The principle of operation of the car stove from the cigarette lighter

car heater
A device that works on the principle of a household hair dryer comes to the aid of car owners. By installing a lightweight compact device in a convenient place and connecting it to the cigarette lighter, you will instantly receive a stream of warm air.
Устройство
The air furnace is designed simply: a heating element is placed in a plastic case, which is powered by a 12V on-board network. There is also a fan that blows warm air into the cabin.
This is due to the capabilities of automotive wiring and the limitations of the cigarette lighter fuse.
Types
Heaters from the cigarette lighter structurally differ slightly - in terms of power. A ceramic or spiral heating element can also be installed inside. Purpose: specifically for heating the windshield or cabin space.
But all the variety of thermal equipment powered by a cigarette lighter is combined into one type - electric air heaters.
Advantages and disadvantages of stoves from the cigarette lighter
Drivers who used additional cabin heaters appreciated the positive and negative sides of the devices.
Among the advantages of the units note:
- Possibility of food from the standard socket-lighter, directly from the accumulator and batteries.
- Stable warm air jet.
- Compact oven that takes up minimal space.
- Mobility of the device, installed anywhere in the machine, with the possibility of carrying if necessary.
- Ease of installation.
- Ready to work immediately after installation.
- Air flow directed in the right direction to defrost frozen glazing.

- A large assortment that allows you to choose a model for specific tasks and at an affordable price.
However, air stoves that work on the principle of a hair dryer are not full heaters: such devices do not have enough power.
Users found other shortcomings, of which they made an impressive list:
- The market is flooded with a large number of cheap Chinese devices that do not perform as advertised. And even dangerous to use, because they can melt the cigarette lighter socket and provoke an accident in the power grid.
- From frequent use of the stove, the battery is quickly discharged (especially in small cars).
- Many models are not equipped with safety mounts, so you have to drill holes to put the device on the bolts. Such actions violate the integral structure of the body.
- Electric models are not suitable for all machines.
Drivers also note that with a weak regular stove, heaters-hair dryers do little to help.
