PTC智能加热器是一个非常不w and different way to manage aquarium water temperature from Innovative Marine. When you first look at it, the combination of a centralized thermostat, metal heating element, and separate temperature sensor appears to be in line with the higher end temperature solutions currently available in the aquarium hobby.
However, the core恒温approach to Innovative Marine’s new Smart Heater is unlike the usual heaters we’ve used in the broader aquarium hobby for decades. The PTC acronym stands for ‘positive temperature coefficient’ which is a form of self-regulating heating element that uses the inherent resistivity of the material, therefore making it much more efficient and reliable than typical resistance coil visible in many heater models.
You don’t have to fully understand how this heating method works to appreciate and enjoy the benefits because for as much as we invest in our fish, corals and livestock, temperature is the most important parameter governing all biological reactions in any living system, especially in aquariums. Innovative Marine recognizes the importance of a good heating system so they’re really investing in this newer PTC based form of aquarium heater technology.
创新的Marine的PTC智能加热器系统具有富功能的恒温器，带有可移动的远程温度探针，非常受欢迎的ON/OFF ON/OFF开关，用于Audible Alarm，而不是两个加热器电源连接。能够连接两个加热器不仅对具有很高的加热需求的水族馆有用，而且对于无法容纳一个大型加热元件的较小的油底壳的水箱。
因此，如果您有一个无法处理单个200瓦加热器的方形污水池，则可以选择包含两个单独的100W加热元件的套件，以达到S较小空间中相同的加热能力。像其他雄心勃勃的创新海洋产品线一样，该公司已经越过顶级，确保所有必要的配件都包括在内，有用并真正改善了整体用户体验。
A PTC Smart Heater bundle from Innovative Marine comes with dual magnetic mount for each heater element which also feature a silicone insert to keep it snugly in place. Even the remote temperature sensor also comes with its own magnet mount so you can place this critical component of the thermostat in an ideal location.
If you’re highly accustomed to submersible heaters that cost between $30 and $60 you might experience a little bit of sticker shock when you see the pricing of the PTC Smart Heater system.The PTC Smart Heater from IM starts at $199 for a 100 watt heater with a single heating element, and up to $349 for a 500 watt, single element heater system.
Dual Element PTC Smart加热器的200瓦，双元元件套件的价格为299美元，使用两个500瓦加热器的1000瓦套件的双元元件套件和最高为499美元。对于这种金钱创新的海洋，请确保您获得尽可能多的价值，我们相信它将热水族馆的水像野兽一样，但是在此水平上投资温度控制确实有些刺痛，而无需使用双温度控制选项与冷水机一起工作，也没有无线连接性或温度记录功能。
Half a thousand dollars might seem like a lot for a 1000 watt heater but this is the level of power that you don’t want getting stuck on and frying your fish and it is actually comparable in cost tosimilar models used large pondsand aquaculture. This may not be a cost effective solution for a multi-tank fish room but it is really targeted at aquarists with one or two displays that they really treasure. If you’ve ever heard some of the very real horror stories of tank wipeouts due to heaters sticking on and cooking the aquarium life, it makes a lot of sense to invest in a heating solution that avoids the pitfalls of decades old aquarium heater technology and we look forward to testing out these new heaters when they are released.
