Is carbon crystal or carbon fiber better for electric heaters? The difference between carbon crystal heating and carbon fiber

Nowadays, people's winter heating products are essential. There are many kinds of heating products on the market, such as graphene, carbon fiber, carbon crystal, ceramics and so on. So which material is better? Is carbon crystal or carbon fiber better for electric heaters? What is the difference between carbon crystal heating and carbon fiber?

Is the carbon crystal of electric heater better than carbon fiber?

There are two kinds of floor heating materials, one is the traditional alloy wire metal material, and the other is the emerging non-metallic materials such as carbon crystal, carbon fiber and graphene.

Compared with traditional metal materials, graphene, carbon fiber, carbon crystal and other emerging heating materials have the characteristics of more environmental protection, more comfort, higher thermal conversion rate and more energy saving. However, because it is a new material, the market of carbon fiber, graphene, carbon crystal floor heating and electric heaters is chaotic and there is a lot of speculation. Let me tell you the difference between carbon crystal, carbon fiber and graphene.

Graphene, carbon crystal and carbon fiber are all carbon atom materials. However, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as carbon crystals. There is no such material as carbon crystal in the official documents, only carbon fiber has appeared, so carbon crystal is just a gimmick of the merchants. At present, the so-called carbon crystal refers to a substance composed of carbon particles, and some people think that carbon fiber is composed of carbon crystals, and carbon fiber is an advanced and strengthened carbon crystal.

If carbon fiber is compared with carbon crystal (carbon particles), the corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, stability, safety and comfort when using carbon fiber will be better than carbon crystal.

In 20 10, two physicists from Manchester University in England won the Nobel Prize for successfully extracting and separating graphene, so graphene has been heated in recent years.

But in fact, graphene technology is still immature, which leads to high cost of graphene. Therefore, most of the graphene heating products on the market now are gimmicks, not real graphene products, and even some heating products with graphene names are actually made of carbon crystals, but in the early years, carbon crystal materials were not successful, so they were changed to graphene.

Generally speaking, carbon fiber is recognized as a relatively mature heating material of graphene, carbon fiber and carbon crystal, but the development of carbon fiber heating in China is also relatively general, while Japan and South Korea are relatively mature.

How to choose carbon crystal, graphene and carbon fiber heating products

If you plan to install floor heating, large-sized houses will give priority to water heating; If it is a small-sized house, you can consider electric floor heating. It is recommended to consider traditional heating cables or carbon fiber surface floor heating sheets with relatively mature technology.

If you buy an electric blanket or electric heater, the carbon fiber, graphene and carbon crystal mentioned by the merchants may all be carbon crystals or carbon fibers, but it is suggested that you give priority to carbon fibers with mature technology or other mature heaters, such as electric oil heaters and pct ceramic heaters.
