Quartz heaters “Building a house with your own hands

Types of quartz heating batteries

Devices intended for home use are offered in two types:

infrared - in them the heating element is enclosed in a glass tube;
monolithic are flat panels with a textured pattern on the front side; their thickness usually does not exceed 2.5 cm.

Both models of radiators are based on quartz sand: in monoliths it is included in the mixture for casting the body, in infrared ones a glass tube is made from it. The variations have a similar structure:

Nichrome wire is responsible for heating in them;
The units can be floor-mounted (with a stand) or wall-mounted.

Design features and technical characteristics

To compare the configuration, operational properties and operating principles of different variations of quartz heating batteries, they will be considered separately.

Monolithic heaters

The heating element is made in the form of a nichrome thread with increased resistance; it is placed in a non-flammable insulating casing. The thread is located inside a slab cast from a mixture of white kaolin clay and quartz. The solution in a special form is pressed and sintered, resulting in a ceramic slab with a decorative pattern on the front part.

Components such as marble chips and crushed dolomite can be added to the solution to improve texture; the surface is left white or painted. A thin metal frame with rounded corners is installed around the perimeter; a cable with a plug and a shutdown button are mounted on it; moreover, the thermostat is installed separately.

Basic technical capabilities:

power consumption range is 400-500 W;
weight varies between 10-15 kg;
standard linear parameters – 60x35x2.5 cm;
when turned off, the device cools down by about a degree in 2 minutes;
average efficiency – 99%;
surface temperature can reach 95°C;
The device heats up to maximum in 20 minutes.

Monolithic quartz battery
The principle of operation is that the panel is systematically heated from the nichrome filament embedded inside. Further spread of heat is caused by convection (increasing air temperature) and infrared radiation.

If a thermostat is used in combination, it stops heating provided that the ambient temperature reaches a predetermined level. As the stove cools, heat transfer will also occur. When the lower temperature limit is fixed, the thermostat turns on the heating.

Infrared heating batteries

The units have the following design: glass tubes are placed in an oblong metal case, and nichrome threads are held in these small cylinders. The rear semicircular walls of the tubes are mirrored; due to the reflection of all thermal energy, a single direction is set.

These variations of quartz devices have built-in thermostats; the equipment operates according to the following principle:

when the battery is turned on, the heating element heats up and infrared radiation is released;
First, objects and surfaces located in the coverage area of the heating device are heated. They give off heat to the air, which increases the ambient temperature;
when the specified threshold is reached, the thermostat turns off the unit;
When the air in the room cools down to the lower limit, the thermostat initiates reheating.

The working spiral, which produces infrared radiation, is enclosed in a quartz glass tube to create safe conditions and increase service life. The fact is that a hot filament will burn out faster in the open air than in a container with an inert gas.

Pros of halogen heaters

Halogen heaters have a high efficiency factor. The heat generated is twice as much as the same oil heater produces. The heating wave is up to 4 m, while in others it is only 1 m.

The heating element has no expiration date. You can say it is eternal.

Does not dry out the air and does not burn oxygen. Because it heats objects, not air. And they already give off heat to the air.

Automatic shutdown when voltage drops or surges in the network

This is very important when there are children in the house and when running around, they can catch the heater. The most important thing is savings. Halogen heaters consume much less energy than conventional heaters.

Silence

The device will not disturb with its humming if people are relaxing in the room.

It is not a dirt collector, as it does not attract dust.

The speed at which heat is felt. The heater takes a minimum of time to heat the room.

The principle of directed heat makes it possible to use the heater outdoors. This can be not only the terrace of a private house, but also an open-air cafe. They are also useful for repairs. If you need to dry the plaster on the wall, but there is no heating, it is damp outside, then a directed flow of heat will dry the wall quickly.

Halogen systems are also in demand among farmers. They are placed in barns and chicken coops in severe frosts. If an animal accidentally gets to it and knocks it down, the chain will automatically open. In rooms where there is a lot of hay and straw, this property will help avoid fire.

Advantages and disadvantages of the model range

Strengths of monolithic sand radiators:

affordable price range;
simplicity of design - the absence of external working elements facilitates maintenance and cleaning;
with the correct choice of the number and performance of heaters, it is possible to ensure rapid heating of rooms even in harsh climatic conditions;
devices operate silently;
The use of natural materials in the production ensures the environmental friendliness of the composition.

Quartz batteries have a good price and operate silently.
Disadvantages of the solution:

radiators are heavy and require the most durable fasteners;
budget variations can be recognized by their unattractive appearance;
the surface becomes very hot, which can cause a burn if touched accidentally. Such performance is undesirable for families with small children. But the vulnerability can be eliminated with the help of an additional protective screen;
the slabs are fragile, require careful transportation and careful installation, cracks often form on them after the first heating;
For ease of use, you will have to purchase a thermostat separately.

Questions may also arise regarding the build quality of monolithic equipment. Flaws are especially noticeable on the back side (poorly made frames, cracks, peeling paint).

Infrared devices also operate silently, but they have a better design. The advantages of their use:

complete heating of surfaces, and not transfer of thermal energy to the air;
mobility, low dead weight;
attractive performance;
wide range of brands and models;
safety of use;
built-in thermostat;
compact dimensions.

The cost of such devices is higher than stove-top ones, but they do not require the additional purchase of a thermostat. The only drawback is that the heating of the room volume is not as fast as compared to the previous option.

Comments:

Rodion

Good review, although I didn’t notice any special features of this type of heater. I installed both convectors and quartz ones - the electricity consumption is almost the same. The only difference is the price.

Jack

Rodion, I don’t know about you, but I feel the difference. Quartz is much heavier and produces 20 percent more heat at the same electricity costs

TeplopitBel

The patent for the Quartz electric heater belongs only to the manufacturer from Belarus - TeplopitBel. https://teplopit.bel This is how TeplopitBel-Belarus differs from its Russian counterparts. 1. Electricity consumption of TeplopitBel (250 W/hour) is 1.5 times less than that of Russian ones. 2. Heat transfer is 1.5 times greater than that of Russian ones (due to the composition of the purest quartz sand). 3. The radiating surface area is 1.5 times larger due to the coating with natural material (natural mountain stone). 4. Cools down 30% slower in time (after complete shutdown) due to the increased area of the radiating surface. 5. Heats a room twice as large with an area of 10-12 sq.m. in contrast to the Russian analogue (5 sq.m). 6. The appearance of the heater does not require a decorative screen. The savings are double at the same price. https://teplopit.bel

Don't take JUNK FROM CLOWNS WITH TEPLEKO SEE OUR BELARUSIAN Quartz heater with Patent and documents

Stepan from St. Petersburg

Tepleko is produced in Kemerovo by individual entrepreneur Kotenkov (type all the information on the Internet) Here they are, factory ones with short wires without a plug, selling them to TD TEPLEKO on a simplified single tax - distribution and difference trade. And there's not even a cash register. Not provided due to low turnover.

And that’s what they have a Patent for on an electric heater... For water or for what??? And where is the Patent for the Quartz heater... SHOW. If there is no Patent (for a Quartz heater), don’t write that you are producing them. Or don’t screw up everyone who makes analogues.

THE COOL FACTORY Tepleko DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A CASH REGISTER - ONLY A SINGLE TAX!!! Like our entrepreneurs at the market in the Republic of Belarus (only ours even have a cash register). Like delivering pizza to apartments. They are always on PROMOTION. There is no receipt and no guarantee as for PROMOTIONS. They are registered as delivery and differential trade. Laughter for a cool company. Now it is clear that their products correspond to their level. Total self-promotion. LIKE ? TAKE IT.

People, be vigilant, avoid this sharazhka's office! For them, the customer is always wrong; after the acquisition, you are enemy No. 1 for them! I learned this the hard way, the website says a 3-year warranty, but I purchased it a month and a half ago and it turns out that for some reason this warranty does not apply to me! All the good reviews are written by the company employees themselves, they are hired there specifically for this purpose, it is IMPOSSIBLE to leave a bad review on their website, they call back and start threatening!…

Individual cottages are not connected to the main heating organization; for this reason, they request installation of independent heating. The core component of your own heating network is undoubtedly the boiler, which heats the coolant. There are quite a lot of models of this type of equipment on sale, which seriously complicates the choice. It is very important to approach the process of purchasing a boiler wisely, since this is the only way to design your home to be warm and cozy. Let's look at some likely options!

Sergey Petrovich

But having purchased Tepleko, you need to immediately take care of concluding an installation agreement with an organization that has the 3rd approval for the installation of electrical appliances. Otherwise there will be no guarantee. Yes, Tepleko also has promotions all year round. Promotional items are not subject to warranty anyway. We played it safe. So get ready to immediately purchase from Tepleko a non-warranty product that can be used with cracks (written in the passport). Who gave them the Certificate? It is not clear how such offices generally work. Tepleko is a Lego constructor and a circle of skillful hands.

Valentina

For example, if you bought from Tepleko, then you also need to invite a company to connect and draw up an Acceptance Certificate for connecting the Tepleko heater (this service is not cheap - like the heater itself). Otherwise there is no guarantee. That's it gentlemen!!! And Tepleko has a promotion for a whole year. This means that in any case (even with an official connection) you have no guarantee. There is no guarantee on the Promotion. This is how, gentlemen, it turns out to be twice as expensive to buy Tepleko. You also need to additionally buy a plug and screw it yourself, mounts and a reflector on the wall. Total price is 2700 from Tepleko. And TeplopitBel sells its heaters (in bulk) twice as economically for 1,800 rubles. Here's the schedule for you. One TeplopitBel warms like two Tepleko. And in terms of area, TeplopitBel is designed for 10-12 sq.m. and Tepleko for 5 sq.m.

Anatoly

Tepleko-RF has a lot of shortcomings. That's why. Write to yourself. First of all, this is the most important thing. Tepleko does not have a Patent for a Quartz heater (Tepleko has a Patent for an Electric Heater) - You are misleading buyers. The patent for a quartz heater is only available from TeplopitBel from Minsk. Secondly, you add marble chips yourself (all this is written on your old website), and this reduces the thermal conductivity of the heaters. Further more…. — Tepleko consumes 20% more than stated (measure the resistance). — Operation with cracks (written in the passport) is just crazy (How did you get the Certificate???). - Lack of any guarantee (written in the passport - connection only through a company with an additional payment). Buyers don't know this yet. — Cable 50cm. without a plug (Who issued you a Certificate for the electrical device???) - Lack of a plug on the cable (you have to buy it and screw it yourself???). — Additionally, buy brackets and a reflector. — Cracks in 99%. — Heating area 5 square meters. — Lack of stores with real purchases and selection on site (only through mail via the online store). Whatever comes in the mail cannot be returned. Maybe it’s enough to list? Or maybe a dozen more.

Kirill

Just recently I bought myself a Tepleko heater, so overall the heater is 5 out of 5, it’s just perfect, there are some small nuances but they don’t affect anything, because the heater heats up very quickly, now my room sometimes turns into a bathhouse so I have to turn it off and even open the window, in general I need to buy another thermostat in order to sleep comfortably.

Heater TeplopitBel

Energy-saving Quartz heater TeplopitBel with built-in thermostat for heating

TeplopitBel quartz heaters are made of quartz sand. Energy-saving convectors are suitable for heating all premises: gymnasiums, shops, offices, apartments, houses, restaurants, garages, universities, gymnasiums, schools, sanatoriums, kindergartens.

The heating element of the TeplopitBel monolithic plate consists of an alloy of chromium and nickel. It is sealed so that air does not penetrate to it. Therefore, it can easily withstand high temperatures.

TeplopitBel is a unique device. It does not create noise, does not generate dust, does not dry out the air in the room, and concentrates slow cooling and rapid heating.

We recommend installing energy-saving convectors parallel to each other in order to significantly increase the activity and quality of their work. If you decide to purchase a thermostat, it is better that it is located between the heating devices. The thermostat helps save electricity and stabilizes the temperature of electric heaters.

TeplopitBel is easily mounted on walls using several fasteners. We do not recommend pressing the unit very tightly against the wall, as this will certainly lead to a significant decrease in efficiency levels.

Advantages of heating units: reliability, durability, fire resistance, provision of a comfortable microclimate, frost resistance.

Before installing the electric battery, it is worth preparing it by measuring two centimeters between the heat device and the wall on which the installation will be carried out.

The temperature regime of an energy-saving convector can be regulated much more quickly using a thermostat. How to use a temperature sensor? Set any temperature on it. When this device “decides” that there is as much heat in the room as needed, it will turn off on its own.

A modern heat and power generator, decorated with attractive embossing, created according to a special recipe. You can choose any of 3 models: with a consumption of three hundred watts per hour, two hundred fifty watts per hour, four hundred watts per hour.

The cost of a quartz heater, which was created in Belarus, will please every buyer. Anyone who is outraged by the price of a wall-mounted unit, know that it is fairly compensated by reliability, high quality and beautiful design. Regular customers are guaranteed a nice discount! Come, choose and buy! We are sincerely glad to see every visitor!

Criteria for choosing quartz heating batteries

When studying the assortment, you need to take into account the planned conditions of use. If there is a need for constant electric heating outside the city, it is better to turn to stationary slab models. It is important that they have high-quality assembly and fit into the interior. Temporary or local heating outdoors and in the house will be provided by quartz UFO variations.

Monolithic devices are most effective in tandem with other heating. In particular, during the day a boiler or stove may be responsible for servicing the house, and at night - a stove-radiator (especially if there are cheap electricity tariffs).

Installation and operating conditions

The maximum operating temperature reaches 95°C, while the average power consumption remains at 500 W. This power will be enough to heat 7-13 square meters. m.

Wall-mounted models are fixed to the surface using convenient brackets, the latter are usually included in the package. It is important to ensure that the weight of the device corresponds to the type of base material: the load-bearing capabilities of concrete, wood, lining, brick, and drywall vary.

Floor-standing variations only require an outlet, but when using them you need to keep an eye on children and pets and do not place textiles nearby.

Review of popular manufacturers: 5 best models

The first three examples are devoted to monolithic devices: their widespread use is facilitated by their ease of execution.

Teplopit Bel 0.25 kW

The radiator is designed to serve small bathrooms and is characterized by economical energy consumption. Offered in a wide range of color variations, dimensions are 60x34x2.5 cm. Not afraid of power surges, heats up in 25 minutes. Weight – 11 kg, average cost – from 2.5 thousand rubles.

TepplEco

The metal frame is protected from corrosion, the device is designed for installation in bathrooms. There is a power button on the side, the cable socket has a thick seal, and the front surface is decorated with raised patterns. Energy consumption is 400 W/hour, the device heats up in 20 minutes. Dimensions – 64x35x2.5 cm, cost – from 2.4 thousand rubles.

Quartz battery TeplEco

Heat supply 0.4 kW

Often the battery is installed in the hallway; gray, yellow and brown colors with black specks are common. The cable length for the 400 W model is 150 cm, dimensions are 61x35x2.5 cm, plate weight is 10 kg. The device is mounted on 3 points; to increase operating efficiency, it is recommended to equip the wall with a foil backing. The average price of the unit is from 2.8 thousand rubles. It can be safely placed in close proximity to upholstered furniture.

The following are popular manufacturers of batteries with glass bulbs.

Supra QH-817

The model is relevant for premises of periodic use; it provides 2 operating modes, differing in power - 800 and 400 W. The dimensions of the unit - 38x12.5x30 cm - allow it to be brought to the dacha in the trunk of a car; the weight is 1.2 kg. Tip-over protection and metal grille ensure safe use.

Advantages of quartz radiators

Quartz batteries have many advantages over other types of electric heating devices:

1. Economical. Economical energy consumption can be called a key advantage of quartz devices, since other types of electrical heating devices consume a significant amount of energy, thereby negating all their other advantages. The cost of electricity is always high. Therefore, most of the population tries not to use electricity to heat residential premises, despite the fact that electric heaters are environmentally friendly and easy to operate.

Types of heating radiators

Quartz batteries consume a minimal amount of electricity, and they can be safely used both as additional heaters and as main heating devices. They do not create a big burden on the family budget.

2.Large heat capacity. Quartz slab has great thermal inertia. It takes a long time to heat up and takes a very long time to cool down.

3.Durability. The heating element has no contact with the environment, which prevents its oxidation and increases its service life.

4. Possibility of connecting a thermostat, which provides automatic control of the heating system.

5. Relatively low price compared to electric water heaters and other efficient heating devices.

6. Fire safety. The temperature of the working surface of the quartz battery does not rise above 95 degrees, so the ignition of materials located in the immediate vicinity of the heater is completely excluded. The device can be mounted on a wooden surface, lining, or drywall.

7. Electrical safety. The device does not create large loads on the electrical network and can operate non-stop throughout the heating season.

8.Easy installation. The quartz battery is attached to the wall with brackets.

9. They are not demanding to care for and do not require maintenance. Caring for a quartz battery is limited to removing dust with a dry cloth.

A quartz battery can be installed in the same way as conventional radiators, under a window sill, so that it creates a thermal curtain and prevents cold air from penetrating through window openings. If the room is large, you can install two quartz batteries and connect them to one thermostat, then it will regulate the temperature on both devices. Using quartz radiators for heating is much more profitable than installing a water heater in the house and spending money on installing a water heating system.

The cost of paying utility bills when using an electric water heater for heating will be very significant.
