Review of infrared heaters for home and summer cottages that are not included in the TOP 10
According to a review of infrared heaters for home and summer cottages, film heaters and catalytic ceramic plates (a heating element - a flexible heating element in the form of a thermal cable), and heaters with an open spiral did not get into the top ten. This is due to the fact that these devices appeared relatively recently, the product has just hit the market, and begins its life. They are rarely used because they have not yet received sufficient reviews due to lack of popularity.
Film heaters are an innovation on the market. They are very convenient in the sense that they are easy to transport and do not take up much storage space in the warm part of the year. You just need to roll it up. With regard to technical characteristics, the power range of such heaters varies within 0.4-4 kW. A 0.4 kW device is quite enough to heat a room with an area of 15 m in a short period2... Accordingly, the more powerful the heater, the more area it can heat. Installation type of film heater is wall.
The most popular manufacturer of film heaters is Ballu Industrial Group (models BIH-AP-0.8, BIH-AP-1.0, BIH-AP-4.0), Almac (IK-5B, IK-16), BiLux (B600, B1350).
Catalytic infrared heaters are in the form of a metal plate coated with a polymer material. The heating element in the form of a flexible thermal cable gives off heat much more efficiently than conventional heating elements. Moreover, it is absolutely safe, ecological and durable.
The most popular catalytic heater is BiLux B1000. Power - 1 kW. This is enough for heating 20 m2 area. Dimensions - 16x150x4 cm. Installation method wall and ceiling. It refers to heaters that do not burn oxygen.
Also, infrared heaters with an open spiral did not make it into the top ten. This is due to the obsolescence of technology, so they are rarely used. These heaters are unsafe and harmful (they burn oxygen). There are very few of them on free sale. The open coil prevents the heater from being left unattended. It is especially dangerous for children, who can very often be injured by touching the heated area of the heater.
