ECOMBI AND THE TRADITIONAL
ELECTRIC STORAGE SYSTEMS
During the autumn, the cold winter and into spring, your heating system will have to deal with different temperatures.
The operating of a traditional Electric Storage System is simple: storing all the heat possible while it is being charged,
coinciding with the Time-Of-Use (TOU) or Time-Of-Day (TOD) low cost off-peak electricity tariff, and releasing it into
the room during the rest of the day.
The greatest advantage of these traditional systems is their ability to provide a comfortable temperature at a really
affordable price all day long.
STATIC STORAGE HEATER
In the case of Static Storage Heaters, also manufactured by ELNUR, the charge control is regulated by the “Dual
Sensor” patented system. This system will switch the charging of the units on and off according to the temperature
readings taken inside the equipment, inside the room and outside the home.
The “Dual Sensor” system of a GABARRÓN Static Storage Heater can help to cut electricity consumption by 15%
compared to other static storage heaters in the market which do not include this system.
FAN-FORCED STORAGE HEATER
In the case of Dynamic Storage Heaters (Fan Forced), the charging is performed in a similar way, but the main
advantage of this system is how the release of the stored heat is controlled and the option of the stored heat being
released when the customer really requires it. These storage heaters are ideal for large and open areas. If the user
manages the temperature optimally, storage heaters can result in an energy saving of 25%.

A Static Storage Heater normally
uses the complete off peak charging
period to load its core of energy at
100%. It will release this stored heat
during the release period.
By including the DUAL SENSOR
module, savings can be increased
by 15%.
A Fan Forced Storage Heater will not
use the complete off peak charging
period because it will not discharge
completely the heat during the
release period. It will only release
the heat when it is strictly needed
and programmed by the user.
By using Fan Forced Storage Heater
with a programmer, savings can be
increased by 25%.
