High Efficiency Hot Water Baseboard Heaters

Slimline is designed to force heat across the floor and.

High efficiency hot water baseboard heaters. New systems are very energy efficient with efficiencies as high as 98 5. The electricity is used to heat the boiler and warm up the water which then radiates the heat. The baseboard which measures only 5 1 8 high x 1 deep complimentsany décor. New baseboard heaters can be more efficient at the passage of hot air.

Electricity still generates the system s heat but it does so indirectly. The hydronic baseboard heaters operate differently using a slightly more complex system. Electric baseboard heating is a form of high voltage home heating that utilizes that same electricity that powers the rest of your house to also heat it. Unlike conventional baseboard heaters there s no need to hardwire this heater into place and it operates in a standard 120 volt outlet.

Slimline hot water radiant baseboard is the cutting edge in heating development. In wood or carpeted floor applications where radiant floor systems are less effective slimline is the perfect alternative to maintain a completely radiant system. There is the only way of improvement other than design that you can see in these new heaters. The electric current still generates the heat but this time it warms the air indirectly.

Boilers heat water and then distribute hot steam or hot water to rooms through a series of pipes to heat the home. All of the electric heaters in the market regardless of the age of release can convert electricity to heat at 100 efficiency in terms of possible conversion of energy by this method. The westinghouse combination appliance represents the latest innovation in high efficiency space heating and hot water. Typical hot water baseboard radiation systems use standard supply water temperatures of 180 which is circulated through the copper and aluminum fi n tube piping arrangement to heat the desired space and returns back to the boiler at approximately 160 20 delta t.

Using an energy regulating thermostat high voltage electric current anywhere from 120v to 240v is pumped through to the heater and essentially completely converted to heat. This advanced modulating gas condensing boiler has up to 95 afue. The westinghouse combi boiler is made of a durable high grade stainless steel fire tube heat exchanger and a stainless steel indirect storage tank.
