The working capacity of the towel warmer - simply put, the amount of heat it receives when working normally. This parameter is only relevant for water models (and for water-based combination devices). For electric heaters, the power consumption is given (see below) with a similar value.
The thermal power is important in light of the fact that the towel rail often plays the role not only of the dryer, but also of the heater for the bathroom. If the ceiling height in such a room is standard 2.5 - 3 m, you can use such a formula to evaluate the effectiveness: on 1 m2 of area at least 100 watts of thermal power is needed. For example, the smallest modern models give out
less than 300 W, this is enough only for the smallest bathrooms (or for use as an auxiliary heating source). The indicator in
300 - 600 W is considered relatively low,
600 - 900 W - average,
- 1200 Wat can exceed the largest thermal power models, greater than larger ones"/list/88/pr-11658/">1200 W.
When choosing on this indicator should take into account two points. Firstly, the thermal power is specified for a certain water temperature (usually of the order of 60 °C or 75 °C); if the temperature is different, the actual capacity of the towel heater will differ from the declared. Therefore, it is worth choosing a device with a certain reserve in power. Secondly,
...in combined models (cf. «Type») the power of the electric heater is added to the thermal power of the water heater, and the overall efficiency of the device will be determined by the sum of these capacities.
