PTC ceramic chip provides the ability to adjust the amount of heat it transmits as ambient conditions change. Based on this capability , PTC heating elements will achieve much greater cost effectiveness and higher safety than nichrome wire elements. PTC heaters lower your maintenance down time no fuses to change, they self regulate when covered with build up, making them energy efficient. |

Cost effectiveness is achieved in multiple ways. PTC technology brings together
the function of a heating element , thermostat , and control device in a single
component , thereby eliminating the component structure and cost associated
with common nichrome wire heating elements and enabling precise temperature specifications. The amperage draw will ultimately be less than an
equivalent wattage nichrome coil element thus running at less power equating to lower operating cost.

PTC heating and the environment , because of their relatively large surface
temperature which eliminates the need for multiple heat transfers and
consequently , saves energy while providing environment-friendly heating
without any RFI or Inductive Radiation. In contrast , filament-based heating
elements have a small surface area multiple coiled layers insulated in ceramic
layers. Large amounts of heat must be emitted from the filament to pass
through each of the ceramic layers,causing substantial energy loss. Coiled
wires produce Inductive Radiation. |

By far safety is the most important issue , PTC heating elements can be set
at lower temperatures not hot enough to cause combustion unlike traditional
nichrome wire elements. Standard nichrome wire heating elements have the
potential to become RED HOT unlike the inherent physical properties of PTC
technology that enable a safer operation , in contrast with standard filament-
based (nichrome wire)heating elements. Most nichrome filament heaters require redundant safety devises and still have the potential to become hot enough to cause combustion. If not used properly in the application , in theory ,
PTC heaters are the safest most environmentally friendly and energy efficient
heating device currently available. |
