Applications for the in-floor electric radiator

The electric floor convector is suitable for:

• floor-to-ceiling windows and glass façades;

• houses and apartments;

• offices and meeting rooms;

• shops, showrooms and display windows;

• rooms without a hydronic heating system;

• supplementing an existing heating system;

• locations where a conventional wall-mounted or floor-standing radiator would obstruct the window.

Electric trench convector design and control

The Hitte EXX consists of a floor-recessed trench casing, an electric heating element and a single-speed fan. The fan directs heated air into the room and increases the heat output of the electric convector.

Room temperature is controlled by a separate thermostat or temperature controller, which switches the heating element and fan on and off simultaneously. The thermostat is not included in the standard package and can be selected according to the control requirements of the project.

The electric trench heater is covered by a decorative grille made of aluminium or stainless steel. Grilles are available in natural silver, light bronze and dark bronze finishes.

Model range

Hitte EXX electric trench heaters are available in lengths from 500 to 2000 mm and with heating outputs from 700 to 3000 W. The appropriate length and output are selected according to the heating demand of the room, the size of the glazed area and the installation location.

The trench heater dimensions, heating output, decorative grille and thermostat solution can be specified individually for each project.

Installing the recessed electric heater

The electric floor convector is installed in a prepared floor trench so that the decorative grille is level with the finished floor surface. Its recessed construction preserves an unobstructed view through floor-to-ceiling windows and requires no wall space.

The Hitte EXX is intended for use in dry indoor environments. Electrical connection and thermostat installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with the manufacturer’s wiring diagram and applicable electrical safety requirements.
