Convector or infrared heater, which is better

The heating equipment market offers a wide variety of devices that differ in their operating principles, dimensions and appearance. There is the main problem, which heater is better to choose an infrared (IR) or a convection heater. Let's take it all in order!

Convectors

The principle of operation of the convector is based on the circulation of heated air in space. The convector produces a stream of warm air, which rises according to the laws of physics. When the air cools down and goes down, it passes through the radiator plates again, after which it heats up and rises to the ceiling, and so on constantly. When the device is turned off, the air cools down and the room cools down.

Infrared heater

Infrared heaters, like a solar disk, create infrared radiation of different wavelengths. Long and short waves propagate in the room, and are absorbed by objects and people encountered on the way. It is proved that visible short waves create some risk for human health, it is very hot and unsafe to be near such a radiator, so the advantage is given to infrared long-wave heaters. Ceramic IR heaters, which are a heating device with a ceramic panel, are particularly popular. During the operation of these installations, heat energy accumulates in objects, and on the ceramics itself, so when the IR panels are turned off, the room keeps warm for a long time.

7 reasons to buy an infrared heater with ceramic panels

1. The speed of heating the air in the room is higher for the convector, but the ability of IR to heat objects and walls around, will allow the room to stay warm for a long time even after the heater is turned off, which makes the use of infrared more cost-effective.

2. When the convectors work, the air is dried, while the IRs retain the existing humidity and do not burn oxygen.

3. Starting from the surfaces, the long beams of IR heaters create a uniform temperature regime throughout the room.

4. When working with convectors, dust particles rising with warm air, then fall on the radiator and begin to burn out, releasing the smell. IRs work without noise and smell.

5. From IR heaters, ceramic heaters are even more economical, since they give off heat for a long time after switching off.

6. The developers try to make each type of heater safe to use, equipping it with protection systems against overshoot and overheating. Ceramic IR panels are considered the safest – they are not afraid of voltage fluctuations and do not overheat.

7. With the same efficiency, an infrared heater consumes 30% less energy than a convection radiator. The choice is yours, let your apartment, office or country house will always be comfortable and warm!
