The hot oil contained in the metal radiator housing retains more heat than some other types of heating elements and the built in thermostat turns the unit on and off thereby saving energy while maintaining your desired temperature.
Benefits of ceramic radiators.
Oil filled heaters and ceramic space heaters are designed for different heating purposes.
In general a 1500 watt heater will warm a small room between 150 and 250 square feet with ease.
Measure your room so you know what square footage you need to heat to help you choose the right size heater.
Both of them have certain advantages and disadvantages associated with them.
For use in certain types of room such a laboratories these heaters are ideal.
In all cases look for oil filled radiators or ceramic space heaters that are ul certified and come with safety features like anti tip protection and automatic shut off.
If you need a heater for your bedroom for winters and don t want it to be noisy you should go for an oil filled heater.
Let s take a look at the benefits of each of these two categories of heaters to know more.
In this type of heating method electricity heats a series of aluminum parts called fins that transfer heat to a ceramic heating element at the same time the unit draws in cool air from the base of the heater and pushes it over the ceramic element and metal parts heating the air and dispersing it into the room.
Most of the models have in built mechanisms to reduce the flow of electric charge as the temperature hits 380 degrees fahrenheit.
Ceramic heaters are based on the convection principle since they heat up the air with the help of the ceramic element.
It has been observed that the overall temperature of the equipment as well as its hottest part is very low as compared to other space heaters.
Radiators use convection to efficiently heat cold room air.
Advantages of ceramic heaters include their safety features too.
Not only is the ceramic heater a good choice for homes and offices where certain rooms are kept unheated but many of the ceramic heaters provide timing devices that allow you to set a pre determined time to have the heater turn on or shut off.
