A guide to heating What is heat? The human body as a walking heat machine Ever felt ‘under the weather’? It’s a fact that weather has short and long term effects on our bodies. We’re very good at losing heat but not quite so efficient at retaining it. We all react differently to weather and temperature variations, and very young, fragile or older people will be more susceptible than most, with women generally having a higher level of sensitivity than men.
Running costs explained It is very difficult to be precise on actual running costs for an individual room/ property as this will vary according to many factors such as lifestyle, weather conditions, correct sizing of heater, appliance selected and room temperature required, so the information given below should be taken as a rough guide only. Direct acting appliances One of the common misconceptions about heating is that different types of heaters are more expensive to run than other types.
Quantum ENERGY SYSTEM A new concept in electric heating Quantum is a revolutionary system that combines state-of-the-art electric heating with an economical demand response management tool and is the culmination of three years’ research and development. Quantum is designed to use low cost, low carbon energy from renewable sources, such as solar photovoltaics and wind turbines. It has the ability to store this energy during periods of low demand, turning it into cheap, efficient heat only when it’s needed.
Quantum ENERGY SYSTEM 2. The Quantum Cylinder* 3. The Quantum Hub* 1. The Quantum Room Heater Class-leading and intuitive, smart energy storage water vessel. Think of the Quantum Hub as an optional system manager.
Quantum ENERGY SYSTEM Exceptional control The Quantum Room Heater will: • Intelligently monitor weather and usage patterns, learning from and adapting to them, delivering heat accordingly • Work seamlessly with the grid, using off-peak tariffs whenever possible to minimise user costs and maximise efficiency • Closely follow target room temperature, intuitively adjusting settings to maintain this to within a fraction of a degree C • Respond quickly to changing climate and room temperature conditions, and al

PANEL HEATERS Introduction to panel heaters • Having low thermal inertia, thus heating up rapidly in response to immediate heating needs • Having a gas filled or electronic thermostat, avoiding room temperature ‘drift’ • Having a range of controls which allows the user to time their heating requirements in line with their occupancy patterns The Dimplex range achieves this by using convection to heat a space up quickly, meaning that the room is warm for the period of time selected.
rating of dwellings (SAP 2012 Version 9.92 Dec 2011) also draws no distinction between panel, convector or radiant heaters, water or oil filled radiators, fan heaters or portable electric heaters – each has an efficiency of 100% and a responsiveness of 1. The European Commission Study of Local Room Heating products (DG Ener Lot 20) states: “Since the ‘heat generation efficiency’ is always 100%. It does not allow comparing the energy performance of electric room heaters.
