Hello everyone,

according to the internet, most towel wall heaters are categorized with 75 °C as the VT (i.e., how many watts the heater then has).

If you are planning a brine heat pump with the lowest possible VT (around 30 °C), does it even make sense to install such a towel wall heater holder if only 30 °C will run through it? How have you solved this?

Or forgo the heating function and, due to the low VT in the heating system, just hang a "dry towel holder" because you might as well skip it with 30 °C?

If you can do that, would it then be a separate heating circuit just for the towel wall heater?

Thanks and best regards

Electric towel warmers, one does not mix a floor heating system with radiators.

No, only those who have no idea about heating systems do that. Or those to whom the installation and operating costs are completely irrelevant.

I thought electric towel warmers are so frowned upon and you’re not supposed to install them!?

How do you plan it then ? That’s why I’m here, because I do care about installation and heating costs.

On the contrary. Since heat pumps have been available and installed in houses by the dozen, they have actually been experiencing their second spring. A heating circuit with as low a flow temperature as possible for underfloor heating + possibly wall heating throughout the entire house and no others. No radiators, no water pockets, etc. If you want warm towels, install a heating circuit with an electric cartridge heater, which can then be switched on/off via a switch or logic. If it's only about drying the towels, a ventilation concept with controlled residential ventilation is sufficient.
