<p>A storage heater includes a core comprising a heat storage means such as heat storage bricks, insulating means around the heat storage means and heating elements for heating the heat storage means. The core is mounted in a casing including a front panel. An additional radiant heating element is mounted on the inner surface of the front panel and provides supplementary radiant heat when the heat output from the core is insufficient. The control means for the additional radiant heating element is responsive to the core temperature by measuring the temperature of the front panel which is, in turn, heated by the core when the core is hot.</p> |
