When the system is switched on, hot air from the vent clings to the surface of the wall and heats it up. This is noticeable up to around 60cm from the top of the skirting board system. As a result, the wall becomes a radiator along the length of the skirting board system radiating a uniform heat, achieving a superior comfort level in a faster response time and at a smaller cost compared to the other conventional systems.
The two systems have the same performance level and also give the same comfort level and response time, with the same savings compared to the equivalent conventional systems.
For the same comfort level, Hekos' Thermodul uses approximately 65% less watts than conventional heating systems and distributes heat in a room more efficiently; it can be up to 30% cheaper to run.
The installation costs of the hot water model compare very well with the installation costs of the hot water underfloor heating system. However, it is more expensive than the conventional hot water radiator even though it uses about a tenth (1/10) of the water used by conventional radiator systems. The installation costs of the electric model compare very well also with the installation costs of electric underfloor heating system and electric storage heaters.
Because of its efficient heat distribution, the response time is much shorter than the other conventional systems especially the underfloor heating. The comfort level is a lot better to the other conventional systems; see the graphic for temperature distribution in a room in tests as carried out by Milan Polytechnic.
The temperature, for both the hot water and electric models, of the facing plate is not uncomfortable to touch, however is not recommended for children or pets to come into contact with the facing plate. The system has European norm approvals EN 442, EN 61000-3-3, EN 61000-3-2, 55014 and ISO 9001:2008.
Hekos' Thermodul can be used everywhere:
- New units (residential and industrial)
- Existing units
- Renovations
- Listed houses
- Alone or in combination with existing conventional heating systems
Hekos' Thermodul can be fitted in tiled rooms, carpeted rooms and rooms with wooden or parquet floors. It is fitted on the walls, at floor level, instead of tiled or wooden skirting board or right above the existing skirting board.
A skilled plumber or electrician with the help of the appropriate manual can fit the hot water and electric model Hekos' Thermodul. However, it is best done by trained fitters.
No. Hekos' Thermodul does not raise micro dust and does not blow air as radiators and split units do respectively.
The hot water model at normal operating water temperatures is approximately 186 watts per metre and the electric model is rated at 200 watts per metre of element.
