The benefits of Quantum Quantum is designed to be a responsive heating system that meets your comfort requirements while optimising energy use. The heater releases heat in two ways: 1. A small amount of heat is dispersed by ‘natural’ convection and radiation from the heater case. 2. The vast majority of heat is released using the builtin fan that pushes hot air out from the heat outlet grille at the bottom of the product.
Function NOTE Compared with traditional storage heaters the amount of energy released from the outer case of the heater is significantly reduced, resulting in lower surface DUE TO THE LOW ENERGY LOSSES FROM temperatures. This allows more efficient running THE CASING OF THE HEATER THE SURFACE because the Quantum is heating the room only when TEMPERATURE MAY APPEAR TO BE LOW, BUT you want it to. THIS IS NORMAL.
