TRENCH HEATING – www.Trenchstyle.co.uk
Trench heaters are types of radiators. What radiators do basically is to exchange heat. In more professional terms, a radiator is a set of devices that is capable of transferring thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of heating up space. They transfer heat mainly by the method of convection, hence their alternative name, convectors.
Prussian-born Russian, Franz San Galli, invented the first heating radiator between 1855 and 1857. Since then radiators have been, apart from the traditional fireplace, effective in heating up homes and buildings. Nowadays, however, wall mounted radiators and trench heaters or trench heating systems are more commonly used to heat up spaces in residential and commercial buildings.
A trench heater is a steel, box-like device or casing, long and rectangular in shape.it is a device meant to be fitted into the ground, in a trench, as the name implies. Inside this box is a convector unit connected up to the heating system and completed with a very important feature, the Grille. The wider, deeper and longer the trench is dictates the size of heating element or convector unit that the trench heater will contain. This is a determinant factor of the amount of heated air that is given out.
The Trench Heating system can either be water-based or electricity based. The grilles allow for passage of cold air into the trench. The cold air is warmed up through natural convection by the convector unit. The hot air rises naturally through the grille and spreads throughout the room.
Trench Heaters can be fitted with fan assist, this draws air through the heat exchanger significantly improving the BTU output.
Trench heaters, because of their structure, can be fitted anywhere in the home, office, hotels or restaurants. They are devices that stay beneath the ground and so can be set up around edges or perimeters of rooms. They can also be fixed under patio doors or glazed façades. They provide aesthetic value to the home and take up far lesser space than wall-mounted radiators. They are as a result unobtrusive or less disruptive. Also, because they use “low water high” heat output element, they are more efficient.
With trench heaters, heat is distributed evenly, taking out the possibility of cold spots or draughts.
The kind of finishing done for the grilles determines the amount of heat that comes out. Output range of heat is expressed in Watts and BTUs (British Thermal Units). The EN 16430 test procedure is used to determine the performance of trench heating systems. Thermostats, room thermostatic valves and Smart control are devices that can be used to control heat output. They allow for activation of heating system when needed.
