1. Introduction
is a set of the PTC ceramic auxiliary heating means on electricity for auxiliary heating of the passenger 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.
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 can be to work with the engine running. Even so, its calorific value is very limited, as the main water tank can not replace a heat sink
2. Characteristics
faster heating: and either the first two or the heating depend on the tank and compared to the heating, the PTC ceramic auxiliary heating is the fastest, starting about one minute after the hot air blown 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, is so widely used.
3, the scope of
auxiliary heating only the PTC ceramic heater for an air conditioning system, we know seat heating, heated steering wheel is equally applicableThis technique, 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.
How to determine whether their models with this feature? The method is simple: First, to start the vehicle; maximum air temperature was then adjusted knob; 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.
