Description
PTC heating elements are the latest and most energy efficient towel rail heating elements on the market today. . PTC technology unlike traditional heating elements that use a resistance wire, use ceramic stones. These ceramic stones are manufactured to heat up to a around 65 degrees and then maintain that temperature by reducing the power used. Initially the element will use 300 watts of power until the rail reaches its’ designed operating temperature of 65°C after which it will reduce the electrical used by as much as 30%. As a result, a separate thermostatic control unit is not required, and the heating element uses significantly less electricity than a conventional heating elements. The 600watt element is suitable for 300mm and 400mm wide x 1800mm and 500mm and 600mm wide x 1600mm to 1800mm high towel rails. This element can also be used to convert a standard central heating towel warmer to run on electricity – perfect for when you don’t want to alter your central heating pipework, Or also set up your rail to be duel duel so central heating in the winter and electric in the summer
