Geyserwise 3Kw 230V Stainless Steel PTC Geyser Element 3000W AC Only
GeyserWise introduces a groundbreaking 3000W PTC AC Element, crafted from stainless steel, redefining the standards for electric geyser heating elements. This innovative product harnesses Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) technology, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional resistance-wire heating elements commonly used in the South African market.
Innovative Heating Solution: Unlike conventional heating elements that rely on resistance wire and can reach internal temperatures above 500ºC, the GeyserWise PTC element employs ceramic PTC chips as its heating source. These chips exhibit self-limiting temperature characteristics, ensuring the element never exceeds its designed surface temperature, thereby drastically reducing the risk of overheating and potential damage.
Enhanced Safety and Durability: The PTC technology significantly improves the safety and functionality of the heating element. It mitigates the risks associated with scale buildup or operation in air due to a drop in water level, conditions that can lead to rapid increases in temperature and potential damage in traditional elements. The self-regulating nature of PTC chips allows for a near-zero current draw at its designated temperature, preventing the element from surpassing its intended surface temperature, regardless of the current applied.
Energy Efficiency and Simplified Design: The dynamic resistance and output of the PTC heater make it an exemplary choice for controlled electric heating, potentially eliminating the need for thermostatic controls. This simplification of design, alongside reduced energy consumption, offers significant cost savings and contributes to the product's reliability by removing components prone to failure, such as thermostats.
