Innovative Heating Elements: How They Drive Energy Efficiency
Table of Contents
A heating element is a device used to convert electrical energy into heat energy. It consists of a heating resistor and accessories. Electric current passes through the resistor to generate heat. It is commonly used in household appliances such as electric wall-hung boilers.
The key to the efficient heating of our electric wall-hung boilers lies in our patented heating elements. Let me give you an in-depth understanding of how heating elements drive energy efficiency.
Electric Boilers with Immersion Heaters
Electric boilers often use immersion heaters to generate heat directly within the water. Recent innovations in immersion heater technology, such as advanced alloy materials, improve their heat transfer efficiency while reducing energy loss through resistance.
Immersion Elements are designed to heat water quickly and maintain the desired temperature with minimal energy input. It is worth noting that our patented heating element is not a traditional immersion type, but a separation of the water pipe and the heating pipe. This design avoids scale and electric shock.
Heating Element Structure
The heating element consists of a protective casing, a resistive heating core, electrical insulation, heating tube, water channel, etc.
JNOD’s patented heating element uses the best materials as key components: Aluminum-magnesium alloy casting as the heating element housing. Nickel-chromium resistance heating core is used to convert electrical energy into thermal energy. Electrically insulating magnesium powder is wrapped around the heating wire. Stainless steel heating tube and stainless steel water channel are used to transfer heat and pass water.
JNOD Heating Element Advantages
The structure of a heating element consists of various components designed to convert electrical energy into heat efficiently. Here are the advantages of each key component.
Aluminum magnesium alloy casings protect the internal heating wires in electric boilers, ensuring efficient heat transfer to the water while being lightweight, durable, and providing quick, even heat distribution. Cast aluminum heating elements are the best choice for hard water.
Nickel-chromium resistive heating cores offer high-temperature tolerance, durability, efficient heat transfer, and fast heating response, making them ideal for reliable and energy-efficient water heating. High heating efficiency, up to 97%.
Magnesium powder used as electrical insulation in electric boilers provides excellent heat resistance, prevents electrical conductivity, and enhances safety by ensuring efficient heat transfer without compromising the integrity of internal heating elements.
Stainless steel heating tubes and water channels in electric wall-hung boilers offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and efficient heat transfer, ensuring a long lifespan and maintaining water purity while providing consistent performance. A stainless steel water channel is at least 3 meters long to allow the water heater to fully heat the water.
Why are heating elements coiled?
This “heating element” refers to heating wire. Coiling the heating element increases the surface area, which allows more heat to be transferred efficiently. It is more compact and consistent in length. The longer the element, the greater the resistance, which generates more heat. The coiling design helps distribute heat more evenly, avoiding hot spots and ensuring consistent heating across the element.
It provides structural flexibility, allowing the heating element to expand and contract as the temperature changes without cracking. This can extend the life of the elements and keep efficiency high.
In short, the coiled design improves its performance, efficiency and lifespan.
Summary
Innovative heating elements in electric boilers, like those used in JNOD models, are essential for energy efficiency. Materials such as aluminum-magnesium alloy casings, nickel-chromium cores, and stainless steel components ensure fast, even heat transfer, durability, and long-lasting performance while reducing energy consumption.
The coiled design of the heating elements increases surface area, which distributes heat evenly and prevents hotspots, ensuring better performance. Contact us and start enjoying endless hot water!
