Fan convector
Illustrated Guide to Mechanical Building Services 3rd Edition (BG 31/2017), written by David Bleicher and published by BSRIA in May 2017, suggests that fan convectors (also known as forced convectors): ‘…incorporate one or more fans which increase the heat output per unit size and improve air movement in a space. Fan speed can be controlled to suit requirements and can include a boost setting for the rapid warming up of a space.’
