This thermal application equipment category includes devices that convert electrical energy to heat for various purposes. Products range from simple heating elements to sophisticated cooking appliances and industrial heating systems. Technical specifications focus on heating capacity, temperature control precision, energy efficiency, safety features, and application-specific performance metrics. Unlike combustion-based heating (HS 7321), these electrical systems produce heat through resistance heating or electromagnetic energy without direct combustion.
