Heating convectors

term "gas convector."The principle of

In fact, gas convector - is a regular heater.It consists of a heat exchanger in a beautiful body and a gas burner.The gas used in the 19th century, is a convenient and practical.But after many years, a modern gas convector is significantly different from their old counterparts.Feed gas now regulated in the automatic mode, and when the desired temperature thermostat switches off the burner.When the temperature is three degrees, again lit the fire.The heat exchanger provides the convection in the air, and the flame heats the room air.

Most new gas convectors take the air out of the streets and to the exhaust gas.In this case, use a coaxial Breather those from any hole.There

gas convectors closed and open.Above, we have described the closed type.The second type takes the air from the room and discharged into the general ventilation of combustion products.Open type is easy to install, because only need to connect the convector to the gas source.

The heat exchanger is made of iron or steel (iron durable).Gas convectors are independent of electricity fueled manually piezoelectric element.In standby mode, illuminates only a small fire, which, when the air cools, flares stronger.However, in some models, the waiting period, the flame is completely extinguished.To re-ignite the spark between LEDs, you will need an external power supply.On the one hand, the disadvantage is that these heaters do not work without electricity, and plus - the gas savings of up to 25%.

Advantages of gas convector

Based on the fact that the main gas heating is considered to be the cheapest, we list the main advantages of a gas convector.

1. Easy installation.Easy to install their own hands.
2. When using closed-type atmosphere is not disturbed in the room due to the air from the street.
3. efficiency = 97% (higher than that of gas boilers).
4. Some models are not dependent on electricity.
5. may heat up even at very low temperatures (down to -50 gr.Ts.).
6. high service life (minimum 20 years).
7. gas convector can be autonomous.
8. Low cost, ranging from 3 thousand rubles.

Disadvantages gas convector

Of course, there are drawbacks.The most important is to work with the gas.Even children know that it is explosive.Therefore, buying a home, gas convector, all safety precautions must be observed.

There is another disadvantage of the economic effect.If you plan on using bottled gas, it makes little sense to install this equipment.Bottled gas is too expensive and the process of its permanent replacement tedious.

gas consumption and features mounting

gas consumption tied to the thermal capacity of the unit.Approximate figures:

1,5 kW - 0.25 m3 / h.

5 kW - 0.6 m3 / h.

nonlinear growth is due to the combustion support regime.Devices that do not depend on electricity, spending the same amount of gas, regardless of the power.

Quick installation guide:

1. the diameter of the coaxial pipe in the wall of drilled hole with a slight slope down.
2. made aperture in the air intake pipe is inserted and sealed using a sealant or assembly foam.
3. drill holes for fasteners.
4. Insert the pin for fixing the pipe and flue gas.
5. is attached to the wall of the gas convector.
6. installed outside the lattice-splitter for dispersion of combustion products.
7. Turn on the gas.
8. Check tightness of connections with soapy water.
