Nobo convector electric heaters are reliable and efficient heating devices. They quickly heat the room, perfectly maintain the required temperature, economically use electricity, thanks to built-in thermostats.
How Nobo Heaters Work
The device is based on the laws of physics - the laws of heat exchange and circulation in a medium containing gas. Since warm air is lighter than cold, it collects in the upper part of the room. During heating, the air flows rise, after cooling, they go down. Thus, natural air convection occurs.
Cold air is drawn in through openings in the lower part of the case; in the upper part, the same ones are present for the outlet of the heated. TEN (heating element) is most often located at the bottom. It heats the volume of air that is inside the structure. With the help of thermoregulation in the house, the set temperature is maintained.
Specifications
Nobo heaters are distinguished by the following thermotechnical properties:
- Noiselessness. Since there is no forced air injection during operation of the device, there are no noises.
- The ability to place on the wall.
- Safety. All connections and the heating element are double insulated.
- Moisture protection. In this regard, the device can be placed in the bathroom.
- The ability to adjust and set the same temperature on several convectors simultaneously.
- The presence of an antifreeze regime. In the case of setting the latter, the heaters consume a minimum of electrical energy, maintain a temperature of + 5 ° C.
Warranty repairs apply to all Nobo products during the first 10 years of use. Heating devices can operate up to 30 years in continuous operation.
Advantages and disadvantages
Nobo electric convectors have the following advantages:
- A variety of designs (mounted, floor).
- Heaters are produced in different capacities - from 0.05 kW to 2 kW.
- There is the opportunity to connect several devices into one circuit, and then control them using Nobo Energy Control.
- Long term of operation.
Disadvantages:
- Sometimes the temperature of the outer casing exceeds the stated in the instructions 45 degrees.
- High price.
- There are few designer models.
- The heater will pick up dust in the room.
The last negative characteristic is the disadvantage of all heaters, it does not depend on the manufacturer.
Selection of Nobo heaters
When buying a convector, it is recommended to pay attention to such criteria:
- dimensions;
- power;
- noise level;
- the presence of a remote control.
For home use, heating appliances from the Bali or Viking series, with a power of 600 watts, are perfect. If you need to heat rooms of a larger area (from 12 to 19 m2), you should pay attention to more powerful models.
The choice of power is performed based on:
- 70 W per 1 m², if the room has normal thermal insulation;
- 100 W per 1 m², if there is no other source of heat.
The total heating capacity of the room is calculated using standard tables.The difference in values is explained by the unequal thermal conductivity of the walls of various types of structures.
Heater installation
There is a mounting frame on the back of the device. It is removed, attached to the wall with four screws, taking into account the installation dimensions.
It is necessary to observe a distance from the front panel of the heater to a nearby object of at least 5 cm. Dimensions are measured from the body itself, and not from the frame for mounting.
Causes and troubleshooting
In Nobo convector heaters during operation, malfunctions can occur. Most of them are the fault of users due to violation of the operating rules.
- The most common malfunctions in the operation of convectors and preventive measures to prevent them:
- After switching on, the heater does not heat up, the lamps on the thermostat do not light up. Actions: check the correct installation of the thermostat, if it is removable, test the contact of the plug of the heater electric wire.
- Independent transition from one mode to another. Correct the situation will help the connection using a voltage regulator.
- Frequent shutdowns due to overheating. May occur due to improper selection and installation of the heater. Action: to ensure free air flow at the bottom of the convector and unhindered outflow of hot flow at the top.
- Different temperature in the room. Observed in case of improper installation location. Ideally, it is recommended to install several convectors so that they can be placed in colder places.
If the Nobo heater did not break through the fault of the user, you should contact the service center for warranty repair.
Service and Safety
The main requirements:
- twice a year you need to brush the lower and upper grilles from contamination with a brush or vacuum cleaner;
- wipe the heater body with a cloth (dry or wet) without the use of aggressive detergents.
Safety rules prohibit:
- closing (full or partial) of the upper or lower gratings;
- placement of flammable objects on the heater;
- squeezing the front panel of the convector;
- setting the maximum temperature without the need;
- self-service.
It is strictly forbidden to leave the Nobo heater working in case of prolonged absence of users.
Before buying a convector heater, it is recommended to consult a specialist who will help you choose the right model.
