Vaillantov “Aurocompact” kondenzacijski bojler osvojio je višenagrada za dizajn / Vaillant’s “Aurocompact” condensingboiler won few design awardsZidni bojler iz kolekcije Saunier Duval,brand iz Vaillant grupe / Wall-hung boilerSaunier Duval, a brand of Vaillant Groupcritics and advocates of the radiation system point outthat they’re still not the best available options becausethe heating surface may be much larger than the standardradiator system, but those systems still don’t providesolutions for damaging effects, such as dust lifting(common occurrence with floor heating). The condensationissue also remains unresolved, as these systemsare known to cause disproportional heating of differentsurfaces (for example, floor heating has the problemof condensation on the much colder ceiling), as wellas accompanying damaging effects like mould or thefalling off of cracked mortar.In terms of possible alternatives to the convection heatingsystem, we have recently heard a lot about systemsof infrared radiation, but the crucial criterion that differentiatesthat system from many others is the heat-wavemethod of heating. The most common and very reliablemethod of producing heat waves is the good old-fashionedpotassium stove. It is characterized by the lackof any type of hot-air exhaust systems, and it performsits function by radiating heat from a tile, an element ofits own structure, just like people noticed the radiatingpotential of clay and similar materials during the ancientperiod. The physical definition of radiation, the methodthat leaves the air dry, pure and still while proportionallyheating all the walls, which practically transforms theentire room into a heating object, is based on the factthat heat is conducted by electromagnetic waves insteadof heated air compounds. The electricity in thesource’s external layer is produced by the heating processwithin the heat-conductive non-metals, and it penetratesthrough the surface in order to make contactwith the surrounding materials. The secret of this type ofheating is in the much larger surface, which creates amore immobile air with an all-important higher level ofheat conductivity.Although it is more expensive and less economical, the20method of using electricity for heating is still acceptableand very present in our area for one dominant reason– electricity doesn’t require additional storage space(for liquid or wood), which is an extremely important factorwhen it comes to space management. That is wherethe classic convection (radiator) system meets anotheradvanced technology, and that is the fan-coil system.It originated from the combination with the air-conditioningunit, because it features the flow of cold waterfrom the external unit. In addition to purity, that resultsin the lack of any cold currents that appear because ofdisproportional heating of the room (stratification), andit brings more positive effects in another important field– the so-called thermal inertia. Fan-coil systems havethe ability to regulate temperature immediately andwithout any time delays, which is an important factorin the modern lifestyle. Traditional radiator heating ishistorically connected to the lifestyle of past centurieswhen there was always somebody present in the familypremises, but the time spent in those premises has nowbeen reduced and transformed into something moredynamic, which means that we now frequently turn theheating on and off to save energy. In addition to that,fan-coil systems offer numerous advantages regardingour health because of reduced intensity of air circulation,dust lifting and consequential pollution of walls andother elements.Obviously, the main advantages are related to the heatingdynamics and flexibility. However, the remainingproblem is the expensive price of electricity as an energy-generatingproduct. If you’re thinking about choosingan advanced fan-coil system, you should know thatyou will spend significantly less electrical energy, but theoriginal installation is twice as expensive. Along withthe minimal additional expenses, the fan-coil system isalso very convenient for integration into floor heating.However, we must point out that floor heating gene-
