【1】 How to buy electric heater
Due to the different purchase of raw materials and processing technology, the prices of products with similar appearance in the market are high and low. Consumers can not blindly consider low prices when purchasing. In order to pursue profits, some manufacturers use inferior parts in production and manufacturing to reduce costs, which will bring potential safety hazards to consumers. We must pay special attention to them when purchasing.
① Choose according to the size of the room. The heating area per 100W power is about 1 square meter. Generally speaking, 1500W electric heater can be selected for a space of about 15 square meters. The capacity of household electricity meter is usually 5a-10a. It is best to choose an electric heater with power below 2000W to prevent power failure or other accidents due to excessive power.
② Purchase according to the room thermal insulation conditions. If the thermal insulation condition of the room is poor, the heating of the overall space will consume a lot of electricity. Only directional heating of the local space is required. You can choose a close-up radiant heater, such as a far-infrared heater; If the thermal insulation condition is good and the overall space of the living room needs to be heated, you can choose a convection heater, such as Youting electric heater.
③ If you use it in the bathroom or toilet, you must consider purchasing Yuba or heater with excellent waterproof performance. If it is used in the living room and bedroom, it can be considered to choose radiant heater or Youting electric heater.
【2】 Pay attention to safe use
① The oil heater shall be placed upright
The oil heater must be used upright, not upside down or obliquely. Because the oil heater heats the heat transfer oil through the heating pipe at the lower end to release heat, inverted or inclined placement will cause empty burning and burn out the heating pipe. When children use the oil heater, it is best to have barrier measures.
② The electric heating pipe shall prevent splashing and bursting
When using quartz tube and halogen tube electric heater, do not splash water on the electric heating tube to avoid bursting of the electric heating tube. The front should be far away from inflammable, explosive, deformable and discolored objects, and other objects should also be more than 1m away.
③ Do not cover the electric heater
Do not cover the electric heater, otherwise it is easy to cause short circuit due to poor heat dissipation, or ignite the cover due to high temperature. When drying clothes with a special clothes drying rack, the water shall be wrung dry to avoid danger caused by water droplets in the control box of the electric heater.
