Heating devices and convectors

Heating appliances

Heating appliances are electrical devices that emit heat and maintain or increase the temperature in a given room.

Types of heating appliances

Depending on the type, mode of operation and volume of the room, heating appliances are divided into several types.

• heating;
• convectors;
• radiators;

Heating

Heating appliances are electrical appliances equipped with a heater that emits heat and warms the air. They emit a large amount of heat per unit time and are suitable for rooms that need a permanent and high temperature. Their disadvantage is that the electric heater uses a large amount of electricity.

Convectors

Convectors or fan electric appliances use the process of convection, which is the movement of warm and cold air. The convection process is an exchange in which warm air rises because it is lighter, and cold air falls because it is heavier. Convectors use an electric heater and a fan, they heat the room more slowly, but it is more durable because all the air is rotated. They are also extremely economical.

Radiators

Another type of heating appliance is the radiator. They are devices filled with a liquid, water or oil, which is heated. Unlike other heating devices, they are efficient and economical and radiate heat for a much longer time even after they are turned off.
