Economic indicators and calculations

Energy-saving ceramic and quartz heaters are really economical. Let's try to consider consumption based on an apartment with two rooms and a kitchen. Suppose we have two rooms of 20 sq. m, and the kitchen - 7 sq. m. We will put another heater in a combined bathroom with an area of ​​​​6 square meters. m. Total we need the following equipment:

• Four Nikaten 500 heaters - the total consumption will be 14 kW per day.
• One heater Nikaten 330 with an energy consumption of 2.3 kW per day.
• One heater Nikaten 300 with an energy consumption of 2.1 kW per day.

For each device, we need a thermostat, since the above figures are relevant only when using thermostats. The set temperature is within + 22-23 degrees. In total, 18.4 kW will go per day, 552 kW in 30 days. With an average cost of 1 kW of electricity of 4.5 rubles, heating costs will amount to 2484 rubles. Basically, it's not that much. Another part of the electricity will go to household needs - the operation of an electric kettle, microwave oven, energy-saving light bulbs and other electrical appliances.

Even taking into account electric heating with Nikaten heaters, you can easily put the cost of electricity at 3.5-4 thousand rubles. Remember that the calculations presented are valid for an apartment (or private household) with an area of ​​53 sq. m. with good insulation.

Excellent monolithic quartz heaters

This type of equipment is made of quartz placed in a monolithic slab 20-30 mm thick.In the middle of it, a tubular-type heating element is sealed, which heats the material that releases heat into the space of the room.

When switched off, the heat radiation still lasts about 2 hours due to the thick walls. These devices are not afraid of water, thanks to this they can be placed anywhere.

TeplopitBel 0.25 kW - for the toilet

This quartz a heater with a monolithic stove is considered the best for heating a small toilet, so that it is convenient to be in it, but do not pull a separate water-type heating line there.

Design and principle of operation

Nikaten ceramic heaters are typical infrared heaters. They are sources of infrared radiation reaching surrounding objects and causing them to internally heat up. As a result, they become independent passive heat sources. The sun warms our planet in a similar way - its rays warm up the elements of the landscape, because of which they emit thermal energy.

One Nikaten ceramic heater is able to replace two convectors or traditional heating elements of the same power - at least that's what the manufacturer says. Acquaintance with these devices showed that a power of 1 kW is enough not for 10, but for 20 square meters. m.They are installed on the walls, due to the small thickness of the cases, they do not clutter up the room and do not take up free space.

Consider the advantages of these heaters:

One of the main advantages will be low energy costs - the manufacturer claims that savings can reach up to 85%.

• A 5-year warranty is a worthy plus, which not every manufacturer can boast of;
• Low power equipment - reduces the load on the electrical network;
• Easy to install - just hang the devices on the brackets;
• Ecological cleanliness - no smell of burnt dust, the equipment does not burn oxygen.

Of course, it is difficult to count on such high performance - except to sheathe the whole house with five layers of insulation, lay half of the windows and insulate the ceilings as much as possible, not forgetting about the floors and insulation of the foundation. But in this case, we get a warm box filled with musty, moist air - you need to arrange good ventilation to get rid of condensation and create a healthy atmosphere.

Structurally, these devices are heavy (from 7 kg) ceramic panels, inside of which heating elements are located. They are painted in several colors, which makes it easy to choose the right color for certain interiors. For example, the Nikaten 330 model can be painted in pearl, graphite, beige or coffee colors - soft warm shades.

Produced models

There are six models for sale. They differ in power consumption, dimensions and shape of cases.

Consider them in more detail and pay attention to the characteristics

VIDEO: Myths and reality about quartz heaters

Varieties of quartz heating systems

The design of various types of radiators includes traditional quartz, the differences affect the execution - if in infrared they make a tube of glass with an electric heater from sand, then in monolithic ones they make the panel itself from it.

So, in our time, 2 types of radiators are demonstrated for sale:

The first are a solid panel with a thickness of 7 to 25 mm. The second - a glass tube with a heater. Both are available in both wall and floor types.

Monolithic

Structurally, this is a plate made of a mixture of sand and clay and the addition of individual elements, in the middle of which is placed a nichrome thread with increased resistance in a non-flammable bulb.

The plate itself is placed in a metal frame with adjustment keys.

The thermostat is not included in the kit, it can be selected either as an additional option (+ to the price), or even as a separate component.

• power - 0.4-05 kW per hour;
• weight - up to 15 kg;
• temperature - up to 98 ° С;
• heating speed - 20-25 min.

In the absence of an external water thermostat, the device will work exactly as long as it is connected to the outlet. Based on this, working with a thermostat will be very convenient - when the set temperature is reached, the heating turns off, as soon as it becomes noticeably cooler, it turns on. There is also a carbon-quartz wall.

infrared

These are the well-known UFO-shki (UFO), which have become a household name in our state. The device is quite simple - in one or more flasks made of sand, a nichrome thread is placed, which heats up and the entire surface of the tube returns heat. For directional action, the backside is mirrored to reflect heat.

The infrared view is convenient in that it makes it possible to heat the room zonally.

The built-in temperature controller changes the on and off of the device. On the one hand, the work of “ufos” is convenient - it is not the air that is heated, but objects and they, for their part, give off heat. On the other hand, it takes much more time to heat the room than during the operation of a conventional convection device.

• power - 1.5-2 kW;
• weight - up to ten kilograms;
• temperature - up to 98 ° С;
• heating speed - 20-25 sec.

Carbon-quartz

This version of the equipment is difficult to attribute to an individual category, rather, to different types of monolithic ones, however, at the same time, quartz caborono combines the properties of quartz, infrared and ceramic heating systems at once. So, for example, the carbon fiber is not prone to thermal expansion, which eliminates the cracking of the plate from the monolith.The heat transfer of a carbon filament is greater than that of a nichrome spiral for the same power used, based on this, the bills for electrical energy will be less.

We figured out the varieties, now let's move on to the rating of good models.

Saved at a certain moment

When we bought the dacha, there was a fireplace in one of the rooms, which heated the room only while it was burning. As soon as he went out - the room became cool. This did not suit us, we dismantled the fireplace. But you need to warm up somehow.

Based on the impressions and recommendations, we purchased this heater.

Nowadays, we have been using it for more than a year, thanks to this I have already managed to form my own opinion about it.

Pros:

+ He's silent. From the word at all. I sleep lightly, but even at night I am not awakened by a functioning device. Other heaters have this problem.

+ Quick and easy to install. With the help of my husband.

+ More modern design. You can’t say right away that it’s a heating device.

+ Thin, small, not heavy.

+ Good price. This point is also very important.

+ Quickly heats up a room of 15m2.

Many of our friends noted how warm it is now. Families began to gather more often with us.)

We noted only 1 minus - my husband was electrocuted. Well, how it hit - the mosquito bit ))

The instructions warn about this, so be sure to read it.

In general, probably everything. Pointed out important points - I advise everyone.
