Default So how much power does an oil filled radiator actually use.

Not that substanbdard it's our standard. Only those that are non standard get 240V.


Strange that, just checked my power monitor and it's 239V


Yep that is correct for domestic supply.
Which doesn't apply here.


So why whine that you weren't getting the full 2kW from the heaters?

We had to come in line with teh EU so that meant 230V, then managment needed promoting so they decide that they;d put in a system to save power and therefore money by installing an auto-transfomer which took us down to just below 220V.


Yup, substandard, especially under any decent load.


Standard for us and within the tolerance expected.


When you say 'just below 220V' you actually mean 202 (that you told
us)?

Ok, for the hard of thinking ... (yes, that's you dave) it may be
better to get a consistent 1300W than an intermittent 700+1300W,
depending on the cycle duty cycle.


well that;s bloody obvious isn't it.


Not you and still apparently, or I'm guessing you wouldn't keep asking
the stupid questions and trying to make stupid points?

Which is why I 'set' it to 2KW and not 700W or 1300W .


Yes, I know and I was saying you might also try setting it to Heat
level II and see what happens.


eg, If you get 2000W for 2 hours and then it drops to 700W for 2 hours
then the average will be 700W and 2000W for that 4 hour period. IF
putting it on heat level II(1300W) meant it didn't trip the overtemp
stat you might get 1300W continuously for the entire 4 hours.


I think that is unlikely.


But as yet untested eh?



We don't want hot radiators we want the room to be hot preferably, that is what efficincy is about.


Bwhahahaha ... you really don't have an effing clue do you? Are you
anywhere near a science teacher to ask them to teach you all about
basic thermodynamics?



Still talking **** I see.


What, that a room temperature heater will heat a room better / quicker
than a hot one (you can't make this stuff up!).

HTF do you think a heater heats a room?

Do yuo actually know what these things are used for ?

Yes, that's why I'm trying to teach you.

yuor the one that was suggesting I send working heaters back because you didn't know how they worked.


Liar.


So why did yuo think they were faulty. ?


Why do you keep lying?

Why did you contact salesd aledgly to help me and get a wrong result ?


Why are you so ungrateful when people try to help you?


Remember the sale you contacted who told you to send it back.


Liar.


you contacted sales it said so in the email you copied to me.


And no mention of sending anything back, liar.
