Heater
A space heater is a portable device designed to warm the air in a specific room. It is typically used in addition to central or collective heating systems to avoid turning on the entire system when the temperature temporarily drops. These devices allow for quick and efficient heating of specific spaces without the need to increase the temperature throughout the entire building.
Space heaters come in various types, providing a wide range of options depending on needs and preferences:
- Electric heaters (oil-filled, fan heaters, ceramic core heaters): These models are popular for their ease of use, fast heating, and affordability.
- PTC ceramic heaters: Using ceramic elements, these heaters are efficient, economical, and produce little dust, making them suitable for allergy sufferers.
- Filament heaters: These fan heaters rapidly warm a room using heated metal wires, although they consume more energy.
- Quartz heaters: These heaters emit intense heat through radiation, ideal for small spaces or bathrooms.
- Infrared heaters: These heat objects and people directly in the room without warming the air, making them particularly useful for large spaces or outdoor use. - Gas heaters: Used for larger spaces or outdoor areas, these heaters provide immediate warmth without consuming electricity.
Space heaters are thus practical, portable solutions that allow for localized temperature control, providing optimal comfort based on each user’s specific needs.
