Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of this heating equipment can be attributed to it. versatility. The device performs well in both industrial and residential buildings. Works with autonomous and centralized heating.It can be used in dry rooms, and also in the conditions of the increased humidity.
The most obvious advantages convector heaters (electrical, gas, water) - this:
- compactness and invisibility in the interior;
- convenience of placement;
- safety and efficacy;
- quick warming of the dwelling;
- durability and strength;
- removal of condensate on the windows;
- variety of complete sets.
An important disadvantage of such devices is embedding complexity under the established window sill.
Purpose and design of the device
The unit is used for buildings with large window sills. It is completed with one or two heat exchangers, as well as an electric fan. This is necessary for heating homes and removing condensate from the windows.

It is equipped with a special moisture removal system. Harmoniously and beautifully complements each interior.
The main components of the convector:
- housing and heater;
- fans;
- thermoregulation system.
In specialized stores you can find convectors with and without complete window sills.In the first case, we are dealing with a ready-made device that only needs to be installed and connected. The second option requires sidebar windowing and is considered more complex. There are also vnutripolnye and baseboards models.
Principle of operation
So, the case itself is located directly below the window. In the casing there are some tubes inside of which coolant flows. Through a special grill comes out warm air and then placed in the sill itself. Then the heat acts on the glass, removing the condensate. Thus, the window will always be dry, regardless of the weather outside.
