Convectors are the simplest and most common heating system. Economical and very easy to use, a convector is the most basic solution for heating your home.
What is a convector?
As its name suggests, a convector system is based on the principle of convection. Ambient air enters through the bottom of the device and builds heat by running up against the electric heating element. It then rises inside the unit and exits through openings on the side of the top of the unit. It works similarly to a thermal loop. Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it constantly circulates in the unit, from the bottom to the top.
Convectors are most
suitable for small, well insulated rooms. They come in many models with a wide
range of power, programming options, and styles. They are extremely simple,
small, and fast to install.
What are the benefits of a convector in your home?
Misconceptions
"Convectors dry the air."
FALSE. The
temperature in a room can increase quickly. This change can result in about 3
degrees difference in temperature between the floor and ceiling in a
high-traffic room (living rooms, dining rooms, etc.), causing an uncomfortable
feeling. Radiant panel heaters and radiators are better solutions for avoiding
this problem.
