6 EHC Radiator Technology Our unique Combination Radiators are designed to store the heat directly into the Magmatic Heat Retention Tablets without any loss of energy. When the EHC Radiators have achieved their required temperature the Manual Thermostat will cut the power to the Radiator. The Radiator will continue to provide heat, which has been stored in the Magmatic tablets, for up to 45 minutes with no further use of electricity. The Radiators will use approximately minutes of electricity per hour, depending on the building fabric and the outside temperature. The contacts inside the Radiators are protected with heat shrinkable insulated sleeves to ensure optimum safety. Multiple thermocouples within each Radiator provide overheat protection for additional safety. Outside - High Fin Surface area Inside - Magmatic heat retention tablets 6 Installation kit for wall fastening

7 EHC Comfort & Quality EHC Radiators are unique due to the metal ribs being individually spot welded which prevents any noise during the expansion and contraction cycle. The metal rib design boasts 6 times the normal radiator surface area to provide approximately 50% radiant heat and 50% convected heat. This process creates a much more consistent temperature throughout the room from floor to ceiling which prevents hot spots at ceiling heights. 50% Convected heat Radiant heat 50% An equal combination of radiant and convected heat gives a constant temperature throughout the room. 7

18 EHC Solar PV Ready Electric Radiators Your Solar PV system is designed to generate Electricity and Income for your property however you could lose up to 70% of your available generated power if you re not using your appliances with the power generated, as the solar energy will be exported back to the grid. EHC offer a practical solution with our Solar PV Ready Electric Radiators which can be used as a secondary heat source when using the energy generated by your Solar PV system combined with our EHC Intelligent Solar Controller. This unique range boasts the same benefits offered by our Standard Electric Combination Radiators, and are also popular as a secondary pre-heat source for those hard to heat and commonly used living areas.

19 EHC Solar PV Intelligent Controller The EHC Solar Controller is an innovative eco-friendly energy management system that diverts electricity generated by your Solar PV Panels to our Solar PV Ready Electric Radiators and Neptune Hot Water Cylinders. This provides your family with Hot Water and a reliable secondary heat source for those hard to heat & commonly used living areas. We help you make the most out of your free generated solar PV even in properties that have existing Gas Central Heating systems as the Solar PV Radiator will raise the property temperature prior to operating the Gas Boiler. You can add an EHC Solar Controller to your new Solar PV system or retro-fit to an existing system. You can keep up to 100% of the power generated as hot water or to heat your Solar PV Ready Radiators. As an added benefit you will receive your full feed-in-tariff whilst reducing your energy costs. The EHC Solar Control system intelligently monitors power travelling to and from the grid, so ALL the unused energy goes directly into the home, whilst also displaying energy saved and power output of the system. If the demand from other Appliances within the house increases the intelligent EHC Solar Controller will reduce the amount of energy sent to secondary heating and hot waters sources ensuring further cost savings. The Controller will prioritise energy distribution within your home and depending on the season or your personal preferences the Hot Water Cylinder and Solar PV Ready Radiators can be optimised to suit your Heating and Hot Water requirements. At the end of each year, you receive an Export Tariff which is based on the estimate that 50% of the power you generated was exported to the grid. You will continue to earn this even if you use 100% of the power generated and diverted by the EHC Solar system to your Heating and Hot Water Appliances. The Smart Controller will reduce your properties carbon footprint whilst also ensuring a reliable source of secondary heat and a steady supply of hot water depending on your requirements.
