  2. Convection heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_heater

    A convection heater, also known as a convector heater, is a type of heater that utilizes convection currents [1] to heat and circulate air. These currents move through the appliance and across its heating element, [ 2 ] using thermal conduction [ 3 ] to warm the air and decrease its density relative to colder air, causing it to rise.

  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. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

    Thermoelectric generators are primarily used as remote and off-grid power generators for unmanned sites. They are the most reliable power generator in such situations as they do not have moving parts (thus virtually maintenance-free), work day and night, perform under all weather conditions and can work without battery backup.

  5. Electric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    An electric heater is an electrical device that converts an electric current into heat. [1] The heating element inside every electric heater is an electrical resistor , and works on the principle of Joule heating : an electric current passing through a resistor will convert that electrical energy into heat energy.

  6. Space heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_heater

    Convective space heaters utilize convection to transfer heat from the power source to a space. These heaters typically either rely on natural or forced convection. Natural convection is a phenomenon where temperature variations in an environment generate fluid flow. Forced convection heaters utilize a device like a fan to generate air flow and ...

  7. Storage heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_heater

    Fan-assisted storage heaters employ an electric fan to drive air through the heater rather than relying on convection. The fan is usually controlled by a thermostat which allows the user to set the desired room temperature. The use of the fan means these heaters can be insulated more than other models, and therefore lose less heat due to heat ...
