õliradiaatori

õliradiaatori is the Estonian term for an oil-filled radiator, a type of electric heater. These heaters work by circulating thermal oil through a series of fins. The oil is heated by an electric element, and as it heats up, it rises and circulates through the radiator's body. The large surface area of the fins allows for efficient heat transfer to the surrounding air, warming the room.

Oil-filled radiators are known for their ability to provide a consistent and gentle heat. Unlike fan heaters that can blow hot air directly, oil radiators offer a more ambient warmth that can persist even after the unit is switched off, as the oil retains heat. They are generally quiet in operation, making them suitable for bedrooms or offices. Safety features often include overheat protection and a tip-over switch that automatically shuts off the device if it's accidentally knocked over. They are commonly used as supplementary heating or for heating smaller rooms.
