The high popularity of electric kettles is explained by the simplicity and ease of use. The boiling time of water in such a device is much shorter than in a conventional kettle. And all this is due to the presence of a special water heating element located in the bottom of the electric kettle - TEN.
Features of heating elements
The manufacturer offers the buyer to purchase a heater for a kettle of the following types:
The principle of operation of the spiral practically does not differ from the well-known boiler. The only difference is the location of the spiral: in the electric kettle, it is placed parallel to the bottom of the tank.
The disk heater for the teapot is located at the very bottom of the tank for heating water. Consequently, the heating area of the disk heater is much larger. Water boils many times faster than in a teapot, on the bottom of which a spiral is placed. This feature makes the device in which the disk heater is installed for the kettle more preferable when choosing.
Benefits
Due to its peculiarity, a heating element for a teapot disk can even heat a glass of water in less than a minute, while a device with a spiral heater is not suitable for this mode of operation, because a spiral heating element must be completely immersed in the liquid.
Due to low-quality water, teapots form in the teapots. It is impossible to get rid of this phenomenon. The frequency with which scale will form inside the kettle, and how often you will have to clean it, depends on several factors: the quality of the water and the coating of the container into which it is poured. Heating appliances, which are based on a disk heater, are much easier to clean.
If the heater for the kettle burns out, discard it and purchase a new one, since the heating elements located in electric kettles cannot be repaired or restored.
