Elpan/Wanpan Heating Versus Baseboard Heaters

When it comes to baseboard heaters everybody pictures old fashion and bulky heating equipment, mounted at the lower level of the wall. These days, modern and updated baseboarClick to enlarged heaters are having significantly better design.

However, they are usually found to be mounted at the location bellow windows and installed on one or two walls of the room. At the point of heat distribution, when baseboard heaters are installed on one or two walls of the room, they are functioning as regular radiators. Indoor design is interrupted by baseboard heaters, not to mention, that there will be no energy savings comparing with traditional radiators as well as the thermal encirclement is not achieved.

In addition, when baseboard heaters are chosen as the heating option for premises, regular baseboards (wood or synthetic) need to be installed and the purchase/installation price applies.

Heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating system is mounted at the location of wood or synthetic baseboards and eliminates the cost of traditional baseboards as well as the cost of their installation. Elpan/Wanpan heating versus traditional baseboard heaters by many points – energy efficiency, healthy environment, low inertia and sophisticated indoor design.

Efficiency of Elpan/Wanpan Heating System in Comparison with Traditional Radiators

Efficiency of Elpan/Wanpan heating system in comparison with heat efficiency using traditional radiators is backed up by scientific tests. The thermal encirclement and heat distribution are main factors to define efficiency of any kind of heating system. Elpan/Wanpan heating panels are mounted around the perimeter of room. click to enlargeIt does not take much time to heat premises when heat is rising up (30%) and at the same time flows into the center of the room (70%). 

In short period of time, using Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system, the most even temperature (0.5 degree of C – red lines) between the floor level and bellow the ceiling is achieved and minimum heat convection as well as the minimum heat consumption takes place.

Traditional radiators are mounted on one or two walls and therefore, the highest air convection is registered in the room. Big difference (5-7 degrees of C – blue lines) of temperature between the floor level and bellow the ceiling leads to higher air convection as well as higher heat losses and lower heating efficiency.

Upper blu line – the temperature bellow the ceiling, using traditional radiators. Lower blu line – the temperature at the floor level, using traditional radiators. Upper red line – temperature bellow the ceiling, using Elpan/Wanpan heating system. Lower red line – the temperature at the floor level, using Elpan/Wanpan heating system.

Traditional radiators are mounted on one or two walls and therefore, the highest air convection is registered which leads to higher heat losses and lower heating efficiency. Efficiency of Elpan/Wanpan heating system in comparison with traditional radiators is clearly iliustrated by the difference of temperatures in between the floor level and bellow the ceiling.

Radiant Heat Distribution Describes Efficiency of Heating System

Distribution of Heat – is the main factor which describes the efficiency of any heating system. This is well known fact by scientists, engineers and other professionals.   

  Any type of local heat source, e.g. radiator or fan-assisted baseboard heater has to produce a large volume of surplus heat by convection or forced air to reach all areas and corners of the room.

This results in uneven temperature extremes and excessive heat closer to the heat source and at “high-out-of-reach” levels close to the ceiling, but with “cold spots” in the corners and at the floor level.

The skirting board heating modules of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating systems allow radiant heat to be released in a uniform and controlled manner around the perimeter of the room, literally “stretching” the available energy-heat to provide maximum operational efficiency and an even temperature conditions.
