Plinth heater: electric and water
The plinth heater represents the whole heating system. It allows you to get the most comfortable temperature in the room, heated. This is due to the special layout and design of the device.
The heating system is located on the perimeter of the room under the plinth, thereby creating comfortable conditions due to rapid heating and the ability to maintain a given temperature. Is a kind of convector.
Principle of action
The basis of heat transfer by this method is not the amount of energy, and its quality. This system is very convenient, thanks to that, that the heat from under the plinth rises and is a kind of curtain from the street weather conditions. The walls are heating up, thanks to which the whole room is evenly and comfortably heated. So, favorable conditions for human life are created.
Plinth heater allows you to reduce energy costs 50%, in comparison with classical heating devices.
The use of "warm plinth" has virtually no active convection, due to which the amount of dust in the air is reduced to zero, which also creates a healthy climate. in addition, that such a heating system is able to create a kind of thermal curtain, it protects the walls from excess moisture, due to which apartment owners may face such problems, as mold or fungal growth. Effortless heaters can be built directly into the walls or even into the base of the built-in kitchen. There are also models of convectors, which are built in window sills or mounted under the floor.
The system is able to fit into any interior thanks to the practical shape of the plinth.
The spread of cold air is blocked in minutes after switching on. The floor together with the walls heat up very quickly and then begin to radiate heat.
Design features
Heaters of this type are able to easily fit under the plinth height of 134 mm and above and thick 29 mm As an energy source can be used: liquid or electrical energy. The system is easily mounted together with other boiler equipment and can be used not only as an accessory, but also as the main.
Warm plinth is not always installed around the perimeter of the room. If desired, only part of the installation can be used.
Installation is as simple as possible, for this purpose heating elements accurately stack in special brackets, which can later be decorated with a special metal casing, wood or any other material. To make a plinth it is possible to choose practically any wood, based on their desire. Only high-quality and dry wood must be used for the casing, to eliminate deformation. You can use others, no less convenient and high-quality materials, such as: tile, natural stone, etc.. d.
Scope
Many people mistakenly believe, that baseboard heaters are used exclusively in apartments or private homes. This is not true at all, after all, such systems are very popular in kindergartens, medical institutions, hotels and even offices and non-residential premises.
In a country house plinth heaters are more than actual, due to the high level of energy savings, ease of installation and the ability to connect to low-power networks.
In rooms with high ceilings, conventional heating is inefficient, therefore, such equipment will be an excellent alternative. If to mount a warm plinth directly in a kitchen socle, then you can safely put furniture near the windows.
Water heating option
Plinth heating systems can be liquid-based, which will be heated and flow through special abrasion-resistant pipes. Thanks to special technical solutions, the diameter of the pipes remains the same throughout the service life. The material is completely impermeable to oxygen, thanks to which it is possible to exclude premature corrosion.
Water heating elements are installed along the walls. There, where they are not needed, for the integrity of the species, you can set the system profile, which will be empty inside.
The plinth for space heating is mounted very quickly and is also adjustable. If you take the system in the water version, for efficient space heating of one hundred square meters, enough of everything 8 liters of water. For maximum comfort there is a possibility of autonomous adjustment. Thus in each room the cosiness with a big share of economy is created. Heat losses reach a minimum, due to the increase in the velocity of the liquid. The average comfortable temperature of such plinth is in the area 50 degrees Celsius.

Electric heating option
The plinth type heater can be heated by an electric element, connected to the network. The connection to the mains is made on the basis of a silicone heat-resistant cable, heat resistance which reaches 300 degrees Celsius.
Such a system can be connected to a normal electrical network 220 V. The amount of energy supplied is regulated by a thermostat.
Temperature control
In each room the system integrates a thermostat - for local temperature control. They can be thermomechanical or electronic.
Thermomechanical thermostats are set manually in each individual room. Once the mode is built, you can no longer touch these systems.
The electronic thermostat independently changes the speed of supply of electricity or liquid and, depending on the situation, increases or decreases it.
The system can also be connected to external thermostats. In this case, the heater will change its temperature depending on the weather outside.
Recently, plinth systems are connected not only to central heating, but also to the technology of "smart homes".
Warm plinths have several undeniable advantages:
- Create a unique cozy microclimate.
- Not only the walls are heated, but also the floor.
- Save energy.
- Have the maximum efficiency.
- The heat is distributed as evenly as possible, optimally, according to the set parameters.
- Easy to mount.
- Give the chance of application practically in any rooms, even with lots of windows and high ceilings.
- Have a design, which allows you to fit well into any interior.
- Quickly adjustable.
In addition to all the above advantages, plinth electric heaters do not create active convection, which reduces the amount of dust in the room and allows residents to breathe freely.
