Winter is here and the shivering days are really hard to get through, so at this time of year many people start to think about how to heat the house. Want to spend a warm winter, of course, you have to choose the right heating method, in fact, the most suitable for their own is the best.
Currently there are many kinds of electric heaters on the market, today we will discuss about 5 mainstream heaters.
一、 Electric heating film heater
The electric heating film heater adopts fully transparent high temperature electric heating film as the heating material, which is at the advanced level in the world in terms of technology.
Adopting the structure of hot air duct, the heat transfer mode is enhanced convection, the hot start speed is fast, the temperature of the air can reach more than 100℃ in 3 minutes, but it will be cooled down quickly after the power is cut off.
Advantages：
1.The heater itself is oxidation free, so its service life can be in 100,000 hours or more.
2.The material is silicon crystal electric heating film, heating quickly, it usually need only three minutes to warm up.
Disadvantages：
- It cools quickly after the power off, and the power will be attenuated after the electric heating film is used for a period of time.
- It resist water, so the bathroom can not be used.
- The price of electric heating film heater is relatively high compared to ordinary heaters.
二、 Skirting electric heater
This kind of heater is designed as a skirting way, installed around the room, the application of skirting type arrangement, does not take up space and easy to install.
It adopts thermal superconductor material as the basic heating unit. Skirting electric heater is the use of the principle of thermal circulation, the hot air circulates from the bottom up, the room can be heated up to 10 degrees in 20 minutes!
Also it is low cost, easy to install, maintenance free and easy to dismantle and carry.
Advantages：
- Fully utilizes the wall edge with low space utilization, does not occupy space.
- Adopting natural convection method of heat dissipation, uniform heat dissipation.
- The temperature and switching time of each room can be adjusted through the temperature control. Convinient to use.
- Combination of convection heat conduction and radiation heat conduction, fast heating.
- Good energy storage effect, continuous heating after power failure.
Disadvantages：
- It has a certain amount of electric radiation,not suitable for pregnant women and children in the family use.
- Service life is short, once the electric components stopped working, it is difficult to repair.
三、 Mini sun heater
This kind of product mainly consists of sealed electric heating element, parabolic or circular arc surface reflecting plate, protective strip, power adjustment switch and so on.
It adopts quartz radiation tube for the electric heating element, Using far-infrared heating energy-saving technology, the far-infrared radiation element emitted by the far-infrared ray is absorbed by the object, and directly change to thermal energy to achieve the purpose of heating.
Advantages：
- Small sun is cheaper than other type of heaters, It’s inexpensive and cost-effective.
- Fast localized heating. As it is small, and inside are heat pipes to emit heat, it will improve the temperature of part of the room.
Disadvantages：
- The surface temperature of the heating tube of the small sun is very high, can easily cause skin burns, especially the children at home.
- The light of the small sun is still very blinding, the infrared rays emitted by the small sun is easy to burn children’s eyes.
四、Fan heater
A heater is more similar to an electric fan used in the summer, except that it has an additional heating element.
Relying on wind power, a heater can blow heat quickly into the room, with the drawbacks being that it makes a noticeable noise when it’s in operation, and it also dries out the air in the room.
Warmers come in a wide range of price points, from one or two hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for high-end products.
Advantages：
- Heating fans are designed to raise room temperatures quickly by virtue of forced convection warm air.
- They are generally small and light, particularly suitable for heating smaller rooms.
- Unique splash-proof construction of the heater allows it to be used in bathrooms.
Disadvantages：
- Multi-functional heaters provide more convenience for people, but also directly lead to higher costs.
- It is noisy and not suitable for bedroom use.
五、 European style electric heater
The European fast heaters is to use black tube heaters (a few models use nickel-chromium heating wire) in series with 92 pieces of aluminum heat sinks to directly heat up air.
The lower part of the air inlet, energized electric heaters around the air is heated up to rise, hot air outlet, while the surrounding cold air inlet. With repeated cycle, the indoor temperature will be increased quickly.
When the the ambient temperature is too high, the temperature control element will automatically cut off the power supply of the electric heater.
Advantages：
- Fast warming, wide heat dissipation, safety and quiet.
- Compact, lightweight, wall-mounted and desktop use, more in line with the needs of home life.
Disadvantages：
Heating capacity is not so good, with large temperature differences between indoor and outdoor.
