Best Answer

A heat exchange device that uses the heat in steam, hot water, or an electric resistance element to warm the air in a room; often called inaccurately, a radiator. Essentially, it's a space heater that transfers heat to the surrounding air by convection. And, just as an interesting side fact, in Roman mythology, the god Convector oversaw the bringing in of the crops from the fields.

On a convector heater where does the air flow into it?

If there is no fan to pull the air in, fresh air must come into a convector heater from below. It is drawn in because the air heated by the heating element is warmer and therefore lighter than the colder air below it. So the warmer air rises to leave the convector heater from the top.
