A towel rails radiator or a heated towel rail is a feature designed to heat
Composition and functioning
Towel dryers can be made from different
Dryers can be heated electrically (heating cartridge or heating cable), or by circulating hot water (connected to the central heating). Often, a combination of the methods is used. In these cases, the dryer is heated by hot water in wintertime, and by electricity in the summer. A towel dryer, with high output, can also serve as a radiator in a small bathroom.[2]
Dryers come in a variety of appearances, including ladder types, turnable types, and others.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages
Towel warmers dry towels more quickly. Towel warmers come in varied shapes. There are towel warmers of different sizes, from (50 by 70 centimetres (20 in × 28 in)) to those two metres (6 ft 7 in) in height.
Disadvantages
Insulating a room heater slows the heating of the room. Another is that the flow of heating fluid through a towel rail, optimised for heating and drying towels, is generally the reverse of that of a simple room-heating radiator, which is optimised for heat transfer to air convecting through it.
