2. Convection heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_heater

   A convection heater, also known as a convector heater, is a type of heater that utilizes convection currents [1] to heat and circulate air. These currents move through the appliance and across its heating element, [ 2 ] using thermal conduction [ 3 ] to warm the air and decrease its density relative to colder air, causing it to rise.

3. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

   A fan heater, also called a forced convection heater, is a kind of convection heater that includes an electric fan to speed up the airflow. They operate with considerable noise caused by the fan. They have a moderate risk of ignition hazard if they make unintended contact with furnishings.

4. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

   In some applications where the heating element is directly connected to the item being heated a self-regulating heater may also provide adequate temperature control of the item to be heated. However, many applications require control of two temperatures. For example, space heaters use heating elements much hotter than the room being heated. In ...

   The control circuit in a household HVAC installation. The wires connecting to the blue terminal block on the upper-right of the board lead to the thermostat. The fan enclosure is directly behind the board, and the filters can be seen at the top. The safety interlock switch is at the bottom left.

7. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

   The heat energy is emitted from a warm element, such as a floor, wall or overhead panel, and warms people and other objects in rooms rather than directly heating the air. The internal air temperature for radiant heated buildings may be lower than for a conventionally heated building to achieve the same level of body comfort, when adjusted so ...
