With the onset of cold weather, there is no issue more urgent than the issue of keeping heat in homes, apartments and offices. Year after year all records of popularity were beaten by reliable and comfortable oil coolers . But recently they were confidently pressed by wall infrared heaters, which, among other things, are distinguished by an unusual design. It is about this type of climate technology that will be discussed in our review.
Wall infrared heaters for home - the principle of operation
The basis of the work of infrared heaters is the principle of thermal action of the rays of the infrared range, heating all objects falling into the zone of their action. The objects heated in this way give heat to the environment, and the air in the entire room is gradually heated. Wall infrared heaters can be used as a primary or additional source of heat. They were especially popular for heating individual parts of the premises or open areas, as well as bathrooms, garages, workshops, etc.
Wall mounted electric infrared heaters
The most popular for home use are electric infrared heaters. There are many models with different power values (from 0.3 to 6 kW), which allows you to choose a heater for rooms of different sizes. Along with ease of installation and low power consumption, such heaters attract consumers and a variety of design solutions. Especially popular are infrared wall-mounted film heaters-paintings or panels.
Wall-mounted film infrared heater-painting
If you want to combine business with pleasure, then a film heater-picture or panel is exactly what you need. Perfectly fitting into any interior, light and compact, until a certain point it does not give out its direct purpose - to heat the room. But even with this task he copes perfectly - he gives warmth, without burning oxygen and not drying the air. The weight of this heater is less than 1 kg, and the protection class allows it to be used in even wet and damp rooms. Outwardly it looks like a small (100x60 cm) rug-panel made of lavsan film, between the layers of which a flexible heating element is hidden.
Wall infrared heaters with thermostat
The principle of operation of infrared heaters makes it possible to regulate the temperature of the heating, depending on the data represented by the temperature sensor through the air. Because of the mounting features, the wall models of infra-red heaters are not equipped with a built-in thermostat, but users have the opportunity to purchase it separately. Depending on the needs of users, remote thermostats are equipped with many additional functions: timer, programmer, switch and remote control. The determining factor in choosing a remote thermostat is the maximum permissible load, expressed in the current strength.
Energy-saving wall infrared heaters
Speaking of wall-mounted infrared heaters, it's impossible not to mention such a parameter as the energy saving level. In comparison with oil counterparts, wall infrared heaters consume 20-30% less electricity. Directed action of such heaters allows in a short time to bring the temperature to a comfortable level in a separate part of the room without heating the whole house or office. Leaving the room the heating level can be reduced, which also saves costs for paying bills for electricity.
