1. Electric thermal fluid radiator

Does this radiator have any fluid inside?

No. This new radiator is the upgrade version of the oldest oil filled radiators, which makes it still use the old name. Actually, it is warming the air by convection & delivery heat by radiation, no fluid inside. So it use a complete clean heating way.

How does the Thermal Fluid Radiator work? Why does it have much better heat efficiency?

Radiator has 2 different ways to warm the room.
1. Convection: The cold air goes in from bottom hatch, through the unit & warmed, comes out of the top hatch. The convection will keep on and on, and the air turns warmer.
2. Radiation: There is a radiant conductive film inside unit, which heats the room by delivering radiant heat into air.

What is convection?

Convection in this context describes the heating up of the ambient air, for example, by using a heater. Warm air rises because of its lower density and pushes the cooler air towards the ground.
The cooler air is then warmed by the heater and rises, creating a circulation of air. Circulating air spreads dust and creates a cold-feet-effect as the cooler air is continually pushed towards the floor.

What is the main material of this unit?

The aluminum alloy, which has many advantages.
Llightweight, versatility of use, low thermal inertia, fast heat diffusion and consequent money saving.
Never rust, much better rigidity & flexibility than normal die cast aluminum.

Can it be fitted in my bathroom?

All our radiator cabinets are moisture resistant and can be installed in any room in your house, including the bathroom.

Does it have sharp edges or too high surface temperature, which may do harm to children?

It has been processed for the sharp edges. And its surface temperature is lower than 80. So it will be safe for children.

Where should I locate my radiators?

For even heating and the right comfort levels, most radiators are best placed in the coldest part of the room: under the window. This is because the cold outside air helps create the right convection inside i.e. pushing the hot air from the radiator into the room.
Large spaces are more effectively heated with 2 or more smaller radiators rather than one large one. A rule of the thumb often used in the trade is to have one radiator every four metres (about 15 feet) or so in the room.

Is the radiator compatible with my system?

The radiator is compatible with normal central heating systems and has French Standard(ITS) fittings.
On an existing system, you can replace all the radiators or just the ones you want.
