Ptc air heater is one kind of heater that are able to maintain automated temperature control and power saving. It depends on ptc elements as its heating resources, and corrugated plate made of aluminum alloy as its radiator. The heaters are processed by conglutination and welding. Heat resistant plastic (pps) frame is equipped for more easy installation for final applications. Product features: - very low air resistance - long service life - no thermostat required - virtually unlimited life - no moving parts to wear - very low cost - no electrical noise - the higher the temperature, the more electricity efficient - does not burn when in contact with paper, matches or clothes Typical applications: - air conditioners - drier - warm air generator - air conditioner for both warm and cold temperature - automobiles Carton
PTC series electronic heating devices are designed for fan applications requiring automated temperature control and energy efficiency. These heaters use PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) elements as their heating source, paired with an aluminum alloy corrugated radiator for heat dissipation. The assembly is processed via bonding and welding, with a heat-resistant PPS plastic frame for easy installation in end-use systems.
The low air resistance design ensures minimal pressure drop across the heater, while the absence of moving parts contributes to long service life and silent operation. Since PTC elements self-regulate temperature, no external thermostat is required, reducing system complexity and component count.
These devices are commonly used in HVAC systems, automotive climate control, industrial fans, and consumer appliances where compact size, reliability, and energy savings are priorities.

Not ideal for:
Compared to wire-wound or mica heaters, PTC devices offer lower air resistance, longer life, and self-regulation without thermostats, but may have higher upfront cost per watt and lower maximum operating temperatures.

Shanghai Minkvon Industry Co., Ltd. specializes in the design and manufacture of PTC-based heating solutions for industrial and consumer applications. With over 15 years of experience, they focus on energy-efficient, maintenance-free heating technologies.
The company operates a modern facility in Shanghai with in-house R&D, prototyping, and automated production lines for PTC heaters. They serve global markets with an emphasis on custom OEM solutions for fan and climate control systems.
PTC elements are designed for long service life with virtually no wear, as they self-regulate temperature without moving parts. Lifespan depends on operating conditions; ask the supplier for expected cycles or hours at your target temperature.
Yes. PTC elements inherently self-regulate temperature based on resistance changes, eliminating the need for an external thermostat in most applications.
Confirm with supplier; PTC heaters typically operate up to 120 - 150°C, but this varies by model and material choices.
They can be used in humid conditions if properly sealed and rated by the supplier. Ask about IP ratings or conformal coating options for your environment.
Mount the heater perpendicular to airflow with the radiator fins aligned for optimal heat transfer. Avoid blockages or sharp bends upstream/downstream. See supplier installation guidelines for spacing and orientation.
Yes. The supplier can provide aluminum alloy radiators with anodized or coated finishes, or stainless steel alternatives, depending on the application. Specify requirements during inquiry.
Common certifications include CE, RoHS, and UL. Ask the supplier for a full list of applicable certifications and test reports for your target markets.
Yes. The supplier typically provides samples for validation, subject to minimum order quantities or fees. Discuss testing protocols and lead times during inquiry.
