A mini review of Isan Oplflex convectors: new technologies in the service of warmth

For trench heaters, as with any other hot water heating device, efficiency, reliability and ease of installation are just as important. Czech company Isan, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of trench heaters, is well known for its high-tech products.

Floor convectors with Isan Oplflex wire heat exchangers

Oplflex floor convectors have the unique construction and characteristics on the market. This range is an exclusive Isan development that was developed considering the disadvantages of the traditional convectors. The distinctive feature of Oplflex is the wire heat exchanger.

Instead of traditional lamellar blades, it uses a braided copper wire that is specially shaped. Because both the tubes and the braid are made of copper, there are no tensions in the heat exchanger, due to the differences in the thermal expansion of the materials. Due to the multiple connections of the wires, the structure becomes stronger and in contrast to thin aluminium fins, it is less susceptible to deformation during installation.

When bending the heat exchanger its aerodynamic properties and efficiency are not changed that allows to install it in boxes of non-standard shape – angular, radius, etc. d. Oplflex trench heaters are more hygienic than flame trench heaters – dust just falls through the wire mesh, accumulates on the bottom and can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. The devices are completed with aluminum, steel or wooden louvers.

The convector range includes different types of convectors with natural convection and forced convection. The forced convection models are available in several types. FLT series with tangential blowers are designed for residential and commercial dry heating. For humid environments, Isan offers the FLB series of air convectors with axial fans and water drainage system.

The FLT 21 series is based on the FLT, but with a changed design that makes it suitable for both heating and cooling applications. The FLT 21 allows the heating medium and refrigerant supply to the convector circuit to be changed depending on the season. In the tangential fan convectors of the FLK series, two separate circuits for the heating medium and the cooling medium can be provided. There are two series of natural convection Oplflex trench heaters: the low FLK series with the option of installing axial fans, and the higher and more powerful FLK Canal series.

      The Isan Oplflex convectors utilize advanced technologies such as infrared heating elements, smart thermostat controls, and energy-efficient components to provide superior warmth. These technologies work together to distribute heat more evenly, reduce energy consumption, and allow for precise temperature control. Unlike traditional heating options such as radiators or baseboard heaters, Isan Oplflex convectors are more efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective. The infrared heating elements emit heat directly to objects and people in the room, resulting in faster and more comfortable warmth. The smart thermostat controls allow users to program and adjust temperature settings to optimize comfort and energy savings. Overall, the incorporation of these technologies sets Isan Oplflex apart from traditional heating options by offering a more efficient, effective, and customizable heating solution.
