Oil-filled
heaters (radiators) are the most common, reliable and
popular household heaters in Russia. It would seem
that there is no room for anything new or interesting
in this appliance. But nonetheless the manufacturers
develop new technologies every year enhancing its heat
output, producing special versions for children, adding
heat ventilators and clothes driers, special sensors
and timers, changing the way of mounting (e.g. floor
or wall dual mountable type) and so on.
Infrared heaters
Only
a few years ago the words “infrared radiation” could
frighten the man in the street. Though the principle
of infrared heating is the same as that of the sun.
Infrared rays are not absorbed by air and all the energy
from an infrared heater reaches surfaces and people
to be heated loss-free. IR heaters are irreplaceable
when spot heating or heating of a limited zone is needed.
They are in demand when heating spacious rooms is economically
unreasonable and only an operator's position. Electric
IR heaters are the most common but in some cases and
areas it is more economically sound to use IR heaters
on gas or diesel fuel.
Fireplaces on gas, electricity, firewood
A
fireplace is not only a heat source but also a source
of feeling of cosiness and comfort in a home. Fireplaces
can use firewood, gas and electricity. The line of
fireplaces is not well established with traditional
climatic companies. They deal mainly in electric fireplaces
and less in gas and firewood ones.
Heat cannons
Heat
cannons are powerful fan heaters (as a rule over 3
kW). They provide economical and fast heating of rooms,
warehouses, workshops, conference halls and construction
sites. They are also used for drying and ventilation
purposes. Electric heat cannons are more common, followed
by those working on diesel fuel, gas and hot water.
Carbon and halogen heaters
Household
carbon and halogen heaters provide a directed heat
flow that heats people and things in the room. These
heaters are very efficient and consume significantly
less electric energy. They are used for heating smaller
rooms and for local heating. You can see last season's
hits and new models of carbon and halogen heaters at
the "Climate World" Exhibition.
Convectors
Convectors
are light convenient and noiseless wall mounted heaters.
It is a rectangular body made of metal with a heating
element in its lower part. Fast and noiseless heating
is achieved thanks to active thermal convection.
Household fan heaters
Household
fan heaters are used for additional heating of smaller
rooms, for example in a flat. The most commonly used
heating elements are spirals and ceramic plates.
