Self-regulating Heating Elements
1. Self-regulating Heating Elements
The self-regulating heating elements by
Electricfor, manufacturer of heating elements and
heating equipment, are based on PTC heating
elements.
PTCs are small ceramic stones with a self-limiting
temperature. Such stones may have various forms. Ceramics, in turn, triggers an
ohmic rise in the heating element that causes a decrease in the heating power and a
self-limiting on temperature.
The ohmic rise produces a self-regulating heating element. The temperature is preset
and varies the power to maintain it automatically.
Consequently, PTC self-regulating heating elements provide a greater security
due to the limitation of temperature; they are energetically efficient, accept any
voltage from 12V to 240V, or tolerate temperatures of ± 5 ° C, among other features.
Their design is very compact as they can be customised. Furthermore, they have a
long durability.
