Convection is a way to transfer heat. When something is heated, by flame, for example, the air right above the flame will expand [as substances expand when heated]. This expansion will cause it to have a greater volume. The air will have the same mass, so its density will decrease as density is mass over volume. Because its density decreases, it will rise. Once risen, it will do the opposite: lose the energy by cooling, decrease in volume, increasing the density, and fall back down.

Why do so-called radiators which are part of central heating system have wrong name?

Radiators in a central heating system give off heat through radiation, convection, and conduction. While they primarily rely on convection to warm a room, they are named after the radiation method of heat transfer. It's a historical naming convention that has stuck over time.

What are the differences between infrared and convection heating methods?

Infrared heating uses electromagnetic waves to directly heat objects, while convection heating relies on the circulation of air to transfer heat. Infrared heating is more efficient and heats up quickly, while convection heating is slower but provides more even heating throughout a space.
