Mycothermal heater what it is: the principle of operation, device, pluses of the device.

Currently, the market is represented by a wide variety of heaters that operate on an electrical network. And one of the most striking innovations of recent times has become a mycothermal heater, which manufacturers are positioning as an infrared heat source. What are the features of this device and what criteria should be considered when purchasing?

What is a mycothermal heater

These are relatively new units that have recently appeared on the domestic market. They are produced based on new technical developments. The production of such devices was mastered not only by foreign, but also by Russian enterprises, whose products are rapidly gaining popularity, and are gradually approaching leading positions.

Principle of operation

Any of the modern heaters, powered by an electric network, increase the temperature of the air inside the room. In other words, the principle of operation of such devices is as follows: air molecules are heated, after which there is mixing with cold molecules, and the area begins to warm up.

But as mentioned above, the principle of infrared units is based on the presented variety of devices, and accordingly their work is based on infrared radiation. To achieve optimal temperature indicators in the apartment, these devices begin to emit infrared waves, heating objects, and they subsequently give off heat, and increase temperature indicators.

Device

The role of the heat source in the presented models is performed by a plate that rationally gives out infrared rays. But she herself does not heat up, and accordingly, when touched with it, the consumer will not burn her hand.

This plate includes many layers, each of which is covered with mica. This means that the design of the devices does not include a coolant. And accordingly, the owners of mycothermal heaters will not face a burnout of the spiral.

The plates are located in the housing, for the manufacture of which high-quality metal is used. On both sides of it are nets. They do not interfere with the penetration of rays. Due to the fact that the heater includes 2 such grids, heat radiates on two sides. More advanced models are equipped with two additional layers, one of which reflects, and the other concentrates heat. That is why warm flows are directed in a single direction. Similar models are designed for installation on the walls of the room.

Device advantages

In addition, mycothermal heaters will please the owners of a number of significant advantages, which include such as:

the device does not need time for its own heating, as a result of which it immediately transfers heat to the apartment;
compact dimensions and light weight;
optimal energy consumption, in comparison with other heaters;
no noise at work.

Proper operation

Safety when operating household appliances is paramount. In principle, the precautions when using the presented unit will not differ much from the measures applicable to such equipment. After acquiring a mycothermal heater, you will need to follow the rules listed below:

Use the unit in accordance with the instructions attached to it.
It is forbidden to connect the device to the network if damage to the case or the power cord is visible on it.
Do not allow the device to come in contact with open moisture.
The power cable must always be visible.
The distance from the unit to flammable items (upholstered furniture, books, curtains, curtains, etc.) should be at least 1 meter.
Do not dry clothes or other things on the heater.
Do not direct the unit towards objects that deform under the influence of elevated temperatures.
It is necessary to exclude the ingress of debris, and other loose, causing a short circuit in the device, and as a result, the failure of the device.
On a regular basis, it is recommended to wipe the heater from dust, and best of all, clean it with a vacuum cleaner. To do this, you need to disconnect the device from the electrical network, and wait for it to cool completely.
Do not use various chemicals and abrasives to clean the case. This can damage the paintwork, which will subsequently cause corrosion.
Do not cover the case with cloth, as this may result in a fire.
Also, it is strictly forbidden to try to disassemble the device on your own, and to perform your own repairs. In case of malfunctions, it is necessary to contact the warranty service centers, and after its expiration - to specialized services for the repair of household appliances.

Exceptionally following the indicated rules, your mycothermal heater will last for a long time, and as a result, you will enjoy the optimal air temperature in the room on a regular basis.

How to care for a mycothermal heater

When you go to the store, and already make a purchase at the checkout, do not forget to ask the consultant about the features of caring for the purchased heater. Just the instruction does not always include such information. In addition, to be interested in such information is the legal right of any consumer.

If you still could not find out the necessary information, just follow the recommendations that will be presented below:

The optimal temperature of the device can be called an indicator - 25 degrees. With an increase in this temperature, the level of electricity consumption will increase significantly.
Before turning on the device, make sure that there are no damage to the glass in the apartment. For example, cracks in the window or broken glass. If any, the operation of the device is unlikely to bring the desired results.
If the apartment has a warm floor, it is recommended to install a voltage stabilizer to prevent all kinds of malfunctions with wiring.

In addition, one should not forget about the basic rules for cleaning the device from dirt and dust. Before starting, it is necessary to de-energize the system, and give it time to cool completely. Then you need to take a slightly damp cloth, and remove dust on the case.

IMPORTANT! Do not allow moisture to get inside the device, since this can lead to its failure, and costly repairs!

If there are small openings on the appliance body, take a vacuum cleaner and clean hard-to-reach areas with it.

ATTENTION! Auxiliary detergents are strictly prohibited!

What to look for in the selection process

To choose a high-quality micathermic heater, you need to understand its features. As mentioned above, the plates of the device are covered with mica. This material does not emit harmful gases at a heating temperature of up to 1100 degrees.

But why do manufacturers prefer this particular material? Everything is extremely simple:

Mica is a natural insulator that does not conduct current, does not absorb moisture, and is an extremely durable material.
Coating the plates with mica allowed us to rid the devices of the characteristic cod during operation.
Dust does not burn on the surface covered with mica.

Mycothermal heaters immediately after connection work with full efficiency. In view of the above, for an ordinary apartment, a device with a power indicator of not more than 1500 watts is enough. It is recommended that you pay attention to the presence of a thermostat. If it is not, then activation and deactivation of the device will need to be done in a manual device.

In addition, it is recommended to consider the place where the device will be located. There are many models on the market that have different types of mounts. They can be mounted on the ceiling, walls, built into furniture or just stand on the floor.

It is also recommended to ask about the available operating modes. More modern models have wide functionality, and can independently change the operating mode without human intervention.
