Device description
The designer glass convector TCH 2000 E is used to generate
warm air for interior spaces.
The device generates heat by means of an electric heating
element. The air surrounding the heating element is heated. The
heated air rises through the air outlet and thus creates a natural
suction that makes the cold room air flow into the device.
The device is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor
which controls the heating depending on the current and the
desired room temperature.
Using the touch panel integrated in the safety glass, you can set
a target temperature value between 15°C and 50°C.
Moreover, the device is equipped with a remote control that can
be used for controlling all functions and settings.
