20/06/2008

Dimplex have unveiled a heating controls component which can be used in environments such as wet rooms, it has been reported.

The Dimplex radio frequency heating control is encased in a splash-proof cover so it can be used in wet conditions and can control equipments such as towel rails to increase energy efficiency, according to Voltimum.

According to the article, "the RF LCD programmer gives thermostatic control to 'dumb' appliances such as towel rails which don't usually come with an integral thermostat, improving control for the user over energy use and fuel costs".

The heating controls can be programmed to cover four different time periods, allowing appliances to be turned on and off when needed, while a seven day version is available for those who need weekday and weekend settings.

Consisting of a wall-mounted LCD thermostatic programmer and an RF receiver sited near the appliance, the Dimplex unit can control any heater with a loading up to 2kW, the news provider reports.

Dimplex manufacturers a wide range of heating solutions, such as solar water heating, portable heaters and electric fires.
