• Technical characteristics

  • The Comfort Calor® heat radiating panel, warms using two thermal principles: 1) Radiated heat, for approximately 80 to 85%. 2) Convective heat, for approximately 15 to 20%.
  • 1. The radiated heat is the heat which is transmitted via electromagnetic waves, whose wave length is in the range of infra-red waves. Such waves penetrate the air almost completely, without losing their strength and effectiveness. Their effectiveness rests with the fact that, the radiated heat waves do not heat the air itself, but only release their heat, once they come into contact with solid bodies or surfaces. This is a typical effect portrayed by solar rays during cold winter days. When we expose ourselves to the sun’s rays, we enjoy and absorb their heat when they reach our skin.
  • Radiated heat, within the various heat forms, is considered, physiologically, the most beneficial, and the most pleasant, in so much as, the heat perceived by us, is higher than the effective ambient air temperature which surrounds us.
  • 2. The convective heat mode consists of the circulation of cold air passing the lower part, or hot zone of the radiating heat panel. This effect, allows the heated air to rise upwards towards the ceiling, thus heating the upper part of the room. The air then continues its natural circulation, cooling down at its highest point, thus returning toward the floor, heating, and restarting the heat cycle.(This is the principal of traditional heat radiators)
  • The Comfort Calor® heat radiating panel consists of two sheets of clear tempered glass, each with a thickness of 5mm, alternatively, if the mirror effect panel is chosen, the make-up consists of a clear sheet of tempered glass, in addition to a mirrored sheet of 5mm. Further finishes; consist of painted, decorated and printed panels in multiple finishes.
  • Within the binding of the two glass panels, there is a technically advanced and ultra-thin electrically powered heating sheet.
  • The ultra-thin heating sheet incorporates:
  • - An electronically controlled temperature relieving probe, for the monitoring of the heat inside the heating panel;
  • - One or more thermal heat overload sensors.
  •  
  • The above two characteristics, guarantee the maximum protection and safety. Fitted to the rear of the heating panel, there is an electronic control box which is able to control in percentage, the power absorption of the unit. There are four pre-imposed settings, which are noted hereunder:
  • - Position 1 – This level is set at 25%, with a surface temperature of approximately 50°C.
  • - Position 2 – This level is set at 50%, with a surface temperature of approximately 59°C.
  • - Position 3 – This level is set at 75%, with a surface temperature of approximately 68°C.
  • - Position 4 – This level is set at 100%, with a surface temperature of approximately 75°C.
  •  
  • With the above settings, one can create the desired ambient temperature comfort. During its operating phase, the Comfort Calor® heat radiating panel maintains the correct balance of humidity relative to the air in the room, and if it’s compared to a traditional heat radiator there is a notable reduction in the circulation of dust particles in the air, with no noise emission or unpleasant odours.
  • The Comfort Calor® heat radiating panel does not require any maintenance or periodic technical checks, and is very easy to clean.
  • The Comfort Calor® heat radiator is easy to install, and comes complete with steel supports fitted to the panel, and brackets for wall mounting.
  • The Comfort Calor® heat panel is fitted with a power cable and plug, which can be connected to a normal single phase 220V household electrical circuit. Available electronic options with the Comfort Calor® heat panel consist of a timer, allowing for an automatic switching off of the unit. This option can be set for an operating time of up to two hours.
  • Furthermore, there is the option of a heat controlling thermostat, allowing one to maintain the required ambient heat temperature. Both of the above options are integrated into the electronic control box.
  • * Above shown temperature readings were recorded in an ambient of 20°C.
