Water-electric „Convector GPE” & “Convector GCE” radiators with inegrated electronic thermoregulator
Two separate heating systems in one casing

The copper-aluminium GPE and GCE convector radiators combine functionalities of a central-heating water radiator with that of electric heating.

“Convector GPE” – side-fed radiators
“Convector GCE” – bottom-fed radiators

Water-electric radiators are recommended for the following applications:

• Additional heating off the heating season for all the rooms, without the necessity of starting the entire central heating installation and without the necessity of finding space for storing the heaters after their use,
• Especially recommended for hotels and boarding houses, as they allow extending the summer rest season; they may be used for heating selected rooms only, which is important when only some of them are occupied,
• Heating bathrooms: use of water-electric radiators allows the choice of selecting the heat vehicle depending on the economic conditions (electricity for the night tariff or other utilities),
• In central installations with large-size boiler houses (making the user independent of the administration for decisions on starting the heating season).

These radiators in their parameters and properties of the water part and in thermal and hydraulic characteristics, correspond with central-heating GP and GC series water radiators, while their electric part corresponds to the GE radiators.

Two separate heating systems in one casing

Electric heating elements are placed in the radiator body and heat air directly. This solution makes the radiator heating the room immediately after switching it on, without heating water in the coil pipe – thus ensuring savings in power consumption.
