How Does the Working Principle of Oil-Filled Radiator Work?
As we know, the oil-filled radiator is a kind of equipment for heating and maintaining low temperatures. It’s an electric heater that is filled with high-temperature-resistant oil. The working principle of the oil-filled radiator is also simple: The power supply to the tank turns on and off according to your setting thermostat. When the power supply is turned on and it reaches your set temperature (and timer), the thermostat will cut off the power supply automatically. The specific working principle of the 5HZ oil-filled radiator has been introduced as follows.
Working Principle of Oil Filled Radiator in Domestic Heating Systems
Step1: Basic Principle
The transformer primary carries a current (I). If there was no secondary load, the transformer primary current would be equal to me. However, there is a second load in the secondary circuit. Because of this secondary load, it makes the current decrease with the ratio of where Z represents the total impedance value of all secondary impedances in this system.
Step2: Working Principle of Oil Filled Radiator
As we know, an oil-filled radiator is an electric heater that contains high-temperature-resistant oil. The power supply to the tank turns on and off according to your setting thermostat. When the power supply is turned on and it reaches your set temperature (and timer), the thermostat will cut off the power supply automatically. Now let’s look at how exactly does an oil-filled radiator works.
The transformer primary carries a current (I). If there was no secondary load, the transformer primary current would be equal to me. However, there is a second load in the secondary circuit. Because of this secondary load, it makes the current decrease with the ratio of where Z represents the total impedance value of all secondary impedances in this system.
Step3: Principle Analysis
When you are adjusting the voltage through your control knob on your 5HZ oil-filled radiator, what you’re doing is changing how many ohms worth of resistance are across that hot wire which has some amps going through it. You can tell whether or not more or fewer amps are passing through something by looking at the reading on your voltmeter.
So it should be clear that changing the voltage cannot change the current, but if the voltage is being changed, then clearly something somewhere is getting hot. What you really want to know at this point is what’s getting hot exactly? It turns out that if you look closely at the heating element of your 5HZ oil-filled radiator, you will see that there are two wires running through it. One wire has a higher resistance than the other one does. That means that more current passes through one wire than passes through the other wire. The reason for this lies in how they are constructed inside. The thicker wire has less resistance to the current passing through it and so it gets hotter faster because more current flows through it. This heats up the oil-filled radiator more quickly.
The thick wire has actually been coil up into a tight spiral. This makes it easier for the current to flow through, but it also means that there are many fewer spirals in your 5HZ oil-filled radiator heater than there are strands in the thin wire. When you go out to buy your heating element, this is something to keep in mind because the thicker the coil of wire, the more resistance it will have and therefore after all your calculations you’ll need a higher voltage in order to get your desired amperage.
Anyway, back to how exactly do an oil-filled radiator works? The transformer primary carries a current (I). If there was no secondary load, the transformer primary current would be equal to me. However, there is a second load in the secondary circuit. Because of this secondary load, it makes the current decrease with the ratio of. Where Z represents the total impedance value of all secondary impedances in this system.
Step4: Operating Voltage Analysis
Now that you know how exactly an oil-filled radiator works does, let’s consider what happens when you change your voltage. Suppose that your oil-filled radiator worked at 12 volts and took 5 amps. Now let’s say for some reason you want to run it on 15 volts instead. What will happen is now since there are more volts available across those two wires. Now they can heat up faster even though they are taking the same amount of amps as before. So now the oil-filled radiator will heat up more quickly. Because it takes less time for those two wires to get as hot as they can.
Conclusion:
Now you should have a better idea of how exactly does an oil-filled radiator works. As you can see, the heating element is precisely engineer. So that it can transfer the most amount of heat into the oil-filled radiator with the least amount of energy. This is why your heating system works so well and you never have to worry about changing your heater core. Because there are no open flames or glowing filaments inside!
So to summarize, when you go out to buy a heating element for your oil-filled radiator. You need to know that the thicker the coil of wire. The more resistance it will have, and therefore after all your calculations, you’ll need a higher voltage in order to get your desired amperage.
