PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heaters have revolutionized the way we think about heating technology. With the increasing demand for safe, efficient, and long-lasting heating systems, PTC heaters have become a popular choice for a wide range of applications. In this article, we will explore the working principle, advantages, applications, and future potential of PTC heaters.

    What is a PTC Heater?

    A PTC heater is a type of electric heater that utilizes a special material known as PTC ceramics, which have the unique property of increasing resistance as their temperature rises. This self-regulating feature means that the heater can automatically adjust its temperature without requiring a separate thermostat or overheating protection mechanism. The more heat generated, the higher the resistance becomes, thereby reducing the current and preventing the heater from becoming dangerously hot.
