A convection heater (otherwise known as a convector heater) is a type of heater that uses convection currents to heat and circulate air. These air currents flow throughout the body of the appliance and across its heating element. This process takes advantage of thermal conduction in order to heat the air, reducing its density relative to colder air and causing it to rise.[1]

As heated air molecules rise, they displace cooler air molecules down towards the heating appliance. The displaced cool air is heated as a result, decreases in density, rises, and repeats the cycle.
