We are the leader in manufacturing Domestic Heaters & Domestic Heating Elements.
We have state of the art infrastructure to manufacture any range of heating elements.
We manufacture diversified products & parts from Domestic, Industrial Heaters to SS Tank & Solar Water Tank.
Domestic heating elements are essential components in various household appliances that generate heat for cooking, water heating, space heating, and other applications. Here’s an overview of common types, materials, and applications:
1. Types of Domestic Heating Elements
a. Resistance Heating Elements
– Most common type, made of materials with high electrical resistance.
– Heat is produced when electricity passes through the resistive material (Joule heating).
– Used in:
– Electric stoves & ovens
– Water heaters
– Space heaters
– Hairdryers & irons
b. Induction Heating Elements
– Uses electromagnetic induction to heat cookware (not the element itself).
– Found in induction cooktops.
c. Radiant (Infrared) Heating Elements
– Emit infrared radiation to directly heat objects/people.
– Used in:
– Infrared space heaters
– Toasters
– Grill heaters
d. PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Heating Elements
– Self-regulating – resistance increases with temperature, preventing overheating.
– Used in:
– Portable heaters
– Car seat warmers
– Hairdryers
2. Common Materials Used
– Nichrome (Nickel-Chromium Alloy) – Most widely used (e.g., toasters, hair dryers).
– Kanthal (Iron-Chromium-Aluminum Alloy) – High-temperature resistance (ovens, heaters).
– Tungsten – Used in high-temperature applications like halogen heaters.
– Ceramic (PTC elements) – Self-regulating and energy-efficient.
– Copper or Stainless Steel (Water Heaters) – Corrosion-resistant.
3. Key Applications in Homes
a. Water Heating
– Immersion Heaters – Submerged in water tanks.
– Tankless Water Heaters – On-demand heating with high-power elements.
b. Cooking Appliances
– Electric Stovetops – Coil or smooth-top (halogen/radiant).
– Ovens & Toasters – Nichrome wire coils.
– Microwave Ovens – Use magnetron (not a traditional heating element).
c. Space Heating
– Fan Heaters – Metal coil + fan for air circulation.
– Oil-Filled Radiators – Resistive element heats oil.
– Underfloor Heating – Electric mats with resistive wires.
d. Personal Care Appliances
– Hairdryers, curling irons, electric blankets.
4. Safety & Efficiency Considerations
– Thermal Cutoffs & Thermostats – Prevent overheating.
– Insulation & Sheathing – Protects against electrical hazards.
– Energy Efficiency – Ceramic and PTC heaters are more efficient than traditional coils.
– Maintenance – Limescale buildup in water heaters reduces efficiency (descaling needed).
