TO GET TO KNOW AND MAKE THE BEST USE OF THE TUBES TOWEL WARMER

TOWEL WARMER

This electric fluid circulation unit is sold ready to use. It is closed with a cap and filled at the factory with a special high-performance fluid.
This fluid, specially developed for this type of use, is unalterable and requires no special maintenance.
As soon as the appliance is heated, phenomena different from those produced by conventional electric heating can occur:

The electrical resistance heats the fluid, which circulates progressively and naturally inside the radiator.

During the heating phase of the appliance, the inertia properties of the fluid mean that the surface temperature of the radiator only reaches an optimum level after 10 minutes at idle, depending on the model and the room temperature.
It is this inertia, however, that guarantees the constancy and duration of the heat emitted, even when the resistor is no longer powered.

It is normal to find that the top and bottom of the radiator are less warm than other areas of the heating structure.
On the other hand, as the fluid circulates within the elements, it loses heat and cools, leaving a lower temperature in the lower parts of the radiator as a result.

The radiator has a large heating surface, which allows the amount of heat emitted to be adjusted (self-regulation) to different needs. It is therefore normal that in the middle of the season, when the appliance is used less, the differences in temperature on the surface of the radiator are more noticeable.
Tubes towel warmers are designed to be covered without risk. However, in order to ensure effective operation of the appliance, it is recommended not to cover it completely, as the temperature increase and the internal circuit breaker may interrupt the operation of the appliance.
