The wall-mounted electric heater is one of the most popular models of a heating radiator. It does not take up much space, does not require complicated mounts and can easily be moved from place to place if necessary. A wide range of varieties will help to find the best option for any housing.
Types of wall-mounted electric heaters
Such heaters are an excellent alternative to a water heating system, because they have higher heat transfer rates and can be used in any living space. Wall-mounted electric heaters for homes are used in places where space needs to be saved, but it is difficult to connect or install a floor radiator. The principle of their work is based on the generation of a warm air flow or heat radiation in the form of short-wave infrared radiation. There are the following types of radiators:
- oil;
- heating fan;
- convection;
- flexible;
- fireplace;
- flat;
- ceramic;
- quartz;
- infrared;
- rolled.
Electric heaters, electric, wall
The simplest version of the device is a radiator, consisting of the following elements: a thermostat, a heating element (TEN), a casing with ribs for air circulation and a control unit. As an electrical converter, the wall heater becomes hot - and begins to give off heat through the air. The warm air rises, and the cooled streams go down to again, after a while, go through this cycle. Radiators with a similar system have at least three advantages:
- Quickly stabilize the temperature of the apartment or villa to a comfortable level.
- They do not weigh very much and are easy to install.
- Do not assume complex rules of operation and installation.
Wall-mounted flexible electric heater
Film heaters are infrared devices created using modern technologies. It is based on carbon fibers, resistant to high air humidity. The only condition that is required for the normal operation of a wall-mounted electric energy-saving heater of this type is that the ambient temperature should not be below minus 40 ° C. Experts believe that among the best of their qualities can be called:
- The performance - a wall-mounted electric heater of this kind almost immediately heats up and begins to give off heat.
- Safety - the heating element is covered with a film with special characteristics: it is heat-resistant and isolates electricity, ensuring uniform heating of the surface. Even when touched by the canvas itself, it is impossible to get burned. The device can be made safe for children by placing it at the correct height.
Wall mounted electric fireplace
In most modern homes, a classic source of open fire will be out of place. Electric fireplace fireplaces with the effect of living fire are often called "cabinet". They are easy to install: with the help of special fasteners the device is mounted in any portal in the wall. The most advantageous they look in such varieties of interior as:
- classic;
- Art Nouveau;
- high tech;
- Provence;
- loft.
Heater flat wall mounted electric
If the room is heavily furniture or the children live in the room, it is better to abandon the models that are installed on the floor. The wall-mounted electric heater in the form of a picture looks more original than the oil cooler . The decorative panel with the image put on it hides under itself carbonaceous fiber threads which warm up a premise. In comparison with other types of heaters, it saves energy costs by 40-70%. The main advantage of this device can be called absolute noiselessness.
Wall-mounted electric ceramic heater
Plates made of natural materials do not dry air and do not release toxic substances when heated. These types of wall-mounted electric heaters are a ceramic plate that operates on the principle of natural convection and the emission of soft shortwave waves. Varieties of such heaters differ in power and wavelength depending on the heated area:
- from 5 to 50 microns - for small rooms;
- up to 95 microns - for medium rooms;
- up to 560 microns - for country houses.
Quartz heaters, wall mounted
Such heaters are called monolithic - they look like a cast plate. In its core is a chromium-nickel spiral, which is protected by a shell made of quartz sand and a reinforcing frame. Wall mounted electric heaters for this type of house intensively emit heat in the infrared range, in parallel providing convective heating of the room. The quartz heater has three significant disadvantages:
- relatively high cost;
- absence of a heating regulator;
- Controversial appearance and considerable weight.
Infrared heater electric wall
The method of their operation is based on the directional emission of IR rays onto interior objects, thereby heating them, not air. This method is considered more efficient than such types of wall-mounted electric heaters as oil radiators and fireplace convectors. The reason for this can be called at once three aspects:
- High efficiency due to the direct transfer of thermal energy to the furnishings.
- The ability to focus the flow of heat.
- Portable models mobility.
Wall-mounted electric heater
Film convectors can be not only external, but also internal. Then they have the form of an infrared canvas, which can be insulated when installing not only the walls, but also the ceiling. Wall mounted electric heaters for home are installed in three stages:
- Application of a reflective screen with carbon filaments. Suitable material with a foil layer, fixed by metal clips.
- Attaching heating films: you can find special transparent stripes at the edges of each specimen.
- Create a wiring diagram. The trunk line must be isolated and hidden from the eyes.
Wall heaters - electric convectors
From the oil radiators they are distinguished by the shape of the hull - it is smoother. In it you can find a room thermostat and a convection chamber. If you compare the most popular types of wall-mounted electric heaters, convectors will take one of the first places in the rating. From oil-type heaters they are distinguished by such advantages as:
- Versatility of fastening. Virtually all models are equipped with both side hooks and wheels for movement.
- Modern heater wall-mounted electric convector type minimally burns air, does not heat nearby objects, and thermal radiation can be seen only if it is close to the front panel.
- Since the operation of the device is based on the natural movement of air masses, it does not make noise and does not create an increased fire hazard.
Wall-mounted electric heater with fan
It was created to replace the heat guns, which burned the air and had a primitive operating principle. Fans with hot airflow are wall-mounted electric heaters for the house, able to quickly raise and stabilize the temperature in a residential area. They have several of their features:
- Inside the case there are two spirals and a whole system of ribs for effective heat exchange. Passing through them, the injected air quickly turns into a warm stream.
- With its help, you can dry up a number of weighing things, and also - to regulate the humidity in the room.
Wall-mounted electric heater with thermostat
Equipped with a heating level adjustment function, it is possible to maintain a minimum room temperature with little energy consumption. Fan heaters and convectors with such functions are almost not common: most models of wall-mounted electric heaters with thermostat are oil or infrared. Technically, they are divided into two types:
- With external thermostat . These are external devices with a microprocessor that measure the temperature of the air in the housing. They can be purchased separately from the heater itself.
- With internal regulator . More expensive heaters are equipped with thermoregulating sensors of thermomechanical or programmable type. The most innovative are able to set a complex heating program, designed for several days and even weeks.
