What are the features of an efficient electric heater?

The main feature of an efficient electric heater is, that is used up to 30% less engery than a conventional electric heater. This reduces the cost of the heater.


Do electric heaters have side effects?

Yes. Electric heater or any heater reduces the humidity of the room. Reduced humidity for long time reduces the water content of body. Room heaters that burn fuel in a locked room also consume more oxygen. And, it may lead to oxygen insufficiency for human breathing. This does not apply to electric heaters.


Is an electric bar heater being used to hear a room a physical change?

Yes, using an electric bar heater to heat a room involves a physical change. The heater converts electrical energy into thermal energy, warming the air in the room. This process does not alter the chemical composition of the air or the heater itself, but simply changes the temperature and energy state of the air molecules. Thus, it is considered a physical change rather than a chemical one.


What two energy transfers are used in the electric coil of a baseboard heater?

In an electric coil of a baseboard heater, electrical energy is first converted into heat energy through resistive heating in the coil. The heat energy is then transferred from the coil to the surrounding air through convection, which warms the room.


What energy transfers are used in the electric coil of a basebord heater?

The energy transfers in the electric coil of a baseboard heater involve electrical energy being converted to thermal energy through the resistance of the coil. When current flows through the coil, the resistance generates heat, which warms the surrounding air in the room.


What is the average room size that any average heater works best at?

About 100 square feet is the averge room size for a heater to be used.


What is electric water heater which used in house?

An electric water heater in a hot tank is called an immersion heater and many of those run at 3 kW with a thermostat to control the max temperature. Power showers use a type of water heater that heats the water at the point where it is used, without a tank. They run at 6-8 kW and are also controlled by a thermostat.


Which electric heater is the most efficient?

Ceramic heaters are considered more efficient than electric conventional heaters, as they heat faster, are more stable when achieving the desired temperature, safer and if used in the lower power settings consume less energy


Does oxygen level reduce by electric heaters?

No and yes. In your room, no oxygen will be consumed by the electric heater, so it's safe to use it in an unventilated room. Remember, though, not to cover it to prevent overheating (and possibly fire). To create the electricity, though, it's very likely that some oxygen was used (unless you get your electricity from a renewable source: hydro, wind, etc, or nuclear). In the power station fuel is burned, so this does reduce the oxygen level, but not locally.


What should be used in order to prevent a duct mounted electric heater from being energized when the fan is not on?

A fan interlock relay can be used to prevent the electric heater from being energized when the fan is not running. This relay will only allow power to the heater when the fan is operating, ensuring that the heater cannot operate independently.


Can you use the dryer as a heater to heat your home?

Only by jury rigging it ... the normal insulation is designed to vent the heat outside. But it can be used as a form of electric heater.


What are the main home uses for an electric hot water heater?

Electric hot water heater is used to heat cold water for use in winters. Electric hot water heaters heat water faster than the ones which consume fire in order to heat water.
