What is a PTC heater?

Nowadays, in order to resist the severe cold, many families have bought heaters for indoor heating. Air heaters are becoming more and more popular and widely used. Have you ever heard of PTC heater? What is a PTC heater? How about PTC heater? Let me introduce you.

PTC is the abbreviation of ceramic electric heating element. It uses a fan to force air to flow through PTC electric heating elements to force convection, which is the main way of heat exchange. Equipped with a temperature limiter, when the air outlet is blocked by a fan, it can automatically cut off the power supply. Some are also equipped with dumping switches, which can automatically cut off the power supply when the heater is dumped. Its output power is 800- 1200 watts, the temperature can be adjusted at will, and it has the function of automatic constant temperature when working. PTC elements are generally waterproof, so they are more suitable for use in the bathroom, and the price is between 300-500 yuan, which is an ideal household electric heater.

Classification of PTC heaters

According to the conduction mode:

(1) PTC ceramic heater with heat conduction. It is characterized in that the heat emitted by PTC heating elements is transferred to the heated object through multilayer heat transfer structures such as electrode plates (conduction and heat transfer), insulating layers (insulation and heat transfer), heat conduction and heat storage plates (some of which are additionally provided with thermal grease).

(2) Various PTC ceramic hot air heaters that use the formed hot air for convective heat transfer are characterized by high output power and can automatically adjust the temperature and output heat of the blown air.

(3) Infrared radiation heater. It is characterized in that the heat rapidly radiated from the surface of PTC element or heat conducting plate is actually used to directly or indirectly excite far-infrared paint or far-infrared material in contact with its surface to radiate infrared rays,

Forming PTC ceramic infrared radiation heater. According to the structural features:

(1) universal and practical PTC ceramic heater. This kind of appliances mainly include: electric mosquito-repellent incense, hand warmers, dryers, electric heating plates, electric irons, electric bonders, curling irons and so on. It is characterized by low power consumption, but high thermal efficiency and strong practicability.

(2) Automatic constant temperature PTC heater. This kind of apparatus mainly includes: small crystal device thermostatic bath, thermostatic incubator, electronic thermos bottle, incubator, thermos cup, thermal insulation board, thermal insulation box, thermal insulation table, etc. It has the characteristics of automatic heat preservation, simple structure, good constant temperature characteristics, high thermal efficiency and wide temperature range of using environment.

(3) Hot air PTC heater. This kind of hot air PTC heater mainly includes: small heater, hair dryer, greenhouse machine, dryer, dryer, industrial drying equipment and so on. It is characterized by high output hot air power, fast heating, safety and automatic adjustment of air temperature and power consumption.

PTC heaters are affordable and very suitable for ordinary families to buy and use. When the weather is cold, use it indoors to provide heating, which I believe will make you feel comfortable and enjoy. I hope the information I provided can explain something to you.
