What are ceramic heaters, types and advantages

Ceramic heaters are a modern type of heaters that have an aesthetic appearance and excellent heating capacity. At the same time, they are more economical compared to their predecessors, oil heaters.

We produce two types of ceramic heaters: ceramic convectors, infrared panels and ceramic heated towel rails

How it works.

The heating element, hidden in the body, heats up and warms up the ceramic plate, raising the room temperature through convection currents. In turn, the heated ceramic plate emits heat waves (infrared radiation), transferring energy to objects around it in the form of electromagnetic waves, heats them, and the objects give off heat to the air in the room.

What to pay attention to.

When choosing a ceramic heater, it is worth choosing models using natural ceramics, because it has been proven that when heated, the ceramic plate emits infrared radiation that is beneficial for the body. And also the presence of a built-in thermostat, which will allow you to automatically maintain the temperature.

Where to use, how to place.

Thanks to the aesthetic design, ceramic heaters will suit any interior, both an apartment and an office.

Ceramic infrared panels are equipped with wall mounts, convenient and easy to install. You can install it yourself. To do this, simply drill a few holes in the wall and use the parts from the installation kit.

It is worth considering the presence of a socket at a distance of no more than 1.5 m to avoid using extension cords. It is recommended to place the ceramic heater at a distance of 15 cm from the floor. This will ensure the best use of convection flows and the fastest possible heating of the room.

The advantage of ceramic heaters is that you will feel the effect of its operation sooner than from convection heaters of another type (for example, oil models), since infrared radiation heats objects in the room and gives off heat to the air even before the full cycle of convection heat transfer.

What are convection ceramic heaters?

The uniqueness of ceramic convectors is that 2 methods of heat transfer are involved: natural convection and thermal infrared radiation.

In order to understand the principle of operation of convection heaters, it is enough to know what the phenomenon of convection is.

Convection is a type of heat exchange, the internal energy of which is distributed in streams and flows. Convection can be natural and forced. Natural convection occurs spontaneously during the heating of a substance, when warm air rises upward, because it becomes lighter, and cold air descends, after which the process is repeated cyclically. Forced convection requires the additional influence of external forces (fan blades, pump).

According to this principle, convection heaters provide uniform heating of the air throughout the room. In order to heat the room, the convection heater directs convection currents throughout the entire body of the heater and through the heating element: an electric coil, oil or electric wire. This process heats the air inside the heater, which rises layer by layer until it fills the entire room. Convection heaters should be placed as close to the floor as possible, because cold air is heavier than warm air and will always descend.

The market offers models of these types with both natural and forced convection. Forced convection will provide a faster effect, but it is not recommended to use it constantly, since this will dry out the air in the room.

Convection heaters with natural convection are suitable for long-term use in residential premises, since they are safe, effective and quite economical.
