Ptc energy storage heater

What are PTC heating elements?

PTC Heating Elements, also known as PTC heaters, are electric heaters with small thermal resistance and high heat exchange efficiency. They offer automatic constant temperature control, energy-saving features, and excellent safety performance.

How does a PTC heater work?

PTC heaters draw full power initially to quickly heat up and reach the optimum temperature. As the heat increases, the power consumption simultaneously drops. This dynamic heating system is not only effective but also time and energy efficient. PTC heaters ramp up faster than fixed wattage at cold temperatures, saving energy over run time.

Why are PTC heaters so efficient?

The Positive Temperature Coefficient behavior of the ceramic means that it can adjust the heating output dynamically, making PTC heaters incredibly efficient for many heating applications. 1. Energy Efficiency of PTC Heaters PTC heaters adjust their power consumption according to the environment.

What is a PTC space heater?

Like traditional electric space heaters, PTC space heaters turn electricity into heat. Both types use fans or convection to move this heat into the environment and come with multiple heat and mode settings. The difference between these types is in how they behave as their surface temperature increases.

What is a PTC fan heater?

The fan heaters in this range use Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) ceramic heating technology to provide climate control. These heaters can be controlled independently from the fan, enabling a ‘fan-only’ mode for air circulation. There are nine variants, offering different power and supply voltage capabilities.

What can happen if the PTC heater is on?

If the PTC heater (positive temperature coefficient heater) is on, it can cause the grounding terminal and surrounding parts to melt and increase the risk of fire. This issue occurs due to a problem that can result in overheating when the PTC heater is activated.
