What is a car thermostat and why is it needed? What thermostat for the oil heater is the best? What is the difference between the electronic thermostat from mechanical

In your residential room or office there is not enough warmth and you decide to purchase a heater, but do not know which one to choose? This article will help you decide on the selection of the heater. Here you will find information about what heaters are, their main principle of work, their pros and cons, as well as some recommendations.

The most important characteristic of any thermal heater is power.

It depends on the area to which the heater is calculated. For not heated premises with good thermal insulation, about 1 kW is needed at 25-27 m 3 (for model apartments - 1 kW to 10m 3 with a standard ceiling height of 2.50 m).

For residential premises, having central heating, a sufficient electrical heater with a capacity of 1.0-1.5 kW per room with an area of \u200b\u200b20-25 m 3.

Square of heating, sq.m.	The power of the device, W
5 - 6	500
7 - 9	750
10 - 12	1000
12 - 14	1250
15 - 17	1500
18 - 19	1750
20 - 23	2000
24 - 27	2500

Most modern air heaters have built-in thermostats that allow you to automatically maintain the specified temperature. As a rule, thermostats do not have a degree scale, they work according to the principle more - less. An important characteristic of heaters is their type.

OIL RADIATOR

One of the most popular household heaters. They have a capacity from 1.0 to 2.5 kW and are used in apartments, offices, in dachas.

Principle of operation:

Inside the sealed metal case filled with mineral oil, there is an electric spiral. Heating, it transmits its warmth oil, and it in turn is a metal body, and then air. Its outer surface consists of several sections (ribs) - the more their number, the extensive heat transfer, with equal capacities. The heater supports the set temperature in the room and in the case of overheating automatically turns off. As soon as the temperature begins to fall - turns on.

Advantages:

the low temperature of the housing heating (about 60 ° C), due to which it does not "burn" the oxygen fireproof, Beshume due to the thermostat and timer, some models do not require a disconnection of high mobility (the presence of wheels makes it easy to move them from the room to the room)

Disadvantages:

relatively long warning of the room (however, they retain heat), the temperature of the radiator surface (does not allow you to freely touch it), relatively large dimensions

Electric convector

On operational characteristics, it looks like an oil radiator.

Used in apartments, offices, dachas, in houses, and can also be used as the main heating system. Suitable for any premises. All models of Noirot conversion models have the II class of electrical protection, do not require a special connection to the power grid and do not need to be grounded, which allows you to leave them on 24 hours a day, moisture is not afraid (the ability to install in the bathrooms and from / s). With accurate observance of the rules of operation, any possibility of ignition is excluded.

Principle of operation:

The heating of the room using the convector occurs due to the passage of air through the heating elements. The circulation occurs due to the different density of cold and warm air: cold air, heating, rises up, and the next game is lowered in its place. After that the process is repeated. The heating element has a large area and low heating temperature. Therefore, the lower the convector, the more efficient its work. There are outdoor and wall convectors. Convenient to use convectors if there is a timer, the function "ON delay"

Advantages:

The low heating temperature of the housing (about 60 ° C), due to which the oxygen does not "burn" due to the thermostat do not require a disconnection of high mobility (the presence of wheels makes it easy to move them from the room in the room) fireproof. Beshum. The possibility of fastening on any wall. High efficiency 99%. Quick heating of the room. Protected from overheating. The possibility of programming, convectors can be combined into an electrical heating system. Small dimensions. Smooth, flat housing.

Disadvantages: No.

What is the difference between the electronic thermostat from mechanical

The advantages of the electronic thermostat are obvious.

First, he is the most accurate today. The specified temperature is supported with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees. Heaters with a mechanical thermostat maintain a temperature with an accuracy of 1 to 3 degrees. Moreover, over time, the accuracy of the mechanical thermostat is reduced. The accuracy of the thermostat is dependent on the temperature of the temperature in the room and the human well-being, because our body catches the temperature changes even in 1 degrees.

Secondly, the electronic thermostat is absolutely silent.

Thirdly, the electronic thermostat serves much longer. So if you want the greatest comfort when using the heater, choose a model with an electronic thermostat.

And fourth in an electronic thermostat advantage in more accurate temperature maintenance. And its reliability is higher if the differences in the network are not more permissible by the passport. The differences in the network are often in Ukraine, and in the West they do not know anything about them.

They will also respond to some questions about convectors, frequently asked by our customers:

Question: Is there a difference in the effectiveness of high and low convectors?

Answer: Practically no. Thermal efficiency determines the power of the device.

Question: How safe are the convectors? Can I be left unattended?

Answer: Absolutely safe and are intended for autonomous work. Each device has an overheating sensor that will turn off the device in case of a fire-hazardous situation.

Question: I want to buy a device with a power of 1 kW. What temperature will it warm me the room?

Answer: The goal is incorrectly formulated. The convector will warm the room to the temperature that you need if it is correctly selected. Accordingly, you need to choose power, based on what you want to get. 1 kW is enough for the heating of a room of 10-12 sq.m. In this case, you can set any temperature in the range of 5 - 30s. The room is more - it means the power of the instruments should be greater.

Question: I have 50 sq.m. Highlighted 3 kW. How can I warm it up?

Answer: Taking into account the fact that there are still electrical appliances (kettle, TV, electric stove, etc. at any dacha, TV, electric stove, etc.) - the answer is not consolation: "You will be cool." By 50 sq.m. You need 4.5-5 kW of heating power. Otherwise it will not work. Consider additional heating sources.

Question: What are the convectors for 1000 UAH. They differ from the convectors for 3000 UAH.

As in any household appliances: the main difference is the efficiency (for example, the Noirot Connector efficiency is 99%), differences in the country of production (and this is the reliability, the quality of the assembly and the components themselves), on the period of warranty, additional features (programming, communicativeness). In addition, the price of 3000 UAH. For the convector, not the limit. There are models of Campa heaters with an exclusive design, worth $ 1000 -3000.

Question: How to support in the house just a plus temperature with minimal electricity consumption?

Answer: In almost every electroconctor, there is an "anti-plating" mode. When it is turned on, the device will maintain a temperature of 5-7 s, which is sufficient to prevent the freezing of the house.

Question: Help me choose a heater for the bathroom.

The bathroom is the most "intimate" place in the house where a person commits sanitary and hygienic procedures, taking the invigorating, contrast shower in the morning and warm, soothing bath in the evening. Staying one on one with you, we put in order not only your body, but also our thoughts, tune in to the business field or, on the contrary, shaking the burden of accumulated problems. An important point in human perception is not only the design of the room, but also the microclimate in it. Therefore, the bathroom should be warm and comfortable, but the ordinary heater indoors cannot be installed with such high humidity. Noirot electrical heaters are the optimal solution of this problem - highly efficient, compact and safe heating devices. With them, the design of the bathroom will become even more attractive, and a soft and gentle warmth will create a feeling of complete harmony.

All Noirot heaters have the second class of electrical protection, do not require a special connection to the electrical outlet and do not need to be grounded, which allows you to leave it on 24 hours a day. With accurate observance of the rules of operation, any possibility of ignition is excluded.

All Noirot models are performed in splashing performance (IP 24) and can be used even in wet rooms.

The Noirot electronic automation withstands the voltage drops from 150 V to 242 V, which is most relevant with frequent "racing" voltage. In case of possible power supply interruptions in heaters, the autorenta function is provided, restoring the operation of the device in the same mode.

Electrical heaters (convectors) are used as the main and additional heating of country houses, urban apartments, glazed balconies, winter gardens, etc., as well as in pavilions, shopping tents and other places where electric heating is the only possible.

Question: Why don't you have oil heaters? This is also a convector!

Answer: once popular in the CIS, Ukraine oil heaters have another principle of operation and are not convectors. They have a number of significant flaws that electroconvectors are not. As we try to offer our customers only the best, we had to abandon the oil heaters. We advise you to consider this type of instrument only in the case of an extremely limited budget.

Heater

The easiest and affordable heating device. Used to quickly warm up small rooms. Have a power of 2.0-2.5 kW. Compared to the oil radiator and convector, there are small dimensions. The tracks are located on the floor, on the table, and can also be attached to the wall.

Principle of operation:

In the fan heater, the air heats up from the hot spiral and the fan is supplied to the heating zone. The temperature of the open electrical helix is \u200b\u200babout 80 ° C, and the air at the outlet of the fan heater is always up to 20 ° C. To improve the uniform of the heating of the room, the fan turns into the housing. The body of the fan heater is usually plastic.

Advantages:

Very quickly heats the air and distributed over the volume of the room. Turn off in case of falling. Protected from overheating. Thanks to the thermostat, adjust the set temperature and do not require shutdown. Compact and aesthetic.

Disadvantages:

The resulting noise during work at elevated circulation. Air pollution due to oxygen burning and dust particles. Crashing dust, burning on a split spiral can make an unpleasant smell

INFRARED HEATER

Infrared heaters are the most advanced and cost-effective heaters. The quartz emitter is more suitable for temporary heating in case you do not need to dampen the room entirely.

Principle of operation:

Infrared heater Unlike traditional heaters, heats no air, but nearby objects. It radiates thermal energy (like the Sun), which is absorbed by surrounding surfaces (floor, walls, furniture, etc.) and people. Infrared heaters allow you to create zones with local heating and save electricity. Heat items and do not heat the air. Infrared heaters are designed for suspended ceilings, heating residential and non-residential premises, as well as people in open areas. They are used for heating bathrooms and shower rooms, terraces, balconies, cafes and restaurants.

Advantages: Electricity saving, Beshum, when installing above the workplace, infrared radiation heating provides comfortable conditions for a working person without heating the entire premises.

Avoid entering the jet of water to the overall helix (fan heaters);
Avoid clogging the apparatus of dust;
The lower the convector, the more efficient its work;
Do not cover the working device;
Do not use laundry drying devices
Do not use the device in wet rooms (shower, bathroom, pool);
the device must be only vertical (oil radiator);
Do not place an oil radiator near the low-melting products and is not closer to 50 cm from the furniture.

Air-air thermal pumps or air conditioners inverter

Heating with the help of inverter air conditioners

The heating systems based on the use of the heat pump differ in environmental purity, as they work without burning fuel and do not produce harmful emissions into the atmosphere. In addition, they are characterized by an efficiency: when applying to a heat pump, for example, 1 kW of electricity, depending on the mode of operation and operating conditions, it gives up to 3-5 kW of thermal energy. Among the advantages of the heat pump indicate a reduction in capital costs due to the absence of gas communications, an increase in dwelling safety due to the absence of explosive gas, the ability to simultaneously obtain from one installation of heating, hot water supply and air conditioning. Systems that carry heat in the opposite direction are often called thermal pumps.

Advantages:

Modern air conditioners are capable not only effectively cope with their historically the main task - cooling the air in the rooms, but also warm to warm. If over the past ten years on the Internet, hundreds of articles on the topic "Do not include air conditioning in winter" are written, today the situation changes. Manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin (Japan) taught their air conditioners to warmly warm even with external temperatures up to - 25 ° C.

What does this give to the buyer? We are like professional sellers of air conditioners finally hear such questions in a conversation with buyers:

"We need to warm up in winter, I want to put the air conditioner, what will you advise?" Let's figure it out in this matter.

Principle of operation of the heat pump:

The air conditioner works on the principle of the heat pump, which is radically different from the principle of operation of any electrical heater. The heat pump is capable of "pumping" heat outside inside. This means that even with minus outdoor temperatures it is possible to take heat from atmospheric air. How it works? Let's imagine such an effect: shed a little cologne or alcohol on the hand. What do we feel? Hand will immediately become cold. What happened? Alcohol evaporates very quickly, taking warmth. But there is a reverse process. If you make the liquid condense, it will bring warm with your parties. In nature, this process is almost not found in an obvious at least some noticeable without instruments. But experts recreated this process in the air conditioner. Freon under great pressure was forced to condense in the heat exchanger of the indoor unit, which is why it is warm (up to 60-80 degrees). Then the liquid freon is sent to the outer block, where it should turn into gas in a strongly fallen pressure again, that is, evaporate. Make Freon boiled in the outer block, collecting heat from atmospheric air is quite difficult, but for modern scientists it turned out to be only a problem.

Why do you need air conditioning in winter and how to use it? What can the potential buyer of the "heating" split system can calculate today? It is not necessary to design an independent system of heating a country house based on air conditioners. Still, it is economically quite controversial and temperatures in winter can fall below minus twenty. But in the urban apartment is a completely different matter.

Inverter conditioners capable of warm today at very low temperatures. Now about the practical side of the case. Electricity consumption. Inverter air conditioners capable of warm today at very low temperatures have a very high EER coefficient showing the ratio of the selected heat to the electricity spent. Almost this is a more familiar efficiency (efficiency). So this indicator today exceeds 4. This means that spending just two hundred fifty watts, we get more kilowatt heat! This is more than four times more economical than any electrical heater! It's profitable? Yes!

Disadvantages: Only one is the high cost of equipment compared to other heating devices.

What to choose? Let's bring a brief summary

Oil radiators are ideal for heating apartments. Silentness, efficiency and security are very important here. One heater is sufficient for heating a hall or bedroom. Oil radiators are equipped with wheels, and they can be easily transferred from the room to the room. For the summer, the oil radiator can be simply taken out in the barn or put in the storage room.

Convectors low temperature of the housing heating (about 60 ° C), due to which it does not "burn" oxygen due to the thermostat do not require a disconnection of high mobility (the presence of wheels makes it easy to move them from the room in the room) fireproof. Beshum. The possibility of fastening on any wall. High efficiency 99%. Quick heating of the room. Protected from overheating. The possibility of programming, convectors can be combined into an electrical heating system. Small dimensions. Smooth, flat block. Disadvantages There are no high price.

The fan heaters provide the highest heating rate of the room, but create an increased noise at high speed, and the model with an open spiral has a different drawback: they burn oxygen and contaminate air combustion products.

Infrared quartz emitters are used to heat certain sections of the room. It may well heat the workplace.

Thermal air-air pumps or air conditioners inverter provide a high heating rate of the room. Suitable for heating any premises. High efficiency when applying to a heat pump, for example, 1 kW of electricity, depending on the mode of operation and operating conditions, it gives up to 3-5 kW of thermal energy. To date, the thermal pump is the most economical type of heating of your room. He has only one disadvantage of the high cost of equipment compared to other heating devices.

Modern developments aimed at reducing electricity costs have become particularly popular in recent years. In this case, such devices also allow you to increase the efficiency of heating devices, controlling their operation. A common example is a thermostat for an infrared heater. Consider the features of its choice, connection and operation.

The thermostat is a device that produces periodic measurements of air temperature indoors and, depending on the results obtained, adjusts the operation of the heating device. That is, if the air temperature reached the marketer, the power is limited and the heater stops working. As soon as the air cools, the device comes into the active phase again, thus constantly supporting the desired level of heat in the room.

The design and principle of operation of devices regulating the temperature can differ significantly from each other. There are two main varieties of thermostats:

Mechanical.
Electronic.

The first variant of thermostators is a small plastic box, the outer part of which is equipped with a switch. As a rule, it is round, which allows you to smoothly change its position. The division value can be different, for example, in some models it is 1 °, and in the other, the transition takes place at once from 2 ° 5 ° and so on. In addition, the power button and the light indicator is located on the housing, indicating whether the device is active in this moment.

There are also more modern mechanical models of thermostators that are equipped with a display. True, the data is not so much data there, and the temperature control occurs with only two control buttons.

Helpful advice! Use the mechanical thermostat is convenient only if someone from the tenants are present in the house. This is an important point, since in the absence of people the device is better to turn off. The remote control function is not provided.

Electronic thermostators have much more opportunities in management. Design and design of these devices are constantly upgraded - even liquid crystal screens are used to make modern models.

Depending on the selected model, the configuration and control can be performed both using the buttons and sensory. In some devices to protect the screen, as well as creating a more attractive appearance, special folding covers use.

Such instruments without problems can be used even in those houses where the owners are often absent or staying seasonally. The device is easily programming and easily controlled remotely using mobile devices. The only difficulty in acquiring such a thermostat is quite high cost.

How to connect the thermostat to the infrared heater

Whatever of the above options you have chosen, it requires correct installation for its exact and correct operation. First of all, this is due to the choice of a suitable place, making which you should consider the following factors:

the device can harm high humidity;

nearby should not be sources of heat or sunlight.

If you do not take into account these factors, the temperature measurements will be inaccurate, which will lead to the incorrect operation of the heating device and its inability to maintain the necessary temperature in the house.

A separate question is the connection of the device itself to the network and the infrared heater. In order to connect all these elements among themselves, you need to use an automatic relay. It is it that will serve as a power source for. Consider several of the most common connectivity options.

Infrared Heater Connection Schemes

The fastest and understandable scheme for connecting the thermostat to the infrared heater is to use 1 thermostat per 1 heater. In this case, the connection scheme is as simple as possible: the machine has 2 pairs of wires, one of which goes to the thermostat. One wire is zero, another phase. And they must be connected accordingly. Using the second pair of wires, a connection is made with the heating device itself.

The second, a bit more complicated, the method of connecting the infrared heater through the thermostat involves the use of parallel connection. Thus, two heating instruments can be connected to one thermostator. One pair of wires from the machine can be connected to a thermostat, from which, in turn, a layout is made to two different heaters.

The most difficult, but at the same time, the most practical option is the use of one thermostator into several household heaters. For this purpose, you must use a magnetic starter, and the connection scheme is individually developed. Of course, you can try to find ready, but this method will not be able to completely guarantee the uninterrupted operation of the system.

Helpful advice! Pay special attention to the calculations and development of an individual plan is also because your safety depends on this. Faults in the heating system can lead to fire-hazardous situations.

There are even manufacturers that produce original magnetic starters to their devices, as well as the wiring kits required to connect them. Thanks to this, the connection is much simpler, and the quality of such goods is considered higher. But in any case, if earlier you did not deal with electricity, it is better to entrust the development of the circuit and connect the system to professionals.

Infrared heater with thermostat: prices and characteristics of three popular models

Wall and are pretty popular, their main advantage is compact size. In addition, buyers attract design and the ability to choose a model under the interior of the room. Below you can familiarize yourself with the characteristics and prices of several popular infrared heaters with the thermostat.

Nament 200. - One of the most modern infrared heating plates. Monitoring the dynamics of temperature change changes is regulated by the built-in thermostat. In addition, there is a security system that automatically turns off the device in case of a dangerous situation or the threat of fire.

The main characteristics of Naitan 200 heater:

ceramic panel;
size - 30x60 cm;
cool down for 90 minutes, continuing to highlight heat;
silent work;
maximum installation.

The distinguishing qualities of this panel can be called a huge selection of color solutions, as well as quite affordable cost - about 3,500 rubles.

Heater ZILON IR-0.8 S It was designed as a wall ceiling. This model can be fixed on any suitable surface. The kit provides a thermostat that adjusts the correspondence of the specified and real temperature parameters. To protect the device, automatic shutdown is provided in the case of overheating.

The main characteristics of ZILON IR-0.8 S:

power - 0.8 kW;
size - 119x13x4 cm;
weight - 3.2 kg;
does not affect carbon dioxide maintenance;
consumes the minimum amount of electricity.

Nevertheless, users indicate some disadvantages of using this model. So, while heating or cooling, the device makes characteristic crackling, which is not like everyone. And being located on the ceiling, not always enough can warm the floor. And yet, if we consider that the cost of such a heater is only 2400 rubles, the device can be called one of the most worthy.

Noirot ROYAT 2 1200 - Universal wall heater, equipped with three modes at once, which makes it use convenient throughout the year and in any room. The direction of heat flow can also be adjusted by turning the surface at different angles (up to 30 °). In order for regulation as convenient as possible, the developers took care of the possibility of fastening the control unit on both the right side and left.

Key Features Noirot Royat 2 1200:

quartz heating element;
three power modes - 0.3 / 0.6 / 1.2 kW;
size - 45x12x11 cm;
there is a thermostat and overheating fuse;
works silently.

Perhaps the only drawback of this device is quite high cost - about 9700 rubles. The rest of the device is considered reliable and often used to heat such premises as a bathroom.

Outdoor infrared heaters with thermostat

Another popular type of device is the floor-regulatory infrared heaters. The price of such devices is not very different from other options, however, due to their mobility, they are often more comfortable. If you wish to buy an infrared floor heater with a thermostat without difficulty, you can choose the appropriate specifically for your conditions the model among the extensive number of proposals.

As an example, we consider such a popular line as infrared chalit heaters, to connect the thermostat to which you can not independently, but it is very simple to pick up the model.

Connecting the infrared heater at the thermostat is occurring according to standard schemes. The controlling device is built into the heater housing.

One of the most popular models of heaters data is Ballu Bih-L Bali Series. Complete with this device provides a modern steel telescopic tripod BIH-LS-210. It provides a solid fixation of the device and allows you to use it on summer sites, verandas, in the garden.

The main characteristics of the heater Ballu Bih-L:

power 2-3 kW;
installation height on a tripod up to 4.5 m;
for uniform heating, equipped with a special reflector with fins;
the kit includes brackets for mounting to the surface;
the hull is made of steel;
connecting the thermostat to the infrared heater is produced by the manufacturer;
there is a function of controlling the heating of the device.

Such a model is considered the most universal, as it can be installed almost anywhere: in the house, on the street or veranda. By ensuring uniform heating, it creates a comfortable temperature for all who are within the radius of action, while not spending excess energy to heating air.

Helpful advice! As a stationary street heater, it is possible to consider the acquisition of an infrared umbrella designed specifically to create comfortable conditions in the yard.

Select the thermostat for the infrared heater

If we talk about the acquisition and connection of the thermostat to the infrared heater as a separate item, then here the main thing is to make the right choice when buying. Using a small table, you can compare several most accessible models.

What kind of model you want to purchase, depends only on your desires and opportunities. The diversity and functionality of the devices presented on sale can satisfy the demands of even the most demanding buyer. Today you can easily purchase both home or garden devices and, for example, infrared heaters with a thermostat for chicken coop or any other purposes.

It is difficult to underestimate the importance of use in the work of heating devices. After all, it is not only about maintaining a comfortable temperature at any time of the year, but also on significant savings and security. Especially considering the fact that to acquire the most simple mechanical thermostat for everyone.

The thermostat is an extremely popular device that meets us quite often. Without it, no water heater or boiler is heating. It participates in the heating of floors, the work of household appliances, engines and various kinds of heaters.

The task of the thermostat - control and maintenance in the automatic mode of the user-mounted temperatures (that is, thermostatting).

The principle of operation of the thermostat is cycled, including and turning off under the influence of a temperature sensor or biomechanical plate.

Connecting an infrared heater through a thermostat is carried out in order to control its operation: The thermostat uses the closure and opening of the electrical network - acts on the principle of the switch responding to the sensor.

Different types of thermostats work in the same principle. They differ only in the element base ("filling") and, accordingly, the "price price". The harder the device, the more it will have to pay for it. This issue should soberly assess your needs. Whether the thermostat will be used for all 100% or you can buy a cheaper model - the question is far from idle.

Much less often use mechanical thermostators for infrared heaters. Such a mechanism can also be found in the kitchen cooker or oven. It is not connected to power supply. Temperature control occurs due to heating and cooling the working membrane.

All thermostats are also divided into models for: open or and attaching a DIN rail.
On the working fluid, they are: liquid, solid and air.
Another division into groups concerns the temperature mode of operation. According to this feature there are the following types of thermostators:

for high temperatures - from 300 to 1200 degrees;
average temperatures - from 60 to 500 degrees;
low temperatures - below 60 degrees.

Rules for connecting the thermostat to the infrared heater

Installation of ceiling infrared heaters is an excellent way to enhance comfort in the house and reduce gas consumption by boiler heating. But simultaneously with the installation of such equipment there is a question about saving electricity and security. The heater must be equipped with a thermostat!

On a note. For private houses and urban apartments, the heater capacity should not be more than 3 kW. The external thermostat is also purchased to the same power.
Basic installation rules:

the height is not more than one and a half meters;
place of installation - wall;
under the thermostat for the IR heater, a heater is placed to prevent the device's sensor response to the low temperature of the wall;
only one thermostat is used for one room;
all the nuances of safe use are envisaged (it is impossible to close or cover anything like curtains).

Features of different installation schemes

IR Heater is connected standard, as well as all electrical appliances. It can be a connection through a socket or a separate line, conducted from a separate electrical protection. That is, there are two wires: neutral and phase.

The thermostat is mounted on the network between the machine and the heating device.
Simple scheme for one or two heaters:

The thermostat in the presence of four terminals: two input (phase and neutral) and two weekends (also "+" and "-").

If the heater is one:

from two veins are laid, which are connected to the corresponding terminals of the thermostat;
two wires are attached to the output terminals of the latter, taking into account polarity - they are connected to the IR heater. This is a sequential connection.

If the heater is two:

From the thermostat, you need to withdraw four wires (two phases and two neutrals) and breed wiring to heaters. This is the so-called parallel connection.
From the thermostat you need to withdraw two wires, bring them to one heater, and then to the second. This will be a sequential connection of two heaters.

In some cases, the phase is connected directly (from the automaton to the heater), and neutral through the thermostat. The disadvantage of this method is not exactly the correct operation of the thermostat.
Complete connection diagram for multiple heaters:

the thermostat connects to the power supply machine;
the output terminals are connected to the magnetic starter;
the emerging contacts of the starter are connected to the heater.

This type of compound is suitable for industrial heaters or several IR heaters. Ensures work in automatic mode.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that any powerful electrical appliances and the more heating or heating, require increased attention to safety measures. First of all, it concerns grounding. The heater must be equipped with sufficient thickness conductor with low resistance. In fact, the defense is obliged to remove the excess current of any unthinkable value. Human life depends on this!

The thermostat connection is not the simplest task. Even if you easily figured out in all the intricacies of the process, may not be enough toolkit skills. By mounted everything according to the schemes yourself, you need to ask for a specialist to check your work again.

We make the connection of the IR heater through the video thermal regulator

The thermostat is a device for automatic temperature control, installed on the heating equipment. It is inconvenient to use the heater without a thermostat, since it will have to constantly manually turn on the device depending on whether it is cold or hot in the room. In addition, manual way it will not be able to preliminarily warm the room, for example, before returning home from work.

It should also be noted the fire hazard of instruments that are not equipped with regulators if they are left included for a long time. And finally, the thermostat allows you to optimize the consumption of electricity in the room, as the automation includes the equipment only when it really needs.

Varieties of thermostators

There are three types of regulators:

electronic;
electromechanical;
mechanical.

Below, briefly understand the characteristics of each of them.

Electronic regulators

The thermostat with electronic filling has three components in its composition:

temperature sensor;
microprocessor responsible for processing and transmitting information;
thermaller, thanks to which the control is carried out.

The main advantage of electronic regulators is a high accuracy with which the room temperature is determined, efficient and simple temperature control.

Electronic thermostators are applied not only in oil heaters, but also to organize the management of larger heating systems (for example, a "smart home").

Electromechanical regulators

Electromechanical devices based on the relay are much easier than electronic devices. There are several types of electromechanical regulators:

The first group devices include a group of contacts and a dual metal plate. When the equipment is heated, the plate is disintegrated and, thus, opens a group of contacts. The consequence of the opening is to stop the supply of electricity to the heating plate. When the heater is cooled, the plate is returned to the starting point, and the electrical panel starts working in the same mode, since the contacts are closed again. The cyclicity of work allows you to maintain the temperature level at approximately the same level.
Devices equipped with relays work on the principle of expanding its elements as a result of heating. The relay is a cylindrical tube, which contains a responsive substance to heating. The pipe is in the tank with water. When the heater temperature rises, the substance in the pipe expands. When the temperature reaches a certain value, the extended content affects the electrical circuit using the drive, resulting in a closure or opening of contacts. Such a way it is possible to avoid overheating of equipment.

Mechanical

Machine type regulators are most simply arranged. Such thermostats are conventional shut-off valves. The design of the device includes a cylinder with a rod, which is filled with a thermally sensitive substance. As a result of the expansion of the substance during heating, the rod is partially or completely overlaps the coolant flow in the system.

Typical breakdowns of oil heaters

Before proceeding to eliminate the problem, it is necessary to diagnose. Below are several tips that will help find out the cause of the fault:

Crack after turning on does not mean breakdown. Most likely, we are talking about the heating of the oil inside the radiator. Also, the cracks may be a consequence of slopes or heater drops, the result of which was the displacement of oil and air. Lower the noise level will help installing equipment on an ideally smooth surface.
If the radiator does not turn on, it is necessary to exclude the outlet from the list of potential problems, connecting the device to another source of electricity. By the degree of prevalence, the breakdown can be built in the following sequence: the contact, the problem with the fork, the cord damage is made.
If the device submits external signs of operation (light bulbs are included, fans rotate), but does not heat up, the problem is most likely in the thermostat. You can replace this item with your own hands.
The absence of heating can also indicate a malfunction of the heating element. In this case, it is not recommended to repair on their own, you will need the help of a qualified specialist.
You can talk about the thermostat malfunction in the case when the heater does not turn off after reaching the required temperature.

Electrician

If the reason for breakage in the electrics, you will need a special device - multimeter.

With this device check:

feed fork and sockets;
no short circuit between heater elements.

Often the problem is the burnout of the wires at the points of their connections. Develop equipment and check all the switch keys.

To check, use a multimeter in the following positions:

the "Included" position will be short circuit;
the "Disabled" position will not be any reaction.

Checking the multimeter regulator. The resistance level should be insignificant in the absence of short circuit.

We disassemble the case and evaluate the status of the contacts in the control unit: they can be weakened, distorted or oxidized. If the contacts oxidized, they will help them with alcohol, as well as stripping sandpaper and isolation. The best isolator is a fiberglass insulating tape capable of withstanding a 200-degree temperature. Weed contacts tighten with a screwdriver, distorted by changing. After working with the contacts, we once again check the equipment for the presence of short circuit.

Thermal stations

Fuses may be several. After the transclock and detection of the blurred fuse, we remove it. Install a new fuse, and insulating wiring.

Bimetallic plate

If the plate has undergone deformation, it must be changed.

Procedure:

We disassemble the thermostat.
Install the heating temperature to a minimum.
Remove the thermostat handle from the screw, we spin the nuts, remove the frame.
We change the bimetallic plate for a new one.

Strong damage to the plate often provokes to flow oils.

Oil leak

In this case, you will need to repair the tank. This is not always justified, since the tank is easier to replace. However, if it was decided to repair work, you need to consider the following nuances:

Tan Malfunction

This detail of the oil radiator is not subject to repair work, it must be changed. However, the replacement of the Tan is possible only if it is removable. The new item is selected based on the required power. The best material from which high-quality TEN is manufactured is copper.

When installing the Tan, pay attention to the joint of this part with the case. The gasket should be treated with a sealant, although in the future, probably need repeated sealing. It is possible to establish a new tan on an incentened construction, but in this case it will be very difficult to produce a rolling part.

Position sensor

This security element is a load, when changing the angle of which an instrument automatically turns off. To check the work of this part, it is necessary to put the cap heater and perform a call transclon. If the sensor is faulty, it is not subject to repair.

When choosing a thermostat, it is recommended to give preference to well-proven manufacturers to manufacturers, since this item is part of the general system and its malfunction can cause an emergency room in the room. It is also necessary to take into account all the peculiarities of the right organization of the heating system, including the area of \u200b\u200bthe room and the capacity of the equipment.

Oil radiators are in great demand, so you can meet them in almost every home. And it is not surprising, because the oil heater is compact and very convenient to use.

However, despite all its advantages, one explicit deficiency in the functioning of an oil radiator is: high energy consumption. In order for electrical energy to be less consumed, the thermostat is intended. It monitors the operation of the heater, turning off heated to the desired temperature and including when it is cooled.

KST401 16A / 250V Oil Radiator Thermostat / 250V / 70 ° C

The thermostat is designed to automatically adjust the temperature. The heater without a thermostat is inconvenient to use, because On and turning off the device, depending on the room temperature, you will have to manually implement. If you want the room to warm during your absence, then it will not be possible to do this manual way. Moreover, heaters that are not equipped with thermostators are fireless, if they do not turn them off for a long time.

thermostat

There are 3 types of thermostators for oil radiators:

mechanical;
electromechanical;
electronic.

The main difference lies in the device for the oil radiator. In other words, the method with which the thermal sensor fixes the temperature and opens the chain, each view is different.

Consider the characteristics of each type.

Electronic thermostat Based on the three main components:

temperature sensor;
microprocessor that processes and transmits information;
termasale.

Electronic regulators are distinguished by the high accuracy of determining the temperature in the room, as well as they are easy to control.

Electromechanical thermostators divided into several groups:

The first group includes contacts and a dual metal plate. When the device is heated, the plate is strung out and opens the contact group. As a result - electricity ceases to be supplied to the heating plate. When the radiator cools, the plate returns to the starting point and begins to function in the same mode.
The second group is appliances equipped with relays. The relay is represented by a cylindrical pipe in which the substance is responsive to heating. The pipe is placed in water tank. When the temperature of the oil heater rises, the substance is expanding. When the temperature reaches the desired level, the extended substance has an effect on the electrical circuit by means of the drive. As a result, it is closed or opening the contacts and eliminates the overheating of the device.

Mechanical thermostat Look like ordinary shut -ling fittings. The device is designed from a cylinder with a rod in which a sensitive substance is located. When heated, the substance expands, the rod overlaps the coolant flow in the system.

By choosing the thermostat, give preference to proven brands that have positive user feedback.
