What else can I help you with?
Why is an electric heater the only appliance that may have an efficiency of 1?
Because the heat from a heater is already in the lowest from of energy possible, physical heat at only a few degrees above the ambient temperature.
If the heater is not putting out heat could it be the thermostat?
If you are not getting heat out of the heater, there are only a few things that could be wrong. The first is low coolant. You can't get heat without coolant running through the heater. If it is low, sometimes it has to be bled of air bubbles. If both heater hose running to the heater are hot, you have circulation. If not the heater could be plugged or not getting the coolant to circulate. There is also a damper in the heater system to stop cold air from bypassing the heater and that needs to be checked.
How long does it take to heat a water heater?
The time it takes to heat a water heater can vary depending on the size and type of the heater. On average, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours for a water heater to heat up completely.
How many watts does an electric heater use?
An electric heater is an electric appliance that convert electrical energy in to heat. Working principle of an electric heater as per "Joule heating theory" When electric current passes through a resistor that electric energy convert to heat (best and simple example is a spring type heating element). When Voltage applied both end of a wire/spring type Resistance wire, voltage flow and this voltage help that wire to heat up and convert in to heat. A Resistance wire quality, length & thickness depend how many time heat spread and resist with that heat. K.watt/ Watt = Applied voltage x Ampere. Many quality and types of electric heating elements are there depend upon purpose of use. Few best heating elements known as Kanthal wire, Nicrome wire, Ureka wire, Super Kanthal, Silicon Carbide heating elements etc.
How do I reset an electric water heater?
To reset an electric water heater, locate the reset button on the thermostat and press it. Wait a few minutes for the heater to restart. If the problem persists, check the circuit breaker and ensure it is on. If the issue continues, contact a professional for assistance.
What is the best material to keep things warm?
Well , there are many things that can keep you warm. Just a few recommendations are materials such as instillation, cotton, bubble rap. Also the different colours can keep you warm too, the darker the colour the better! Hope this helps. Stay warm!!
When my Jeeps heat is turned off for a few minutes then turned on it gives heat but then disepates to cold What is going on?
new heater
How can I turn on the heater in my apartment?
To turn on the heater in your apartment, locate the thermostat on the wall and set it to the desired temperature. Then, switch the heater to the "on" or "heat" mode. Wait a few minutes for the heater to start producing warm air.
If heater core is plugged would there be any heat?
Usually, with a plugged heater core there will be a bit of heat but not very much..I've only seen a few so plugged that there was no heat. One way to tell is to (carefully) touch the heater hoses just where they go into the heater core. Both hoses should be about the same temperature. If not and the heater control valve is open - then the heater core being plugged is a very good possibility.
What device converts electrical energy into heat energy?
Pretty much all electrical and electronic devices convert at least some electrical energy into heat energy.* microprocessors (that's why some of them need big heat sinks)* transformers (that's why the big ones are mounted in a tank of cooling oil)* rechargeable batteries* flourescent light bulbs* ... and practically every other electrical and electronic device.A few devices convert all the input electrical energy into heat energy.* resistors, including ballast resistors and shunt resistors and dummy loads* resistive heating elements, such as the ones in toasters and some electric stoves* the resistive tungsten filament in incandescent light bulbs-- toaster-- curling iron-- incandescent light bulb-- heat lamp-- hair dryer-- steam iron-- coffee machine-- electric stove-- convection or microwave oven, but not solar oven-- rear-window defogger-- baseboard heater-- space heater-- electrical fuse-- shave-cream heater-- soldering iron-- electric hot-water heater
Two examples of resistive heating?
An incandescent light bulb. An electric heater. A simple resistor. Basically most things that heat up when a current is passed through them do so due to the resistive nature of the load.
How does electricity produce heat and light at atime?
Electricity does this by creating both thermal and optical waves,e.g. lightening and the average electrical heater. Few things create pure single wave, one frequency.
