Water radiators
There are quite a few types of water radiators:
- Column radiators. This type of radiator is a heater in which the horizontal collector is connected by vertical pipes in which the coolant circulates. Cast-iron radiators are the most ancient devices of this type, which were met to everyone at least once in a lifetime.
- Sectional radiators. This type of radiator in appearance is very similar to columnar, because they have a sectional structure. The difference is in the specifics of the work, which consists in the fact that cold air gets between the sections and rises upwards.
- Panel heaters. This kind of heating devices is a monolithic unit. The panel device for heating has a high heat dissipation.
Calculation of the heatsink power is based on several parameters. They include the area of the room, the power of the radiator and the presence of windows. If necessary, it is possible to add or remove sections from the heater.
Water radiators must be installed under the windows. This is characterized by those indicators that the ascending warm air streams should overlap the low temperature air that comes from the windows. This arrangement will ensure proper air circulation and provide comfort for all residents of the apartment.
Convectors
Convector heating devices are such kind of heating devices in which the room heating is carried out by convection method. The convection process can be natural and forced. This factor affects the price of the convector heater.
The use of underfloor convection heaters is widespread. Such kind of heating devices is used in premises with a large area of glazing.
Infrared heating devices
This kind of heating devices is significantly different from the classical ones in the principle of its operation. The principle of operation of conventional devices for heating is the heating of air in the room and its subsequent circulation. But this kind of heating devices uses infrared radiation, which is directed to the object directly heating it.
The advantages of such devices are those indicators that they do not dry the air in the room and do not affect the amount of oxygen in it.
heat guns Such equipment refers to non-residential heaters. This kind of devices for repair and construction works is used. Thermal guns can work both from gasoline and from electricity. Usually this equipment is used to dry rooms after repair or when installing tension ceilings.
Thus, the article described and described the main indicators of modern heating appliances, as well as the scope of their application and the specifics of installation and use.
