- The housing is protected against dust accumulation.
- Installation can be floor and wall.
- The equipment is silent, because its operation is based on the principle of natural convection.
The heating process in electric convectors occurs due to the passage of air through the built-in heating element. Using a convective device is very convenient. Management is carried out by an electronic programmer. The thermostat measures the temperature in automatic mode and changes the intensity of heating the air every 45 seconds. In case of overheating, the device turns off.
The Bork convective heater can work without interruption. The working life of such a device, according to the manufacturer, is about 20 years.

The principle of operation of Bork heaters
Methods of functioning of heating devices:
- Oil heaters. The body is filled with mineral oil having a high boiling point. Elements in the oil fluid are heated by electricity. By convection, heated air flows are distributed throughout the room. Such heaters are characterized by a large area of the heating part. The intensity of heating the room is determined by the power of the radiator.
- Convection heaters. The room is heated by the passage of air through the heating elements, which can be metal or ceramic. The circulation occurs due to the different densities of warm and cold air. The heating part of the device has a large area.
- Ceramic heaters. A distinctive feature of such devices is the presence of a special panel made on the basis of ceramics. The principle of operation is the creation and use of forced convection. The latter is carried out due to the heating of the ceramic element and its further blowing by fans. In this way, heated air currents are evenly distributed over the entire area of the room.
Ceramic models of fan heaters are considered the safest, since their heating elements during operation are of moderate temperature.
