ENERGY SENSE Comparing several types of electric space heatersJAMES DULLEY
High intensity heaters typically operate unvented. Proper ventilation is necessary to dissipate combustion gases released into the space. Infrared Space Heaters Infrared space heaters are best applied in buildings with high ceilings and areas where there is a high demand for a heat load, such as ...
These are heaters that operate on gas and whose Unique Selling Point (USP) is that they do not have vents, and hence neither do they draw fresh air from outside nor release emissions outside. These types of gas heaters have been banned by some states as they are believed to be harmful ...
These heaters are great for houses that don’t have high heating needs, providing more insulation, space efficiency, and lowered leakage of air. A single unit will suffice, saving energy and space. With these heaters, it’s a literal win-win—both your space and water are heated, though i...
Air HeatersAir heaters Air heaters are a type of electric heater that uses air to warm the surrounding environment. This category includes forced air heaters, radiant heaters, and space heaters. Forced air heaters use a fan or blower to circulate air, allowing cold air to enter the heater ...
“HVAC” stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and refers to any system that provides ventilation or temperature control for a space. These systems include everything from central air and heating to portable space heaters and AC units, and there are multiple types to choose from....
Finned strip heaters are seen in ovens and space heaters. Etched Foil Heaters: Etched foil heaters can also be referred to as thin-film heaters. In this type, the resistive heating material is etched and bonded onto a foil usually made of aluminum. If more flexibility and tear resistance ...
You can do all this at the touch of a button or even by connecting the controls to a smart device. The only drawback is that they use the water from an existing hot water source like one of thetypes of water heaters, so you need to have a system in place to install a digital sho...
In terms of the design, ultra-slim toilet seats don’t take up a lot of space and they look really great too. The one pictured above might seem to have sometypes of toilet flangesattached but what that really is is a child-sized toilet seat to help them when potty training on adult...
space heaters and coffee makers. A load that draws current in a sinusoidal waxing-and-waning pattern in concert with a sinusoidal variation in voltage – that is, the maximum, minimum and zero points of the voltage and current values over time line up – is a purely resistive one and inclu...
