Washing Machine Heating Elements: What you need to know Every modern washing machine needs a heating element to deliver heated water for the removal of stubborn stains and grease. Surfactants work properly when water heated above room temperature is used. Fabric and clothes suitable for such washes can be cleaned perfectly using this method. This is why Washing Machine Heating Elements are installed in domestic and commercial washing machines to deliver the best cleaning process. What is a washing machine heating element? If we technically consider it, a heating system is a machine that contains a heating coil embedded inside a metal alloy. The heating system is controlled by a thermostat that disconnects the heating element when the desired temperature is reached. Water heating elements suppliers manufacture items that are specifically designed for domestic and commercial purposes. These heating elements are designed considering the certain factors mentioned below. â—? Amount of water to be heated It is probably the most important factor that decides the type of heating element and design to be used. The heating coil inside the alloy will consume electric energy and transfer heat to the metallic cover. This cover or the alloy shield comes in contact with the water to be heated. Generally, water is stored in a small reservoir to get heated. It is then poured inside the main drum of the washing machine after getting mixed with cold water to achieve the designated temperature. Washing Machine Heating Elements come with thermostatic control that helps to maintain the temperature of the heated water. When it reaches the desired level, the heating system gets cut from the energy source. The amount of water to be heated will decide the level of energy consumption. â—? How frequently hot water is needed The frequency or the flow of hot water also determines what kind of heating element should be used and where it will be installed. In commercial washing machines, the required flow of water is higher than the domestic ones. It will determine the rate of heating and the most suitable element to be used to transfer heat. â—? Rate of heat transfer The rate of heat transfer will determine the type and design of the heating element to be added. The surface area of the Washing Machine Heating Elements will determine the rate of heat transfer to the fluid in contact.
