2. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

   Because the heating elements are at a relatively low temperature, far-infrared heaters do not give emissions and smell from dust, dirt, formaldehyde, toxic fumes from paint-coating, etc. [10] This has made this type of space heating very popular among people with severe allergies and multiple chemical sensitivity in Europe. [11]

3. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

   Most modern electric heating devices use nichrome wire as the active element; the heating element, depicted on the right, uses nichrome wire supported by ceramic insulators. Alternatively, a heat pump can achieve around 150% – 600% efficiency for heating, or COP 1.5 - 6.0 Coefficient of performance , because it uses electric power only for ...

4. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

   The development of quartz halogen linear lamps allowed much higher power density up to 200 watts/inch of lamp (8 w/mm), useful for industrial heating, drying and processing applications. [3] By adjusting the voltage applied to incandescent lamps, the spectrum of the radiated energy can be made to reduce visible light and emphasize infrared ...

5. Ceramic heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_heater

   A ceramic heater as a consumer product is a space heater that generates heat using a heating element of ceramic with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). [1] [2] [failed verification] Ceramic heaters are usually portable and typically used for heating a room or small office, and are of similar utility to metal-element fan heaters.

6. Oil heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_heater

   The oil has a relatively high specific heat capacity and a high boiling point. The high specific heat capacity allows the oil to effectively transfer thermal energy from the heating element, while the oil's high boiling point allows it to remain in the liquid phase for heating, so that the heater does not have to be a high-pressure vessel.

7. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

   Halogen lamps are the heating-elements in halogen ovens, infrared heaters and ceramic cooktops. Low wattage halogen lamp arrays are widely used by monitor lizard keepers. Two or three small halogen lamps can produce all the heat needed in an enclosure and are recognized by the animals as sources of heat preventing curious individuals from ...
