Õliradiaator

Õliradiaator is an Estonian term that translates to "oil radiator" or "oil-filled radiator" in English. It refers to a type of electric heater that uses oil as a heat transfer medium. These heaters are characterized by a series of fins or panels that are filled with a special heat-conductive oil. When the heater is plugged in and switched on, an electric element heats the oil inside the radiator. The heated oil then circulates within the sealed unit, transferring heat to the metal casing. The casing, in turn, radiates heat into the surrounding room, providing warmth.

Oil radiators are known for their quiet operation, as they do not use fans to distribute heat. This makes them a popular choice for bedrooms, offices, and other areas where noise can be disruptive. They are also considered relatively safe, as the surface temperature, while warm, is generally not hot enough to cause severe burns. The oil inside the radiator never needs to be replenished, as it is sealed within the unit. Many modern oil radiators come with adjustable thermostats, allowing users to set and maintain a desired room temperature. They are often used as supplementary heating or for heating smaller rooms.
