Notice for manufacturer and consumer: |
PTC as heating element in iron, the time is short, and there is little experience. The future will be great, if the manufacturers of PTC and the ones of iron can work together.
If you use PTC as the heating element, the designer must ensure compact assembling, and using high heat-conducting materials.
One PTC heating element can be applied on 100V~230V, the temperature difference would be about 10℃.
