Bath towel warmer - a popular solution
When driving to new buildings, young families or lucky ones in the bathroom usually find a standard coil cut into the hot water pipe. Here it is just a water towel for the bathroom, with their own hands, such a system, however, is rather difficult to set up, if pipes are not prepared. The use of this design is considerable, it, passing through itself hot water, emits a certain amount of heat due to the turns of .The latter are usually few, 3-4.However, if you want, you can always make a replacement, while trying to choose models that have a jumper with two ball valves.
Although such an additional element as a jumper, and is not integral with the dryer, but is an integral part of it, and, very important. When suddenly there is a need for repair or replacement of the coil, it is enough to turn both cranes to another position( only half a turn).Then the water will run along the lintel, and the replacement of the heated towel rail in the bathroom will be done without any problems. If desired, such a system can be embedded in the heating risers in the living rooms, which will provide an additional source of heat and a place where you can hang clothes to dry.
How to choose an electric heated towel rail in the bathroom?
If the DHW communications do not include a coil, and you do not want to violate the integrity of the risers, you can install an electric towel heater in the bathroom. In this case, you will be absolutely independent of the water supply, and several designs can be hung on the walls. The only limitation is that these systems can not be mounted closer than 60 centimeters from a bath, sink, bidet or toilet .It is also necessary to ground, which is also not always convenient, if the bathroom is not a washing machine and other electrical appliances.
On the other hand, dryers of this kind are much better poured into the design of the room, because they do not need pipes. Necessary for the operation of the systems of the wire can be laid directly through the wall to the point of connection with the device, which means that it will not be visible. If you need to carry the towel in the bathroom, you can do it in a matter of hours, preparing a new place and fixing on it a coil previously removed from the wall. With all these advantages, energy costs are not at all a drawback, they are relatively small, approximately like a light bulb.
What are the benefits of combined bathroom towel warmers?
Those who do not have such systems, may well be wondering if a bathroom towel dryer is needed. Even if you are not going to use it for the intended purpose, an additional source of heat in the room will not be superfluous, especially where there is a lot of dampness. But, taking into account that for the period of preventive works in the run-up to the winter period, the water in the DHW pipes disappears, and you do not want to constantly supply the dryer with electricity, you can use the complex option. This may not necessarily be a serpentine, in general, the towel rails for the bathroom take different forms: "ladder", "wave", round or arch designs.
Dryers made of brass, copper, stainless steel or black steel are made, the latter option is usually chrome plated to increase the corrosion protection, which, however, does not protect against scale.
With high humidity in the bathroom it does not hurt that not only in winter, but also in summer the room was dry enough. And, in order not to choose which towel warmer, water or electric, you can put a "two in one" option on the wall. That is, in addition to the fact that water will circulate through the pipes of the dryer, there was also a place inside the electric heating element, which, if the coil is connected to the heating system, will work in the summer. And during periods of particularly high temperatures on the street, the power of the dryer can be simply turned off.
