Description

With its Konvi hybrid infrared panel heaters, VASNER presents a space-saving heating solution with dual heating power. Thanks to the elaborate combination of cosy infrared warmth and proven convection technology, the hybrid heating panel quickly creates a pleasant temperature in your home. The electric wall heater with latest, efficient infrared heating technology emits direct, sun-like radiant waves, while the room air is additionally heated on the inside of the unit. Depending on the size of your room, you can purchase the innovative hybrid panel heaters with an output of 600, 900 or 1200 watts. The integrated thermostat allows for a stepless temperature regulation thanks to its practical rotary knob. Despite its impressive warmth output and dual heating technology, the hybrid infrared heater is surprisingly slim. With a housing depth of only 4,3 cm, it blends into the wall and can be easily mounted in the desired place using the included VASNER bracket. If you are looking for a mobile heat source, you can purchase additional feet for the VASNER Konvi. This allows the hybrid panel heater to be used even more flexibly. For additional safety, the advanced hybrid heater is equipped with overheating protection.

What is the difference between Konvi and Konvi Plus hybrid infrared heating panels?

The difference between the angular Konvi series and the rounded Konvi Plus series is purely visual. In terms of technology, effect and efficiency, both series are completely identical. With regard to heating power, there is no difference between the Konvi and Konvi Plus if the wattage of the compared units is identical.

The Original by VASNER

Efficient hybrid infrared panel heaters have become popular thanks to VASNER. What makes the Konvi hybrid so special and how do VASNER hybrid infrared heating panels differ from other models on the market? It is the internal technology in combination with the trapezoidal convection plates, which other cheap hybrid heaters on the market often lack. Precisely because this inner technology is not visible, it is often omitted. However, this internal feature makes a big difference to the overall efficiency and is what makes VASNER hybrid infrared heaters such great heat sources. Quality really pays off.

Note: Fixed Connection / Power Plug

• For a permanent connection to the mains, the power plug must be disconnected.
• The warranty of the device remains valid.
• A direct connection of the heater to the mains may only be carried out in accordance with the legal guidelines by means of digital control and by an authorised person (master electrician).

Further notes

Maximum efficiency: Approx. 99% of the electrical energy used is converted into thermal output.

The VASNER Konvi is the high-quality and effective heater for additional, cosy radiant warmth in living spaces. To estimate the wattage required to heat each m², please use our online calculator >>.

Radiant Efficiency VASNER

The radiant efficiency of our infrared heating panels significantly exceeds the required 40%.

Note from the European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA):
Radiant efficiency depends on various influencing factors. These include the size of an infrared panel heater, the type of installation (wall/ceiling), and the test setup in the respective testing institute. The pure percentage value alone is not meaningful without considering these factors.
The radiant efficiency tested according to DIN EN IEC 60675-3 at TU Dresden averages over 50% (wall-mounted) and over 60% (ceiling-mounted). This far exceeds the standard requirement (40%).

The radiation efficiency of VASNER infrared panel heaters was determined by the Technical University of Dresden on behalf of VASNER in accordance with the test guideline DIN EN IEC 60675-3.

Details on the Use of the Infrared Heating Panel

Optional: Automated control via digital thermostat:

• The hybrid infrared panel heater can also be controlled with an electronic thermostat in order to define individual heating programmes.
• If an electronic thermostat is also used, the mechanically integrated thermostat of the heating panel must always be set to the highest level (ON).
• Digital thermostat is not included (see accessories)
• Advantages of programmable thermostats: Automatic temperature change according to time & day, individually programmable + standard heating programs, quick selection settings, frost protection function
• Panel heaters have an open interface, i.e. they are compatible with every thermostat system
