there is convection, and therefore this principle is called heating and convector. Fundamentally, the design of the oil heaters is not changed for many years. But there are many extras that distinguish one model from another oil cooler. Virtually all modern radiators are equipped with a thermostat, a smooth temperature control, a system of thermal protection, LED indication, as well as two-or three-position switch mode. This switch allows you to choose from several degrees of power, each of which corresponds to a heater. This allows us to achieve the optimum temperature in a room together and save electricity. Typically, thermostats, which are equipped with oil heaters, measure the oil temperature inside the radiator. Therefore, to regulate the air temperature in the room you have to manually although manufacture expensive models of heaters, where installed adjustable room thermostat. Some radiators are equipped with 24-hour timer that lets you program on / off the radiator for some time. If during the oil radiator is constantly felt dry air, you should pay attention to models with a humidifier - a small removable reservoir to be topped up with water. With this type of heater, the water evaporates, moistening the air. Radiators with a humidifier producing virtually all the firms producers of radiators. Typically, this function has virtually no effect on the price of the device. As mentioned above the main shortcoming of the oil cooler can be considered its long warm up to operating temperature. Often, it ranges from 20 to 30 minutes. Yes, and the transfer of heat from the radiator just by mixing of air masses - a process long enough. Partially compensate for the inertia may be oil heaters with built-in fan heater. After the inclusion of such a radiator fan heater immediately starts sounding warm air, while the heating elements heat the oil. The disadvantages of such oil heaters should be attributed to the high cost and infrequent failure of the fans. To speed up the removal of hot air, with some models oil coolers mounted a special guard, unlocked the bottom and holes at the top. Channels between the surface casing and fins provide additional thrust, like a chimney. This can speed up distribution of warm air almost doubled. A general lack of Oil Heater - weight gain and complicated removal of dust from the sections. Among household heaters, oil heaters are the most impressive weight and size. Height - 50-70cm. Width - 30-50cm. Weight - 10-30kg. To compensate for such a respectable size, most models are equipped with wheels and comfortable handles for carrying or rolling the oil cooler from room to room. Choose the most suitable for your home oil heater is not too difficult. The main thing to determine how powerful the device you need. Assumed that for every 10 m2 (at the height of ceilings and 3 m) requires 1 kW of power. True, if the room is two windows or one of the walls - exterior, the heat rate increase by 0.2 kW. As a result, to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature area of ??20-25 m2 need 2-2,5 kW. In fact, it may be even less if you intend to use the instrument is not as basic as the role of auxiliary heating. You should also take into account the number of sections in the design: the more of them, the faster and larger area covered heating. The ideal number - seven or nine. Before purchasing, note some additional features oil cooler, they may have. Often oily radiator supply opportunity turbocharging - a small fan, which quickly mixes air into the room, evenly distributing heat. Thus, after the heating is much faster. For these purposes, some manufacturers include in the design of the heat gun, which creates an instant release of hot air. Mechanical 24 hour on / off timer lets you program the heater to a specific mode of operation. Some "smart" model in the mode to maintain the desired temperature can automatically determine when to turn on and when switched off, thus preserving one selected temperature in the room. Usually attached to expensive Model of oil radiators electronic control panel helps to program once all the functions of the radiator, install the so-called sleep mode in models equipped with a fan. In this case, the device automatically switches to a mild heating of the room, reducing the temperature a couple degrees, but after some time off on their own. Built-in humidifier prevents overdrying air in the house when the heater is working at maximum capacity, protecting not only the hosts, but indoor plants, pets, too, suffer from too dry air. And finally, the included towel to quickly dry the little thing: children's socks, mittens, wet towels, etc. Finally, a few tips on operating oil coolers. Always be careful that the heater is in an upright position. If you still have to transport or store oil cooler in a horizontal position, one should not immediately incorporate it into the net. Set the device to its normal position, and within half an hour let the oil drain into the bottom of the tank to completely cover the heating elements. Doing so may yield an oil heater failure. Always remember that the effective operation of the oil cooler is only possible in the case of providing free air. You should not cover his clothes as the temperature under it rises rapidly and triggered the safety thermostat, turning off the device, while the room is not yet time to warm up. Still less can dry wet clothes on it, if the heater is not equipped with special devices. Most manufacturers do not recommend to place it directly under the electrical socket.
