What is PTC ceramic auxiliary heating?

PTC ceramic auxiliary heating power to rely on a set of means for auxiliary heating compartment. It works very simple, which is by an electric current to generate heat by the resistive heating element to achieve a ceramic heating function. With hair dryer, heaters we usually use the same reason. For general models for the ceramic heating module is typically placed side by side with the radiator heater tank, its role is to provide some heat to warm the car before the tank temperature does not rise up by electroporation, until the water temperature reaches the temperature closed automatically, The purpose is to allow rapid heating compartment.

1.PTC ceramic auxiliary heating noun

In addition there will be a part of this device models used in the other locations. E.g. Benz E350 Cabriolet SLK and then placed within the seat headrest, hot air directly to produce the occupants head and neck, which neck is also referred to as a heating system.

PTC ceramic heating only an auxiliary heating system, since the ceramic heating element itself power-hungry, more power is generally at 1500W, if used alone, will soon run out of battery power. So it should inTo work with the engine running. Even so, its calorific value is very limited, the tank can not be substituted as the main heat sink.

2.PTC scope ceramic auxiliary heating

PTC ceramic heater auxiliary heating system not only for the air conditioning, heated seats we know, steering wheel the same is heating applications of this technology, except that the heating elements are also often encountered in life around us. In short it is a mature technology, reliable and durable and practical function.

3.PTC ceramic auxiliary heating characteristics

● does not consume fuel: this heating system is driven by electricity generator and the battery, does not require fuel, can achieve more satisfactory heating effect in the case where the cost is zero.

● faster heating: both the front and two heating methods still rely on water tanks and heating methods compared, PTC ceramic auxiliary heating is the fastest, starts blowing hot air about a minute there.

● plasticity heat generating element: PTC ceramic heating element is not restricted structure, can be manufactured in various shapes or different sizes to meet the needs of different uses, it is so widely used. .?

4 PTC auxiliary heating equipment models

How to determine whether their models with this feature is simple: First, start the vehicle; then knob to the maximum air temperature; use the inner loop to select and point the wind blowing or blow pin face gear. If the water temperature at the outlet has not come up with a hot-air blowing, indicating the car you have this feature.

Since few manufacturers to promote this fast heating function, only found the Toyota Corolla, Camry and other data on the number of heaters equipped with PTC auxiliary heating device, but actually a lot of home models also available. Further Benz SLK, E350 and other convertible models used neck heating system, also fall into this category.
