Economical heaters for home and garden
Modern trends in the development of technologies in the field of heating devices are aimed at the development and implementation of economic and efficient models. The main goal is to create economic heaters for the home.
Saving energy resources has long been a hot topic when choosing heating household appliances. Very often, before buying, a person is interested in the characteristics of the device and the point of consumption of energy carriers. Accordingly, attention is focused on the point of heat transfer with economical consumption.
Many manufacturers try to concentrate all the wishes of the consumer in their designs. The constant search for optimal solutions results in economical heaters.
Overview of economical heaters
Even with the appearance of the first cold weather and the approach of winter, many homeowners and summer residents begin to search for optimal heaters.
On sale, today, you can find a wide range of economical electric heaters:
- Infrared heater ;
- Inverter heater (air conditioner);
- Electric convector;
- Micathermic heater;
- Ceramic panel.
Infrared heater. This is one of the types of economical heater that replaced the many consumed oil coolers
The heating element is a quartz emitter, with the help of which the nearest objects are heated, not air. It is effective only for temporary and operational heating of the room, as well as for creating a local zone of directed radiation in the room.
Thermal comfort dries up outside the range of infrared radiation.
Most often they are installed on legs, but there are options for installation on the ceiling. They can also be used outdoors. The most popular infrared heaters are UFO, Runwin, Saturn, Beko, Eko.
For space heating up to 20 m2 about 120 minutes is enough. Electricity consumption -90 W / m2... Depending on the size, the time for heating the room will be significantly reduced.
Inverter heater (air conditioner). An inverter-type heating device also takes part in deciding which heater is more economical. This is one of the modern and recent developments that went on sale and immediately attracted the attention of summer residents.
It consists of an outdoor and indoor unit. The principle of operation is based on the functions of the heat pump. This heating method is very different from the classic heater.
The pump draws in warm air from outside to inside the room through a heat exchanger, even at subzero outdoor temperatures. For this, a special gas is used - freon. It condenses under high pressure in a heat exchanger in the indoor unit, warming up to 800C. Then the liquid freon returns to the outdoor unit, where it turns back into a gaseous state at low pressure. After boiling it in the outdoor unit, freon flows again to the heat exchanger of the indoor unit. This process, in nature, does not occur anywhere, but scientists have worked for a long time to create a unique technology.
By carrying out such fluctuations, electricity consumption is reduced to 2-5 kW / h, depending on the type of model. Thanks to this, inverter air conditioners are able to heat large houses. Room in 20 m2 they are able to heat up in 3-4 hours.The most popular models are LG, Samsung, Dekker, Daikin.
Electric convector. When reviewing economical heaters, you should focus on such a simple and reliable type as an electric convector. If we consider the principle of operation of the convector, it is a bit like the operation of an oil cooler. But, unlike him, the convector can be left unattended for a long time.
The room is heated by circulating air through a heating element inside the convector. Circulation occurs due to the heating of cold air, which rises upward, cooling down, it returns downward and the heating process takes place again.
The most reliable and economical devices are Atlantic convectors (France). The manufacturer offers heating devices with a capacity of 0.5 to 2.5 kW. For heating a room of 20 m2 it will be enough to purchase a model with an electricity consumption of 2 kW / h. It takes about 4 hours to heat such a room.
Micathermic heater. One of the most efficient and economical heaters. They appeared on the market relatively recently. This is the latest technological development that was previously used in medical institutions and in the field of astronautics. They are very compact and can be wall or ceiling mounted.
Based on long-wave infrared radiation. This appliance has several non-metallic plates covered with mica. Due to this, the heating efficiency is very high. They are able to heat even distant objects, while the heater itself remains cold. The only drawback is its price, which is much higher than that of its counterparts.
The most reliable representative of micathermic heaters is the Polaris trademark. 1.8 kW of power per hour is enough to heat a room of 20 m2.
Ceramic panel. This is the most economical heater at the moment. The principle of operation is based on infrared long-wave radiation. The heater looks like a ceramic panel (plate). The infrared heating panel is housed in an energy-saving and heat-conducting steel box. Thanks to this design of the body, the heater will fit into the interior of any room or room. It can be hung either on the wall or on the ceiling.
The ceramic panel consumes from 0.2 to 2.5 kW / h, depending on the size. To heat a room of 20 m2, you need 1 kW of electricity per hour. Full heating of the room can be achieved in 1.5 - 2 hours.
The most economical electric heaters
According to a review of economical electric heaters, the ceramic panel and micathermic heater proved to be the most economical, ergonomic, efficient and durable. By purchasing such heaters, you can be sure of a 100% result.
If we define the absolute leader, the ceramic panel gets the “palm”. Its characteristics speak for themselves, and outperform the nearest competitor, the micathermal panel infrared heater.
The most prominent representatives of ceramic heating panels are:
- NTK Malysh (0.25 kW), Eco (0.35 kW), Atacama (0.5 kW);
- Venice “Bio-Convector” PKK700 (0.7 kW) and PKK 1350 (1.350 kW);
- NTES Evolution 400 (0.4 kW) and NTES Evolution 800 (0.8 kW). The peculiarity of these heaters is that their front part is made in the form of a glass-ceramic panel. Outwardly, they are very similar to modern TVs. When mounted on a wall, there is little to distinguish them from a regular TV.
The developers of modern heating systems will not stop there. To date, the question of which heaters are the most economical and more efficient can be answered in the affirmative - a ceramic panel, and its direct competitor is a micathermic heater, which loses very little to it.
The most economical heater is RESSI, I was convinced from my own experience. I ordered on the website vsekupili.rf
For some reason, there are no thermal curtains in the article, now many entrance doors are made of plastic with glass and you have to install thermal curtains
Hello, I advise you to read this article when choosing a heater. This is a great option for heating either an apartment or a residential building. We have long begun to look for something similar for ourselves, but only last year we bought a Tepleko heater.
The most economical and the best is definitely TEXTURE, they are 2 years ahead of all competitors and this is the only engineering company that develops the direction of production of quartz heaters
I agree with Artem 100%, I bought one from TEXTURE first for a test, then I completely heated the cottage with them. Compared with others, but I simply did not find anything similar in terms of price / quality ratio. No other manufacturer has such an assortment.
And I bought for TEXTURE the cheapest 2 pieces for a greenhouse last year in the spring, I really liked the effect. Good manufacturer. Now we are looking forward to their new heaters with Himalayan salt, as the child is asthmatic and this is the only salvation ...
And here is another type of economical electric heaters of the new generation "Hot plinth". You will like it.
addition to the previous
Electric heater "Warm bed". A necessary thing when you come to the country in the spring.
