What is the difference between a radiator and an oil drum for heating in winter?

The function of oil heater is very rich, and the heating speed is also very fast during use, but this does not mean that it has no shortcomings, and there is no really perfect thing. Next, let's specifically understand the advantages and disadvantages of oil heaters.

Advantages: the heating effect of the oil heater is very obvious when it is used, and some oil heater products are also suitable for horizontal and bathroom use. The oil heater will not release any harmful substances when it works, so it is a relatively environmentally friendly product. On some heaters, it also has a shelf dedicated to drying clothes, on which users can dry clothes. This effect is very obvious in rainy days.

Disadvantages: Although the oil heater has a relatively fast heating speed, it takes a long time to preheat, and the running power is very large when it is used, so it is difficult for families with small electric meter capacity to use it. The oil heater mainly heats the indoor air. It has the characteristics of heating, so the room is very dry after long-term use.

Advantages of radiator: long service life, low price, long heat storage time of wall thickness, and slower corrosion rate than low carbon steel radiator, aluminum alloy radiator and water tank radiator. Because its corrosion is needle corrosion, not block corrosion, rust is not easy to leave the body, and oxygen can not invade the body in a large area to cause deep corrosion, so its service life is about 25 to 30 years.

Disadvantages of radiator: unsightly appearance, large volume, low bearing capacity, backward technology, endless sand in the pipe, environmental pollution and full water maintenance. After a long time, rust will also make the heat meter and temperature control valve fail or damage. It is banned in the reform of heating system, household metering and room temperature regulation, and will gradually be eliminated by the market.
