On a convector heater where does the air flow into it?
If there is no fan to pull the air in, fresh air must come into a convector heater from below. It is drawn in because the air heated by the heating element is warmer and therefore lighter than the colder air below it. So the warmer air rises to leave the convector heater from the top.
If you fix paper decorations to the wall above a convector heater they flutter when the heater is switched on Why does this happen?
This happens because the heating wires heat up the air around them. This air is less denser than the surrounding, and so it rises up through the top of the heater. If the paper decorations are above the heater, they will definitely flutter because the air is coming through the top.
How does a convector heater work?
Inside an electric convector heater there is a large heating element similar to - but bigger than - one of the elements inside a bread toaster.When the electricity is switched on the element gets hot and heats up the air that is all around it.Because hot air is lighter than cold air, the hot air rises up and comes out, into the room, through the grilles at the top of the heater. Cold air from the room moves in through the grilles at the bottom of the heater to take the place of the hot air, and this process continues for as long as the heater is switched on.Any movement of air in that way - cold air taking the place of hot air moving up - is called "convection", which is why the appliance is called a convection heater.Electric fan heaters work in a different way: they have a powerful electric fan inside, which sucks in cold air from the room. The fan then blows the air through an electrically heated element and that hot air then comes out of the fan heater into the room.
If the brass ball on top of the flagpole falls will it break?
Probably not, as it is metal, not glass. But it will be dented if landing on a hard surface.
How does convection and radiation heat a room?
Because the air closer to the heater heats up first. It then gets warmer and less dense and rises to the top of the room, which pushes down the cooler air that is already up at the top. Then that air warms up and rises to the top, pushing the cooler air down. This creates the Convection Current and that is how the room gets heated : )
Why is there a metal grill at the top of a convector heater?

Why is there a metal grille on top of the heater?
The metal grille on top a heater has a few purposes. One reason is safety, to prevent you from touching the heater directly. Another purpose is that the grille acts as a shield to prevent things from burning or melting around the heater.

Does a 2003 f 350 diesel come with a block heater and where is it?
I understand that all of the 6.0's have them, the factory jsut doesn't provide the connection cord except in certain cold weather states. My 2006 (in NH) did not have one, can you believe that one, I raised Cain with the dealer and they provided the cable and installed it at no cost. The heater is located in the block near the freeze plugs top left hand side, looking at it from the front. Tough to find, I had to trace the cable back to locate mine. On my 2000 F350 lariat 4x4 7.3 its behind the grille assembly near the bottom right of the grille (engine side/inner grille) Theres a 110 house hookup cord that extends outward of the grille to plugin to extension cord,....... hope that helps
