2. Block heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_heater

   The most common type of block heater is an electric heating element in the engine block, which is connected through a power cord often routed through the vehicle's grille. Some block heaters are designed to replace one of the engine's core plugs and therefore heat the engine via the coolant. [4] Alternative methods of warming an engine include: [5]

3. Fan heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_heater

   Electric fan heater. A fan heater, also called a blow heater, is a heater that works by using a fan to pass air over a heat source (e.g. a heating element). [1] This heats up the air, which then leaves the heater, warming up the surrounding room. They can heat an enclosed space such as a room faster than a heater without a fan, [2] but like any ...

4. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

   A fan heater, also called a forced convection heater, is a kind of convection heater that includes an electric fan to speed up the airflow. They operate with considerable noise caused by the fan. They have a moderate risk of ignition hazard if they make unintended contact with furnishings.

5. Thermo-magnetic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermo-magnetic_motor

   These systems operate in a magnetic Brayton cycle, in a reverse way of the magnetocaloric refrigerators. [8] Experiments have produced only extremely inefficient working prototypes, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] however, thermodynamic analysis indicate that thermomagnetic motors present high efficiency related to Carnot efficiency for small temperature ...

6. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

   For example, space heaters use heating elements much hotter than the room being heated. In these applications, a thermostat may be better able to sense and control the temperature of the item being heated. Nevertheless, a self-regulating heating element may still be used to keep the heating element from damaging itself or other parts of the heater.

7. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   The typical speed-torque relationship of a standard NEMA Design B polyphase induction motor is as shown in the curve at right. Suitable for most low performance loads such as centrifugal pumps and fans, Design B motors are constrained by the following typical torque ranges: [30] [b] Breakdown torque (peak torque), 175–300% of rated torque
