Electric Kettles are among the easiest domestic applications. When lifting the lid and taking a look at the very bottom of the container, you will see a thick metal called the heating element. Via the process of Joule warming in the kettle, an electric kettle heating element converts electrical energy into heat.

In an electric kettle, a current is run through a kettle element, which is essentially a large resistor, and this process generates the heat needed to raise the temperature of the water.

We at Airex Heaters make 2 types which are either nickel-based or iron-based. The nickel-based ones are by and large nichrome, a mix that involves around 80% nickel and 20 percent chromium.

Moreover, a resistance wire is utilized in this component. Metallic resistance heating elements can be utilized in the form of a wire, ribbon, or coil. Together with other typical heating appliances, kettle elements are also used in toasters and hair dryers. The oxide coating prevents the wire inside from burning away or breaking, even if submerged in water, such as inside an electric kettle or large water heater.
