Electric convector heater with additional radiant heating - has adjustable reflector below elements to direct radiation at low level

摘要

The electric radiator has a flat rectangular housing (1) with resistance type heating elements (2) near the bottom, an air entry grille (5) being positioned low at the front, and on another grill (6) being positioned in the top for hot air discharge for heating by convection. A reflector (3) is mounted in the base, which may or may not be integral with the heating elements (2) and is placed so as to direct radiant heat horizontally outwards near the bottom of the housing. this reflector, which is of metal, glass or ceramic, can be adjustable, o that the radiant heat can be directed out through the front, low down, at an acute angle to the floor, so as to direct some heat outwards at floor level.
