Electric convector "Nobo" (Nobo). Specifications and reviews

The modern market of heating equipment is characterized by ever-increasing popularity of electric heating. This fact can not be called surprising, since it is not possible for all owners of private and country houses to use gas, but liquid boilers have not been able to gain popularity among consumers.

Why choose electric heating

Solar panels are still not able to escape from the experiment stage. Looking at the situation with heating in the apartments, it can be noted that the central system often simply does not cope with the tasks assigned to it. That is why the purchase of electrical appliances for heating for many families is the only true solution, so as not to freeze on winter evenings. These are wall-mounted convectors "Nobo". However, here you can face some difficulties, since, considering the assortment of described devices, you can simply get lost without deciding which device is safer, efficient, practical and unpretentious in operation.

Principle of operation

From the school course of physics you know that heated air has the property of rising. Expanding, it acquires less density. Cold streams displace pre-heated, it is on this principle and operates the convector Nobo.

All such devices have a fairly simple design. They have in the composition of the part, among which the heating element and the body itself. To draw cold air from below, there are holes, the same, but for the exit of heated, there are from above. Inside the case, most often at the bottom, there is a heating element. It is designed to process air, which is at a certain time between the walls of the structure.

Design features

Convector "Nobo" distributes air throughout the room, making it absolutely noiseless and as evenly as possible. A number of models are equipped with a fan, which makes it possible to speedily accelerate the process described above. However, if you choose this kind of device, then you can forget about the noiselessness. Some role in the popularity of convectors is played by the temperature of the shell walls, which does not increase more than 60 degrees. This fact very favorably distinguishes such devices from oil analogs, which are considered dangerous today in terms of the possibility of getting burns. This is especially true for animals and children. That is why the owners of those houses where such representatives are present, try to abandon the purchase of convectors.

Characteristics of convectors by heating element

Convector "Nobo" can have one of three types of heating elements. This component can be monolithic, tubular or acicular. Tubular heating elements have aluminum fins. Considering the needle elements, you can see a thin plate made of dielectric, a heating thread of chrome-nickel is installed on it. In the production process, it is covered with an insulating lacquer. Among the positive features of this heater can be identified almost instantaneous temperature set, but you need to consider that and cool down this element will be just as soon. Buying Nobo convectors, you should remember that the lacquered elements do not have any protection from water, so you can not use such devices in wet rooms. As the main advantage of such an aggregate it is possible to allocate cost, but also about durability it does not go. In practice, needle-type heating elements are used quite rarely, but if you still found such an assembly, then it is best to abandon its purchase.

Characteristics of a tubular heating element

Nobo convectors can also have a tubular heating element which looks like a metal tube, a nichrome thread is installed in it and filled with a heat-conducting special backfill. Compared with the above, such a heating element has a less impressive temperature, so it is more durable. If there is a need to use a convector in a room, the conditions of which are high in humidity, then it is best to choose the heaters in a splash-proof design. You should be prepared for the fact that in the process of work the difference in thermal expansion between the tubes and ribs will be accompanied by the appearance of sounds that resemble a crackle.

Reviews of devices with a monolithic heating element

If you decide to purchase Nobo electric convector, it is best to prefer a device with a monolithic heating element. According to users, such units are completely silent in the process of operation, since the heater body is monolithic, to be exact, integral. Devices of this type work with the lowest heat loss, and their efficiency at altitude.

Reviews about the power of devices

Considering the point of sale electric convectors Nobo, you will notice that the devices can have different power. If you use the average indicator, then for every 10 square meters you will need 1 kilowatt of power. In this case, the ceiling height in the room should not exceed 2.7 meters. If this figure proves to be more impressive, then for an additional 10 centimeters of height you need to add 10% of the power. All users who have been using Nobo electric convectors for several years already note that in order to achieve high-quality heating, devices need to be purchased exactly as much as the windows in the room. Quite often it is about the corner rooms, as well as the premises that are built over the cold cellar. Users are advised in this case to purchase a device with a power reserve. This applies to rooms that are characterized by an impressive area of glazing.

Reviews about thermoregulators

Electric heaters "Nobo" can have the ability to maintain the necessary temperature, for this the device must have a thermostat, and it, in turn, can be controlled by an electronic device or mechanically. Experts advise choosing a mechanical thermostat, if you are pursuing the goal of saving. However, you should be prepared for a number of inconveniences. Consumers mention a sufficiently bad exposure of a certain temperature regime. Among other things, you will come across a consumption of more electricity. Customers also note the characteristic clicks that accompany the device when turning it off and on. If this is not an irritating factor for you, then this characteristic should not be paid attention. Convector "Nobo", reviews about which it will be interesting to know before buying the device, can also have an electronic thermostat. According to users, it is completely silent, reduces power consumption within the limits of possibilities, and also shows the ability to withstand certain temperature values, the error is minimal and can be 1/10 degrees. This is the convector "Viking-Nobo".
