Other Types of Electric Heaters. If a baseboard heater installation is difficult, impossible, or expensive other types of electric heaters can also do the job. Portable heaters (figure 8 - A portable electric room heater) ..., whether convection or fan-assisted types, range from 500- to 1500-watt capacity and come in many models, shapes, colours and sizes. They are small enough to plug into regular house circuits and are useful for auxiliary or temporary heating. 3, record 2, English, - portable%20electric%20radiator

Le chauffage d'appoint. Dans un peu plus du quart du parc des maisons, on complète le chauffage des locaux par un système d'appoint. Sur huit résidences ayant recours à des équipements de chauffage supplémentaire, trois utilisent surtout des plinthes électriques, deux un radiateur électrique portatif, deux autres un poêle à bois, et la huitième d'autres ressources. 5, record 2, French, - radiateur%20%C3%A9lectrique%20portatif

Chaufferette. Autrefois, ce terme désignait une boîte à couvercle percé de trous que l'on remplissait de braises et qu'on déposait par terre pour se chauffer les pieds. On la faisait aussi glisser entre les draps d'un lit pour les réchauffer. En Amérique, le terme s'applique aussi au système de chauffage d'une voiture et à un appareil portatif servant à réchauffer une pièce. La plupart des ouvrages spécialisés n'acceptent pas ces deux derniers sens mais lui préfèrent respectivement «chauffage» et «radiateur». Ainsi, s'il fait trop froid dans une pièce, vous faites fonctionner un radiateur d'appoint, en plus du radiateur intégré au système de chauffage (baseboard heater). 7, record 2, French, - radiateur%20%C3%A9lectrique%20portatif

Une bonne efficacité de ce processus exige une densité d'environ 200 chaufferettes à l'hectare. Ces dispositifs, qui, par nuit de forte gelée, nécessitent la combustion de 200 à 400 litres de fuel par heure et par hectare, sont évidemment coûteux. Ils ont été largement utilisés tant que les prix du pétrole étaient bas. On peut apporter les calories nécessaires à la lutte contre le gel par des procédés plus coûteux à l'installation; mais beaucoup plus économiques sous l'angle énergétique, notamment grâce aux techniques d'aspersion antigel. 3, record 3, French, - chaufferette
