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 1, English, - baseboard%20heater

Electric space heaters contain one or more heating elements. They produce heat when an electric current is passed through the element. ... Electric space heaters are most appropriate in rooms requiring heating for short periods of time, such as in a bedroom, bathroom, study and perhaps infrequently used formal living areas. As they can be quite expensive to run if left on for long periods, they are not recommended as the main heating source for living areas.  6, record 2, English, - electric%20heater

Baseboard heat-distributing units are divided into two types: radiant-convector and finned tube.... The finned-tube-type baseboard has a finned tube heating element concealed by a long, low sheetmetal enclosure or cover. A major portion of the heat is transferred to the room by convection. The output varies over a wide range, depending on the physical dimensions and the materials used.... Optimum comfort for room occupants is obtained when units are so selected that they are installed along as much of the exposed wall as possible.  1, record 3, English, - finned%2Dtube%2Dtype%20baseboard
