The weather is getting colder. How to choose among several common heating appliances on the market?
Now that the weather is getting colder, some families start preparing heating appliances early. Several heating appliances that are currently popular in price comparison include air heaters, small suns, etc. Because there are so many types, many families are confused. How to choose these heating appliances correctly? Today I have sorted out the heating appliances, come and take a look!
Several common heaters
The first one is the small sun. It uses infrared halogen lamps, which achieve the heating effect through infrared radiation and visible light. The advantages of the small sun are that it is cheap, small in size, fast in heat transfer, and does not produce noise during use. However, the small sun is only a simple thermal radiation, and there is no convection of hot and cold air, so it is only used for heating according to the situation.
I believe that many families who have used a small sun will know that if they stare at a certain part for a long time to keep warm, they will feel the pain of burning over time, or their clothes will be directly burned. Moreover, the light produced by the small sun during operation is relatively dazzling and can easily damage people's visual health. It is recommended that families who buy small suns should choose carbon fiber tubes, because small suns made of this material do not scatter as much light and are more efficient in heating.
The second type is the heater. Most heaters on the market today use PTC heating elements, which are relatively safe. The maximum temperature inside the heater is about 240 degrees. When it stalls, you must shut it down quickly, otherwise it may cause an accident. The advantage of the PTC heater is that it heats up quickly, and the air supply is relatively soft. Some components have a water release effect, so there will be no problem even when used in the bathroom. However, since PTC heaters are directional and therefore produce a certain amount of noise, they are also suitable for indoor heating.
The third type is a European-style fast heating furnace, which uses a black tube heating element and an aluminum radiator to generate hot air fins. It also uses the principle of air heat circulation, which can make the entire room indoors without going through a fan. heat up. There is no noise when heating and it is waterproof. Some models also come with a drying rack on which clothes can be dried. Generally speaking, the price-performance ratio is relatively high. However, a common problem with fast heating furnaces and air conditioners is that the room will feel dry after long-term use in winter. It is recommended to purchase a fast heating furnace with a humidification function to prevent the human body from experiencing dryness and discomfort.
The fourth type is the baseboard heater. The shape of this heater is similar to that of a skirting board. It is small in size and has the same principle as a rapid heating stove. It can heat the room evenly and the price is not high. However, it should be noted that baseboard heaters are relatively long and tend to take up space when placed against the wall, and are prone to collecting dust.
The fifth type is the electric oil heater, which has the advantages of low noise and good heat preservation effect. Even if it is turned off, the indoor temperature will not drop suddenly. However, this type of heater is larger and takes up space. Another disadvantage is that it heats slowly and produces odor.
The sixth type is electric heating film. It can be regarded as an upgraded version of the electric heating heater. It uses electric heating film as the heating material and is equipped with a hot air duct design. The heating efficiency is high, but the temperature will also drop sharply after it is turned off. The electric heating film has long service life, small size and no noise. But it is not suitable for use in the bathroom because it is not waterproof.
Choose a heater based on your own needs
The above are some common heaters. You can make some choices based on your own situation. However, I would like to remind everyone that they are all electrical appliances after all, and you must pay attention to safety when using them. Don’t be reckless just because some electrical appliances are waterproof. If an accident occurs, it will be too late to regret it.
