Fast-Flo technology is something we refer to when discussing the Ecostrad designer range of electric radiators. This includes the Ecostrad Allora iQ, Ascoli iQ and Adesso iQ, all of which have been specifically developed with the needs of electric heating in mind.
Fast-Flo technology is the use of wider channels and larger apertures between the radiator pipe joints to aid the circulation of thermal oil inside these radiators. Their collector pipe (the pipe which connects all the front bars together) is also positioned lower due to the lack of pressure in an electric system, which ensures that the thermal oil can reach every part of the radiator. This delivers an even spread of warmth and prevents the radiator from overheating.
This isn’t always the case for other designer radiators on the market.
Cheaper designer radiators are often central heating radiators that have been converted to work for electric by filling them with oil and adding a heating element. This leads to problems as the radiators aren’t equipped to deal with the modular way electric radiators work. Central heating radiators are designed to be part of a system where pressurised water is continually flowing, which means they struggle with non-pressurised liquid, leading to cold spots across the body of the radiator. This can also lead to overheating near the element, causing the radiator to repeatedly cut out. With Fast-Flo technology, you don’t have any of these problems.
