2. Heating element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

   A heating element is a device used for conversion of electric energy into heat, consisting of a heating resistor and accessories. [1] Heat is generated by the passage of electric current through a resistor through a process known as Joule heating .

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. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

   A positive-temperature-coefficient heating element (PTC heating element), or self-regulating heater, is an electrical resistance heater whose resistance increases significantly with temperature. The name self-regulating heater comes from the tendency of such heating elements to maintain a constant temperature when supplied by a given voltage.

5. Watlow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watlow

   Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co. is a family-owned company that designs and manufactures industrial electric heaters, sensors, and controllers. Founded in 1922, it has nine factories and three technology centers in the United States , Mexico , Europe and Asia , and has sales offices in 16 countries.

6. Frying pan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frying_pan

   Electric frying pan. An electric frying pan or electric skillet incorporates an electric heating element into the frying pan itself and so can function independently off of a cooking stove. Accordingly, it has heat-insulated legs for standing on a countertop. (The legs usually attach to handles.)

7. Joule heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_heating

   Joule heating (also known as resistive, resistance, or Ohmic heating) is the process by which the passage of an electric current through a conductor produces heat.. Joule's first law (also just Joule's law), also known in countries of the former USSR as the Joule–Lenz law, [1] states that the power of heating generated by an electrical conductor equals the product of its resistance and the ...
