Abstract
The natural convection heater is a commonly used electric heater, which belongs to the chimney structure heater. In this paper, a three-dimensional model is built and simulated by the finite element analysis software. The influence of chimney height, vent size and vent shape on chimney effect was studied by orthogonal experiment. The simulation results show that the electric heater with 85 mm chimney height, 6 mm equivalent diameter of the vent and square shape of the vent has the best heat transfer effect. The simulation work can play a guiding role for the customization of electric heater structure.
