3. Electric radiant panel radiator

What is infrared radiation?

Infrared radiation, also known as thermal radiation, is the movement of energy through electromagnetic waves. Infrared radiation heats objects independently of the ambient air. The best example of this principle is radiation from the sun. Infrared radiation from the sun, similar to the glass radiator, is absorbed by all objects, causing these objects to heat up.

Where Radiant Panels are Located?

A radiant panel can be effectively mounted on any flat surface. The only requirement is the surface be sufficiently large enough. The larger the surface, the lower the actual surface temperature required. A wall radiator may have a surface temperature of 180F while an 81F floor will do the same job.
Radiant energy will heat the surfaces of all objects which are in direct line of sight from the panel; that means all walls, floors, ceilings, chairs, tables, or people which can be "seen" by the radiant panel. Therefore, a heated ceiling will raise the surface temperature of floors and walls, while heated floors will raise the temperature of ceilings and walls. Air coming in contact with these surfaces is also gently heated.

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.
