How do electrical heaters work?
Electrical heaters are devices that convert electricity into heat. Heat energy can be used for heating a room, cooking or water heating. Electric heaters are found in offices, homes and other industrial settings. They are more efficient than other heating systems and also less expensive to run. They are less expensive to install and don't require a gas supply.
Electric heaters work on a simple principle. The device's heating element is made from metal and is isolated from the outer casing. The element generates heat when an electric current is passed through it. This heat then radiates out to warm the air around. The principle of Joule Heating is used. It is a process that converts electrical energy into thermal energy by using a resistor.
Today, there are several types of heaters on the market. There are three types of heaters: radiant, fan-forced and convection. Each type has advantages and disadvantages. Electric radiant heaters, for example, are versatile and can heat an entire room or a specific room. These heaters are also easy to maintain as they do not have ducts. They are used in commercial settings because they are easy-to-use and provide instant heat. These heaters are commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms. They are not recommended to be used for long periods of time as they can create a lot dust and ash in the room.
Fan-forced electric heaters, on the other hand use an electric motor to accelerate the air flow and are more suitable for indoor use. They are more efficient than other electric heaters but can be loud and pose a risk to safety if they come into contact with furniture.
Electric convection heaters are popular as well. They work by using the natural movement between hot and cold air. You can do this through either forced or free-convection. For forced convection, an electric fan is used to speed up the air movement. Free convection is based on the natural buoyancy that hot air has when it rises and cools as it spreads.
Electric heaters are controlled in a variety of ways. Smart electric heaters, for example, can be controlled by an app on your smartphone or voice control systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It is possible to control your heating remotely at any time.
Convection is the most common way to heat an object with an electric heater. The object is heated by direct contact with the heating element. The same principle as a kettle or radiator. These electric heaters come in two different types: oil-filled and dry cores. Electric heaters with dry cores are smaller than radiators or kettles, as the element of the device is contained only within the protective covering.
