Heating element is the main part of the ironbox which gets heated as current passes through it. We have to use the material for heating element with features such as:
1) high melting point
2) high specific resistance
3) not easily oxidised. (most important point)
Hence the alloy NICHROME ( nickel and chromium) is used for heating element because it is not oxidised even at high temperatures.

What is a ptc heating element?
A PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating element is a type of heating element that increases resistance as temperature rises. This characteristic allows the heating element to self-regulate its temperature, providing a safety feature to prevent overheating. PTC heating elements are commonly used in appliances such as hair dryers, irons, and space heaters.
Why tungsten is not as heating element in iron box?
Tungsten is not commonly used as a heating element in iron boxes because it has a very high melting point, which would make it difficult to work with and shape into the required size and configuration for the heating element. Additionally, tungsten is quite expensive compared to other materials commonly used for heating elements, making it less economical for this application.
How many amps are required to run a 240-volt 5500-watt water heater element?
Current (Amps) = Power (Watt)/Voltage (V) Therefore a 4500W heating element will draw 18.75A = 4500W/240V
How do you replace heating element in central heating?
1 Remove the air handler electrical disconnect. Pull out the electrical disconnect on the air handler. If you have an old air handler without an electrical disconnect, turn off the circuit breaker to the air handler.2 Remove the panel off the air handler. Use the screwdriver to remove all the screws holding the panel in place.3 Locate the electric heater in the air handler cabinet. Remove the ribbon cables on the electric heater. Remove all the screws holding the electric motor in place. After you have the screws and the cables off, you can safely pull out the electric heater. If you do not know what the electric heater looks like, look at the replacement heater for guidance.4 Place the new electric heater where the old one was. Secure the heater in place by installing the screws. Connect the ribbon cable to the electric heater to finish the wiring.5 Replace the air handler cover and secure it in place with the screwdriver. Turn on the power by inserting the electrical disconnect back in place or turn on the circuit breaker . Turn on the electrical heater and wait at least 10 minutes for it to start.For all your heating, cooling, and refrigeration needs in the St. Louis, Mo.metro area.

What are the special features of heating wire?
"Heating" wire is used in the toaster, electric baseboard heater, blow-drier, percolator, electric space heater, and in just about any other place where electricity is used to produce heat. It's simply a wire with more resistance than 'hook-up wire'. The purpose of the wiring in typical electrical and electronic devices is simply to connect the components to each other. It's made to have as little resistance as possible, so as not to dissipate any electrical energy. But dissipation of electrical energy is the whole purpose of an appliance used to generate heat. The heating element ... comprised of heating wire ... is the main component in that circuit. The heating wire has some resistance ... enough to avoid a "short circuit" that would trip the circuit breaker and possibly melt the house wiring, but little enough so that it draws a large current and gets glowing-red hot when connected across the mains supply. Typically, a fan blows air across the heating wire, to pick up the heat and distribute it into the room or the wet hair.
What is the function of the heating element in a water heater?
The heating element in a water heater is responsible for heating the water to the desired temperature before it is used for various purposes like bathing or washing dishes.
What are the common causes of water heater noise and how can it be resolved?
Common causes of water heater noise include sediment buildup, a malfunctioning heating element, or a loose heating element. To resolve these issues, you can flush the water heater to remove sediment, replace the heating element if it is faulty, or tighten the heating element if it is loose.
What is the function of the heating element in a hot water heater?
The heating element in a hot water heater is responsible for heating the water to the desired temperature, ensuring that hot water is available for use in the household.
What type of materials is an immersian heater used for?
The materials in a immerisian heater are used for making the heating element heat in water. Without them they couldn't be a chance for the heat to last.
What wire is used for an immersion heater?
An immersion electric heater usually uses nichrome wire as the heating element. Nichrome is highly resistive, and by applying a voltage, we can get it pretty hot. Nichrome is used as the heating element in toasters and on electric range elements as well as lots of other places.
What is the original energy store used by a heater?
The original energy store used by a heater is electrical energy. This energy is converted into heat energy by the heating element in the heater, which then warms up the surrounding air or space.
What is another name for a cooker heating element?
Aga ? will this do? Edit: No idea what Aga is. Resistive element. Heating element. Heater. Burner. Do you care to specify the appliance?
Why does the pool heater run but not get hot?
The heating element is probably broken
Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does?
The heating element of an electric heater is a "resistor", the cord which conducts the electricity is not. The resistance of the element of an electric heater is very high. As current flows through the heating element, it becomes red hot and glows. On the other hand, the resistance of the cord is low. It does not become red hot when current flows through it.
What are the common causes of hot water heater noise and how can it be resolved?
Common causes of hot water heater noise include sediment buildup, a malfunctioning heating element, or a loose heating element. To resolve these issues, you can try flushing the tank to remove sediment, replacing the heating element, or tightening the loose element.
What is the process for replacing the heating element on an electric water heater?
To replace the heating element on an electric water heater, first, turn off the power to the heater at the circuit breaker. Then, drain the water from the tank and disconnect the wires from the old heating element. Remove the old element and install the new one in its place. Reconnect the wires and refill the tank with water. Finally, turn the power back on and test the heater to ensure it is working properly.
What happens inside a convector heater?
A convection heater works on the principle of air convection currents circulating through its body and across its heating element. Heating element heats up the air, causing it to increase in volume and become buoyant. A convection heater can have an electrical heater element, a hot water coil, or a steam coil.
