20 best convectors

Heating of housing, offices and industrial premises is a pressing issue in Russia in the winter. In some cases, the convector can be an indispensable device. The device got its name from the physical process of convection. It refers to the transfer of thermal energy in space. Heating equipment solves problems not of a universal scale, but problems of a separate house or a single room. What are the requirements imposed on domestic convectors by domestic experts?

How to choose a convector

1. Convector type. The trading network implements several types of convectors. Some of them feed on electricity, others convert hydrocarbon raw materials into heat, and still others effectively use hot water for heating. Electric and gas models are considered the most independent.
2. Power. This indicator of a heater most often interests buyers. But it is important to consider the area of ​​the room, the possibilities of electrical wiring, the consumption of gas or electricity by the device. Experts recommend repelling the selection of a simple formula. On heating 1 square. m of housing requires 100 watts of thermal energy. Therefore, for a room of 10 square meters. m is quite enough convector power of 1 kW. But this is an approximate calculation, it does not take into account the level of insulation of the house, the thickness of the walls, the presence of drafts (in the case of a warehouse or office). When conditions deteriorate, add another 50 watts of energy per square meter.
3. Type of room. The air temperature in different rooms is very different. Children's and bedrooms are considered the warmest, where many Russians would like to set the temperature at 24-28 ° C. In a room of 10 square meters. m will work effectively convector, which is designed for premises 13-15 square meters. In offices, workers will feel comfortable if the air temperature fluctuates between 20-22 ° C. In this case, a less powerful heater is required than is required for a theoretical calculation. But in the living room is best to buy a device, in which the maximum heating area corresponds to the size of the real room. It is more difficult to give advice if the convector is bought as an additional source of heat. In this case, it all depends on the possibilities of centralized heating.
4. Type of attachment. Most convectors are mounted on a wall or floor. Each of them has its advantages. So wall mounting allows to save the useful area of ​​the room and makes the device as safe as possible for a person. This is true when heating children's rooms, bath or kitchen. The floor heater is convenient for its maneuverability. With wheels, even children and old people can easily drag a heater to another room.
5. Thermostat. To maintain a given level of heating, thermostats are installed in the convectors. There are two main types: mechanical and electronic. Many users consider the mechanics an obsolete option, but it is simple, reliable and cheaper.The user needs to manually set the regulator to a certain position, and the device will operate at a given limit. An electronic device works more accurately. It is suitable in cases where each degree plays an important role (pharmacies, winter gardens, warehouses).
6. Security. When choosing a convector should not forget about security. Both electric and gas models carry a certain threat to human health and life. Although electrical appliances are considered safer, but high power can adversely affect old wiring. Such options as protection against overheating, overturning, short circuits and moisture will not be superfluous. Gas models also carry the threat of poisoning by combustion products. All joints must be sealed to prevent the explosion of an air-gas mixture. Therefore, ventilation and chimney should have a reserve capacity.

We have selected in our review of the top 20 convectors. All of them received approval from the expert community and domestic consumers.
