Depending on the energy used, radiators are divided into two categories: water radiators and electric radiators. Water heaters use water as the fluid and natural gas as the raw material. The water is heated and transported to the radiator to dissipate heat. achieve the heating target. Electric heaters use electrical energy to achieve heating objectives through heating tubes. So, which type of heater is best?
First, product safety: the temperature of the heating element inside the electric heater is high, and if it is not properly maintained during use, it can easily present a danger. . The water heater works smoothly, is safe and reliable, and has no safety concerns regarding radiation.
Second, scope of use: electric heaters use electricity as energyie. The current thermal configuration of electric heaters is 140w per square meter. Due to the influence of the rated current of household electric meters, electric heaters are only used. suitable for 50 square meter areas of the houses below. However, there are no restrictions on water heaters. Whether it is a small living room or an entire spacious villa, water radiators can be selected.
Third, cost: electric heaters consume a lot of energy, with low-power heaters of 800w and high-power heaters of over 3000w. If electric heaters are used throughout the heating season, the electric heating bill is estimated to be around 5,000 yuan. Many families are not willing to bear such high heating costs. In comparison, the running cost of water heaters is low, andthey are self-heating, they can go down to around 1,000 yuan. In summary, in terms of product safety, scope of use and cost, the water radiator is the winner due to its high price-performance ratio. Although electric heaters have the advantage in freedom, convenience and cleanliness, in the face of fierce market competition, in the sharp eyes of industry insiders, water heaters still win with absolute advantages.
Advantages of electric heating:
1. The electronic thermostat of the system can quickly and effectively adjust the room temperature when the temperature reaches the preset, it automatically enters the constant temperature. Condition, electricity saving.
2. Apart from occupying part of the floor space, this will have no impact on the living room. The only visible thing is the thermostat scattered in each room, which will not affect the decoration effect.
3. IThere is no dryness or dust as with other heating methods, and it is clean and hygienic.
4. Compared with other heating methods, because the floor heating and head heating method is better. By achieving the same level of comfort, it can save around 15% energy. It can also be preheated at night and benefit from low-cost timeshare electricity bills.
5. Once the cable is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced instead of the entire cable, which is easy to maintain.
Disadvantages of electric heating: small heat dissipation area and dangerous use. If you use it for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable.
Advantages of water heating:
1. There is no need to arrange many annoying factors inside and there is no ventilation device. No noise, noExhaust port, no dust blown out. This will not cause dust to fly due to air convection in the house, thereby reducing air pollution.
2. The plastic pipe is buried in the ground. If you choose high-quality products with guaranteed quality and no human damage, the service life will be more than 50 years, saving maintenance and replacement costs.
3. Underfloor heating increases the surface area of the room and reduces floor noise. It automatically achieves high temperatures for different homes and rooms, eliminates dust and odors in cooling equipment, improves heating comfort and improves quality of life
Disadvantages of water heating: cost is higher than that of electric heating, and the overall consumption is also higher than that of electric heating.
Water radiators form a dissipationradiant heat by heating the water in the pipes. They are generally more common in the north and are more common in combination with underfloor heating. But the installation will be more complicated because there are a lot of pipes. Electric radiators are surface mounted radiators that require no maintenance and are relatively simple to install. They have no redundant hoses and simply plug them in. The usage costs are also different. Water heaters are generally used to heat large areas. Electric heaters should be used to check whether they have heat storage and energy saving functions.
