: Retractable radiator
∣ OVERVIEW ∣
The electric heater has a retractable structure that enhances air circulation and heating efficiency, providing a more comfortable and warm experience.
∣ DESIGN BACKGROUND ∣
In recent years, with the frequency of extreme weather, unusually cold winters have increased the demand for heaters. Even though underfloor heating is slower, it can even out the temperature. Conversely, heaters heat up quickly but can only heating smaller area. Therefore, we look to find a balance between the two to maximize the benefits of heating.
∣ CONCEPT ∣
Based on the oil-filled radiator, replacing the original fan blade structure with a new type of retractable structure, which opens and closes with the heater to expand its air circulation space. The contact area between the radiator blades and the air is larger, which effectively improves the heating efficiency of the heater and makes our bodies warmer.
∣ STRUCTURE ∣
∣ DESIGN FEATURE ∣
/ Heat dissipation / Movable joint
Accelerated air circulation. With free extension and contraction, the heater is not limited to a single length.
/ Free form design / Touch screen Curved edges guide airflow. Easy to set the temperature control with a single touch.
