Convection Heating
Convection heating is a process that transfers heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water. When a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser fluid sinks. This creates a circulation pattern that distributes heat throughout the space, making it an efficient way to warm an area.
In homes, convection heating is commonly used in systems like radiators and baseboard heaters. These systems warm the air around them, which then rises and circulates, providing consistent warmth. This method is often found in central heating systems, ensuring even temperature distribution in living spaces.
