Hydroflame Classic Freestanding Flame Effect Dual Fuel Fan Convector Heater

Flame-effect fan convector radiator that runs off the central heating system or an electric element, but with all the visual appeal of a real fire.The electric only option means the heater can be used independently of the central heating - for example in spring and autumn.

When running on the central heating Hydroflame has less of an impact on the environment than electric, gas or open fire alternatives.

How Hydroflame works

Flame-effect fan convectors require connection to the wet central heating system and an electrical connection to run the flame-effect and fan.
Hot water from the central heating system passes through a heat exchanger and transfers its heat to the aluminium fins. Cooler air is drawn in at floor level and used to create the flame effect. The air is heated as it passes over the heat exchanger, a patented process that creates a realistic flame-effect, and then expelled gently back into the room. This gives a more even temperature and will heat a room in much less time and more efficiently than a traditional panel radiator.
The fan will not come into operation until the central heating system water passing through the heat exchanger reaches 40°C (or the temperature set by the installer). This ensures that cooler air is not circulated at start up and allows Hydroflame to switch on and off automatically in conjunction with the central heating system.
Dual models include an electric heating element – ideal in spring and summer when you may need a quick warm up but the central heating system is switched off.
