What are the advantages of a mikatermichesky heater

Mikatermichesky infrared heater not so long ago appeared on store shelves. According to the creators of the device, it uses technologies that were borrowed from medicine and astronautics.

Principle of operation

What is a mikatermichesky heater? This is an innovative infrared device, which is based on the radiation that penetrates first of all into objects and things that fall into the radiation zone, and then - into the air. This method of heating allows not to overdry the air, as a result, the level of humidity in the room is maintained at a normal level. According to this principle, the sun warms, and a person under his rays warms up quickly, but once he leaves the radiation zone, the feeling of heat disappears immediately (more about how the device worksprinciple of operation of the heater with infrared radiation).

These heaters are recommended to be used in rooms where there is no central heating, that is, at country houses, in garages, in small workshops.

When the mikatermichesky device is turned on, the temperature rise is felt almost immediately, unlike oil heaterswhich require at least three hours for the heating effect to become noticeable.

Device

In the device, the heat source is a plate that evenly distributes infrared radiation or heat waves. In this case, she herself is not subject to heat. So, in case of accidental contact with her, a person will not get burns.

The plate consists of a large number of layers, while on both sides they are covered with mica. That is why in mikatermicheskikh heaters there is no coolant. This means that such a problem as the combustion of a spiral does not exist.

Plates are located in metal case, on both sides of which there are gratings that do not hinder the passage of radiation. Since the heating element has two grids, it radiates heat in two directions.As the devices improved, two more layers were added to the plate. And they were located on one side: the first layer reflected heat, and the second concentrated. Thanks to them, warm streams began to spread in one direction. There are wall-mounted and one-sided heaters.

Advantages and disadvantages

In order for a person to have a correct attitude towards this device, it is necessary:

• Consider all the advantages that manufacturers say.
• Consider reviews of people who use this device.
• Summarize the flaws that occur during operation of the device.

Advantages of the device:

1. When switched on in a network, mikatermicheskie heaters immediately begin to radiate heat, heating objects that are in the zone of radiation, and do not waste time and energy to heat themselves.
2. It is lightweight.
3. Since the plate does not heat up, but only radiates waves, its temperature does not exceed 60 degrees. At this temperature, a person can not get burned.
4. Spends electricity at 30% less than its counterparts.
5. If there is no heating element that is in contact with air, thenthe device does not reduce the humidity of the air and does not burn oxygen.
6. Works without noise.

These were the advantages of the device, voiced by manufacturers. What does the reviews say?

Immediately after connecting the device to the mains, the heat is not felt, it begins to spread after a short period of time if the person is still in the radiation zone. A big plus is that the device is really light. This allows you to easily install it anywhere in the room.

As for the heating temperature, it is noted here that the hand on the instrument can be held for several minutes, without danger of getting any burns.

Any modern heater is a converter of the electric power to heat. The efficiency reaches 98%, which means: almost all the electricity used is converted to heat. If you take two devices of different types, but with the same power, they will give the same amount of heat. Thus, mikatermichesky heaters can not save 30% of energy.

All heaters are manufactured taking into account sanitary requirements.no modern device should burn oxygen and dry the air.

Disadvantages of the heater:

1. 1. The farther a person is from the device, the less he feels his warmth.
   2. The room is warming only in the area of ​​passage of infrared radiation.
   3. Dust easily gets inside through the grate of the heater, it is difficult to remove it.

The cost of the device is much higher than that of ordinary heaters.

What to look for when buying

To choose the right mikatermichesky heater, you need to know its features.

Mica, which covers the plates, does not emit any gases, while the heating temperature is 1100 degrees.

Why use mica:

1. It is a natural insulator, that is, it does not conduct current, does not absorb water, and, moreover, is solid and durable. As a result of steel mica coating, a durable heater was obtained.
2. Covering the plates with mica of a certain thickness allowed us to remove the characteristic crackling that accompanies the process of heating the device.
3. On the surface of the mica dust does not burn.

Micatermic heaters when connected to the network immediately begin to work at full capacity.Therefore, for an apartment, a 1.5 kW appliance will be more than sufficient. Pay attention to the thermostat, if it is absent, you will have to manually disconnect and connect the device.

It is recommended to think about what place will heat the device. In this regard, the range of models is wide: they are installed on the floor, attached to the wall or ceiling, can be embedded in the wall or furniture.

Those who like to warm up while watching TV can purchase an open version of the heater without a fan. Since such devices heat by sector, and not the whole room, by heating you can go to the area where there is no exposure to infrared rays. Models are also available with a remote control.

The latest models of heaters can independently change the mode of operation.

If the device is mounted on the ceiling, whose height is 2.5 m, the coverage sector will be 20 square meters. The device is permanently mounted on the wall; its movement to another place is no longer possible.

When the device is working, 80% of the generated heat is converted to infrared radiation, and the remaining 20% ​​is spent on heating the air around the device.

Additional features include protection against moisture and water: such devices can be used for heating bathrooms.

Micatermic heaters are considered a novelty, they are produced by a small number of manufacturers. The devices are equipped with protection systems, thermostats, timers, may have a touch panel or control panel. The buyer can choose any model to suit your tastes and rooms.
