Product Overview

PTC heater is most widely applied to electric vehicle today for defrosting and air heating.Compared to traditional heater, PTC Heater for Electric Vehicles is safer and more reliable because the self-regulating PTC element will not be damaged without air flow. Also, power of thermostat will automatically be cut off when it is overheating. It is an excellent air pre-heater for vehicles to start under -40℃ since it can start quickly under low-temperature condition.

FAQ about Ptc Heater for Vehicle

How a Ptc Heater for Vehicle Typically Works:

● Structure: A PTC heater consists of a ceramic element that has a positive temperature coefficient. The ceramic element is composed of a conductive material with embedded electrically conductive particles.

● Electrical Current: When an electrical current is applied to the PTC Heater Automotive, the resistance of the ceramic element increases with temperature. This property is known as positive temperature coefficient, which means that as the temperature rises, the resistance also increases.

● Heat Generation: As current flows through the PTC Heater Automotive, the resistance causes the ceramic element to heat up. The embedded conductive particles facilitate heat transfer and distribute the warmth evenly.

● Temperature Regulation: PTC heaters have a built-in self-regulating feature. As the ceramic element heats up, its resistance increases, limiting the amount of current flowing through it. This self-regulation prevents overheating and ensures a consistent and safe operating temperature.

● Integration in the Vehicle: PTC heaters are typically integrated into the vehicle's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. They can be used as auxiliary heaters to provide instant warmth during cold starts or as supplemental heating elements to assist the main heating system.

Benefits of PTC Heaters in Vehicles:

●Quick Heating: PTC heaters have a fast response time, allowing them to provide heat almost immediately after being turned on.

●Energy Efficiency: PTC heaters are energy-efficient because they regulate their own temperature, preventing excessive power consumption and reducing strain on the vehicle's electrical system.

●Safety: The self-regulating nature of PTC Heater Automotive helps prevent overheating and reduces the risk of fire hazards. Additionally, they do not rely on open flames or hot surfaces, making them safer than some other heating systems.

●Compact Design: PTC heaters are relatively compact, making them suitable for installation in vehicles where space is limited.
