Test convector Ballu: we convert cold to heat for 10 minutes

In 2010 the company Ballu Industrial Group presented its new product – electric convectors Ballu Camino series. The quality of new convectors evaluated by independent experts who conducted a laboratory test in the research center of the Federal State Institution “Rostest-New York.

Ballu Camino BEC/E-1000 model was chosen as a reference sample, equipped with an electronic control unit, two full and half power modes, built-in ionizer and a multi-stage protection system against abnormal situations IP24 moisture protection, overheat protection sensor and a sensor against tipping over .

Ballu Camino convectors: see the structure

The new range consists of two models: Camino Mechanic BEC/M with mechanical control unit and Camino Electronic BEC/E with electronic control and air ionizer.

Both models are equipped with a Double-U-Force heating element. Thanks to the monolithic design, it heats quickly, does not burn oxygen and is completely silent. A stylish and functional shape of the casing gradual tapering from bottom to top , developed by a leading Italian industrial design company, which greatly increases the efficiency of the heater.

It provides the most efficient distribution of convection currents, and at the same time prevents overheating of the case in the area of the heating element.

The devices are produced in the power range from 500 W only in Camino Mechanic BEC/M line up to 2000 W. It is convenient that the same appliance can quickly heat the room when operating at full power, and in half-power mode except for the 500W model. will help to save energy and reduce the load on the electricity grid.

Our convectors are IP 24 splash-proof, to be used in wet rooms. The convectors are equipped with an overheat sensor, and the Camino Electronic BEC/E range also has a tilt sensor.

The highlight of the Camino Electronic BEC/E is a built-in ionizer. The device generates anions and makes the air cleaner and healthier. Ionizer can operate even when the convector is off, as there is a separate button to turn it on.

The Camino Electronic BEC/E range has a user-friendly control unit, an informative LED display and a high-precision electronic thermostat. The manufacturer warranty on convectors is 3 years.

How did the test

The following tests were carried out in the test lab:

Functional – heating and maintaining the set temperature:

power consumption, heating time of the test chamber,

range of changes in room temperature after heating and energy consumption to maintain it

The temperature on the case of the device

the heat-up time and energy consumption, the fluctuations in the room temperature, etc. will help to save energy and, above all, to reduce the heat-up time.p.

Safety:

structural reliability,

mechanical strength of parts and their joints,

heat resistance, fire resistance, resistance to formation of current bridges,

moisture resistance, corrosion resistance,

protection against contact with live parts, the quality of the internal wiring and its insulation,

safety when disconnecting from power supply, reliability of connection to power supply and quality of external flexible cords, availability of grounding, etc.p.

Usability ratings: easy-to-follow instructions, easy-to-mount, thermostat control, labeling, etc.p.

Test results

When tested in a test chamber of 20 sq. m. The appliance consumed 1.2 kWh to heat up and maintain temperature for 3 hours. After reaching the set point, the average temperature at measuring points in the chamber 1 m from the front of the device was +28.2 to +28.6 ° C. The device reached operating mode in 10 minutes.

The laboratory staff also appreciated the convenience of electronic control and temperature regulation. Safety of the device was confirmed by measuring the temperature at the front of the body they did not exceed +70 º C .

RosTest conclusion

The tests showed that the electric convector Ballu Camino BEC/E-1000 meets the safety requirements of GOST R 52161.2.30-2007. The specialists of the laboratory especially noted:

– Economy

– Quickly get up and running

– Accurate temperature control

– Safety, in particular, automatic shutdown of the appliance in case of tipping over.

Test results showed that all characteristics described by the manufacturer were true. Convector Ballu Camino BEC/E-1000 is safe for space heating and recommended for use in homes and offices.
