Radiators, convectors, and baseboard and finned tube units are types of heat-distributing devices commonly used in steam and low temperature water heating systems. ... In general, these types of heat-distributing units should be placed at the points of greatest heat loss of the space. ... For example, such units are commonly located under windows, along exposed walls, and at door openings. ... The term "baseboard" ... refers to heat-distributing units designed for installation along the bottom of walls, in place of the conventional baseboard. They may be made of cast-iron, with a substantial portion of the front face directly exposed to the room, or with a finned tube element in a sheet metal enclosure. They operate with gravity-circulated room air. ... Baseboard heat-distributing units are divided into two types: radiant-convector and finned tube. 5, record 2, English, - baseboard%20heater

Dans le chauffage par air chaud à circulation naturelle, désigné également sous le nom de "chauffage par calorifère", l'air [fluide caloporteur] est transporté par différence de densité dans le local à chauffer, au moyen de conduits se terminant par des bouches de chaleur disposées en parquet ou en plinthe. Ce mode de chauffage présente l'avantage d’avoir une faible inertie calorifique, d’être mis très rapidement en régime et d’être à l'abri du gel. 5, record 3, French, - chauffage%20%C3%A0%20air%20chaud%20%C3%A0%20circulation%20naturelle
