Carbon heaters received a patent in Japan. The new product attracted buyers by its economical consumption of electricity and relatively rapid heating of space. The market of heating appliances includes many types of energy-efficient heaters. It is interesting in this device a lot, because it is completely different from those electric cars, which are usually used to support the heat in the premises.

Carbon heater - energy-saving heater
With the onset of cold weather in the off-season, the first thing that comes to mind is to get a heater. But, after a couple of minutes, the head counts electricity consumption. Some devices so quickly eat energy, which can cause financial loss. This applies to oil heaters, blowers, electric fireplaces, convectors. Despite the abundance of appliances for heating the premises, the current market has been replenished with a completely different model - a carbon heater.
In 2000, energy-saving heaters received a patent in Japan. Their work is based on tubes with an airless medium in which carbon fiber is placed. Quartz tubes are a novelty of the modern carbon heater. Carbon fiber has a much greater thermal conductivity than the metallic heating elements of conventional heat sources. For this reason, new generation heat appliances require twice as much energy consumption.
Consider an example, let's say that you purchased an energy-saving heater, its power is 800 W, it will be much more progressive than a radiator with a power of 1.8 kW. In addition, carbon fiber is not susceptible to corrosion, unlike the metal plates and spirals that are the basis of the heat units.
The principle of the carbon heater is to warm up surrounding objects. In just a couple of minutes the device heats an armchair or other furniture to a depth of 2 cm. It turns out that the temperature in the room starts to rise due to the heat generated by the same chair.
Infrared rays can give heat not only to objects, but also to humans. Returning from the cold air, you can sit next to the heater and enjoy the penetration of cozy warmth. Many tests in Japanese laboratories prove that radiation is absolutely safe for humans. Carbon type heaters do not absorb oxygen, and "excess" heat circulates throughout the room under the influence of infrared rays without the possibility of overheating. But some caution is still necessary to follow the instructions, they will be lower.
Infrared carbon heater
The heater with infrared radiation irrespective of the model and the manufacturer firm has almost always identical design - mesh panel, lamps and orange / red illumination. The difference lies in the size, number of tubes, rotation and, of course, the type of attachment. The following types of carbon heaters are distinguished by the type of attachment:
- infrared heater wall-mounted;
- infrared heater ceiling;
- infra-red heater outdoor.
Infrared heater for wall
One of the convenient to install and place is a wall-mounted infrared heater. Usually it is mounted in such a way that it is convenient for them to operate remotely or to connect it to the network. The expanded set of carbon heat-powered equipment has a remote control, so you can control the heating time, temperature, delay in starting.
Place the wall-mounted infrared heater in walls with any coating. The fact is that heat emits only the front side of the device, the rear profiles are protected by a housing that can not be heated above 45 ° C.
Most buyers choose this type of heater for its mobility. As a rule, heat equipment occupies some space in the premises. However, wall mounting will save space for other things.
A novelty among the carbon appliances with a wall arrangement is a heater-picture. Now you can forget about the dull orange design and enjoy beautiful views of the panel. Infrared rays will warm up the room space through the film of the wall-mounted accessory.
Infrared Ceiling Heater
Like the first type of carbon heater, the ceiling heater has many positive sides in the installation. Ceiling placement will not save space space, will evenly warm the air from ceiling to floor. At the same time, air circulation will be natural. The heated particles of the ambient background will gradually rise upward, while maintaining a constant temperature.
It is more advisable to choose heaters for ceiling mounting that have remote control. First, you do not need to reach the ceiling to turn the device on and off. And, secondly, even if you will manage the heat source from the unit, it is better to give preference to rotary models that can heat the space from different angles.
Carbon Floor Heater
A floor heater is the only type of heating device that can be freely moved between office walls, garage compartments or home rooms. With a wall or ceiling unit this will not be easy. In addition, you can rotate the floor heat source at your discretion, choose a heating angle for it, move towards you closer or further, depending on the desired distance. There are also automatic devices with remote control. The heating angle on these units is controlled by the remote control or the keypad on the body of the device.
Some users of carbon heaters are not ready to purchase a floor version. Explaining its appearance is cumbersome. Indeed, heaters have a different size in height. In general, the volume of a thermal unit with infrared radiation determines its power. The larger the heater of the carbon type, the more space it can heat. As a rule, large installations are used in the walls of the office or in the classrooms for heating large areas. For the home choose small mobile devices that will not interfere with the passage.
Despite the fact that the heaters are floor-mounted, many models are equipped with special stands, which protect them from falling.
Carbon heaters pluses and minuses
Let's talk first about the positive aspects of the modern device. Of course, there are a lot of them, and even, you can say, the pluses occupy the most part in the characteristics of the heater. Of course, the carbon aggregates have their shortcomings, but rather, they relate to certain models:
pluses of carbon heaters
- The first and main advantage is that this kind of heater is economical in terms of electricity consumption. Carbon fiber, in its essence, is a converter. All that it consumes from electrical energy, it recycles into heat. As a result, the filaments worked very well - they consumed electricity at minimum and produced heat. This results in savings, which can not but please the consumer;
- Convenient carbon heaters and the fact that you can buy it of varying power from several tens of watts to several thousand. Thus, you can place the heater near your feet under the office table at work or equip the production room;
- To your taste and purse, you can choose a device with a mechanical or remote control;
- Infrared carbon heater - this is the heat device that can transmit heat from the first seconds to the human body. Suppose you are very cold in the street to keep warm, you just turn on the heat and send it to your side. Literally in 2-3 seconds you will begin to feel safe rays of heat;
- Thanks to infrared radiation, the heater transfers directed heat to objects, not glowing ambient air and not burning oxygen;
- Carbon heaters are protected against overheating, which allows the device to shut down at the right time without breakdowns and complete failure. This also includes protection against the penetration of various objects. The heaters have a protective metal mesh. The smaller the manufacturer's installation, the better for the heater.
minuses of carbon heaters
- One of the disadvantages of carbon heaters is the high cost. The novelty of the domestic market still exceeds the cost of oil coolers capable of heating the same area of the premises, as well as blowers and convectors;
- Use an infrared heater with caution. Despite radiation safety, you can not dry things on a heat meter or touch a metal screen while working;
- Paintwork surfaces should be removed from the heat meter. The rays destroy the coating, making it unfit for use;
- When using carbon heaters at a distance of less than 30 cm from furniture or other items, it is possible to burn them with rays. This mainly applies to floor units;
- A lot of noise was noticed during the operation of the rotary instruments. Preferably, do not set the rotation mode during rest;
- Sometimes the tubular elements may crack. As a rule, this happens at the stage of heating and cooling;
- Friability of lamps. Although the devices also have protective installations in the form of a metal mesh, stand against falling for floor models, it is necessary to handle the heater with care.
Criteria for choosing a carbon heater
- Before purchasing a carbon heater, decide on where the heater will be located: on the floor, on the wall or on the ceiling. For those who do not have excess space in the room, a wall or ceiling unit is suitable, for large premises it is advisable to use a floor heater;
- No less important criterion in choosing any heater is the power. Carbon type means low-power heaters of 300-800 W, which are suitable for local heating, heaters with medium power, suitable for domestic use and units with infrared radiation for industrial scales, for example, for heating the workshop, exhibition hall, the audience;
- Type of management. Think about whether it will be easy for you to cope with the instrument lying on the bed or being at the other end of the room. If you are ready for simple operation, then you will be able to cope with the work of the device using the buttons on the heater housing. For remote control, some models have consoles;
- Type of heating element (halogen lamps, ceramic, quartz, mikatermicheskie). The first type of lamps is impractical, since it emits short waves that are not capable of heating for a distance of more than 1 m. Ceramic lamps are short-lived. Quartz colors have a red color, which is unpleasant for long viewing. The most optimal option for an economical heater is a microthermal heating element, which has a long service life;
- If you want to use the device for a long time, for example, during the night, then to maintain a constant temperature in the carbon instrument there must be a thermostat;
- Sensors. Most models have an overheat protection sensor. Check its availability if necessary. Also often sold units with rollover sensors, which are relevant for floor models;
- Remote control. Suitable for wall and ceiling heaters;
- Angle of rotation. If you plan to heat the allocated zones, it is better to purchase a heater with an adjustable slope.
Carbon infrared heaters reviews
Reviews for carbon heater NeoClima NC-CH-3000;
Kosinov Mikhail
We have been using this model for more than three months. The heater is powerful. I can not say that the electricity intake is minimal, but since the heater was bought into the office, this criterion is not so important for us. Another shortcoming is a short wire. It is inconvenient to change the location. Otherwise, the choice is very successful: minimal warm-up, high power, convenient design;
Natalya Lagoda
Quickly heats up, the case is reliable, there is a carrying handle. The design work is coordinated, the heat transfer is good.
