4 myths about electric heaters: tales marketers
If your country house no furnace or gas heating, you are familiar meal choice the electric heater.
Today we keeps out a marketing ploy from the really, and help us in the laws of physics. Go!
Trick 1. Dual heating power!
I saw this manipulation in advertising simplest a heat fan. Its working principle is simple: Nichrome filament inside the heater is heated by electricity, and the fan blows air through the filament, thereby heating it. Dual heating power here means two heating the filaments, instead of one, and nothing more.
Trick 2. It does not burn oxygen!
But we all know that oxygen is burned during the combustion reaction. In the case of electric heaters the combustion process have, respectively, the oxygen is not wasted a priori. None heater "not eating" oxygen, it is obvious and silly issue is this unique advantage.
Trick 3. Do not dry the air.
Let us remember the school course of physics: warm air drier, and therefore lighter than cold air (which is why he strives upwards, and the hottest place in the bath - from the ceiling). AND
Trick 4. Efficiency of over 88%!
In all heaters (convectors, fan heaters, radiators) = 100% efficiency, as all expended electrical energy is converted to heat thoroughly.
Remember these tips and do not give marketers fooled!
