CONT

Plinthes chauffantes. Elles sont constituées, soit par des tubes lisses, soit par des tubes à ailettes installés en plinthe ou à proximité du plafond sur les parois extérieures. Suivant le type, elles dissipent la chaleur par rayonnement ou par convection. Les plinthes rayonnantes peuvent trouver leur emploi dans certains locaux particuliers, mais leur efficacité est fortement réduite si des meubles formant écran s'interposent entre leur surface et l'atmosphère du local.
