The principle of operation of heaters Bork

Heating devices functioning methods:

• Oil heaters. The body is filled with high boiling point mineral oil. The oil liquid contains elements that are heated by electricity. The heated air currents are distributed by convection throughout the room. Such heaters are characterized by a large area of ​​the heating part. The intensity of space heating is determined by the power of the radiator.
• Convector heaters. The room is heated by the passage of air through heating elements, which can be metal or ceramic. Circulation occurs due to the different densities of warm and cold air. The heating part of the device has a large area.
• Ceramic heaters. A distinctive feature of such devices is the presence of a special panel made on the basis of ceramics. The principle of operation is to create and use forced convection. The latter is carried out due to the heating of the ceramic element and its further blowing by fans. In this way, the heated air flows are evenly distributed over the entire area of ​​the room.

Ceramic models of fan heaters are considered the safest, since their heating elements have a moderate temperature during operation.
