Fan Heaters

¿Cómo funciona un termoventilador?

Los termoventiladores mantienen la habitación caliente, liberando calor directo muy rápidamente gracias al ventilador incorporado. Los termoventiladores tienen bobinas metálicas en su interior, y la electricidad fluye a través de ellas para calentarlas. Cuando las bobinas están calientes, empiezan a calentar el aire en el interior del calefactor. El calefactor también tiene un ventilador que expulsa el aire caliente y lo difunde por la habitación. Gracias a su práctico tamaño y al asa de transporte de muchos modelos, los calefactores son móviles y se pueden conectar simplemente a un enchufe de pared.

Traditional Fan Heaters vs Ceramic Fan Heaters

While conventional fan heaters relies only on heating wires to heat the air, ceramic fan heaters use a ceramic heating plate, which get heated by the electricy and heats up the surrounding air. This allows the ceramic fan heaters radiate heat long after the heater has been turned off, since the plate retains more heat than the metal wire. Ceramic space heaters are also much quieter than traditional fan heaters.

Energy consumption

Electric fan heaters can provide cosy warmth on cold winter evenings, but it must be taken into account that they generally use more electricity than other electric heaters to warm up a room of the same size. However, as they are suitable for small rooms, it is possible to keep energy consumption under control by using small tricks such as remembering to close windows during use and switching off devices once the desired heat is reached.

When is best to use a fan heater?

Space saving and easy to set up, fan heaters are mainly used as a supplementary or sporadically used heating source. They are the ideal personal heating systems to provide you quick direct heating and keep you warm in unheated rooms such such as the garage, basement, conservatory, garden shed, workshop, guest room, caravan.
