Electric space heaters are gaining popularity this winter season for their safety features and because of the high costs of fuel. The best electric space heaters can provide a substantial savings while giving warmth to your home on those cold winter days. For providing comfortable warmth when and where you need it, these heaters can be a real energy-efficient option as they are 100% efficient.

Electric space heaters are ideal for use in heating rooms of approximately 200 square feet. Although they are not meant to be used on a permanent basis, with proper use they provide an excellent means of warmth and comfort. Keep in mind that most of the older heaters may not have the proper safety features and may not be safe for your home.

Basically, there are three different types of portable space heaters - electric, gas and kerosene. With the high costs of gas and kerosene, electric heaters are your most economical option. More and more people are utilizing these for supplemental winter heat. Many of the newest and best electric space heaters are virtually always cool to the touch.

The most important aspect in using a space heater is safety. It has to be your top consideration. Here are some quick tips in what to look for and how to stay safe.

1. And heater should be properly marked with a safety tag or marking that is clearly visible. A UL sticker means a heater has met safety guidelines set by Underwriters Laboratories.

2. Never use an older space heater that may not meet current safety standards.

3. Always be sure you set any electric portable space heater on a firm, steady base.

4. Keep your heater at least three feet away from anything that could cause a fire.

5. Ceramic heat is your best energy efficient electric space heater in addition to maintaining a cool surface temperature.

6. Look for a space heater that will give you the safety of an automatic shut-off.

7. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions.

You can also find more information on safety in the US Consumer Product Safety Commission Electric Space Heaters Fact Sheet. While we all want to stay warm during the cold days of winter, the most important key is to stay safe with electric space heaters.

Bosch Opts for Vitronic’s Inspection Technology!

Bosch is using six VINSPEC automated inspection units from Vitronic to ensure the flawless production of its new piezoelectric actuators. Piezoelectric actuators work in car engine fuel injection systems to reduce fuel consumption, noise, and carbon emissions. They make for clean, efficient running vehicles.

What is piezoelectricity?

Piezoelectricity is the ability of some materials to generate an electric field in response to applied mechanical stress. This effect is reversible – such materials produce mechanical stress in response to an applied electric field.

How do piezoelectric actuators work?

A vehicle’s fuel injection system injects pressurised fuel into the engine cylinder through a valve in precise quantities at precise intervals. Traditional injection systems open and close this valve using electromagnets. Bosch’s new actuators use piezoelectricity to control the valve quicker and more accurately than traditional systems, which makes for an efficient engine.

Foil printing

Bosch’s new actuators consist of stacks of special piezoelectric ceramic foils printed with strip electrodes, and guide marks to ensure accurate stacking. After printing, a robotic gripper deposits foils on a conveyor. Fast line-scan cameras from Vitronic capture high-resolution images of each as they travel along.

The first VINSPEC system inspects these images to identify flaws on foils, such as holes, missing print, and bleeding. It also checks the position of the strip electrodes and guide marks. If the foils pass all inspections, they are dried and sent for stacking. Faulty foils are unusable, so VINSPEC immediately discards them.

Precise automated stacking

Robotic grippers then stack several foils into a block on a positioning table. Accurate stacking is essential to ensure actuators function correctly. By analysing images acquired by its cameras, the second VINSPEC system identifies a foil’s guide marks and calculates its position, before instructing the robotic grippers to stack the foils precisely. Completed stacks are laminated. This causes the foils to harden and form solid blocks. Without using the machine vision system VINSPEC it wouldn’t be possible to produce functional actuators.

Raw actuator processing

Next, a specially coated saw automatically divides the hardened blocks into bars and then into so-called ‘raw actuators’. Cutting bars into raw actuators is a delicate process. An incorrect cut can interrupt the strip electrodes and render actuators unusable. The third VINSPEC system captures photographic images of foil blocks, measures each bar to the nearest micrometer, and coordinates the saw to product precise cuts.

The fourth VINSPEC system inspects the function and quality of the raw actuators before sending them for further processing. Checks include actuator dimensions and electrode position. Only flawless actuators pass to the next production stage.

Final production stages

Bosch applies a layer of insulation finish and electrical strip contacts to actuators before installing them into the fuel injectors. Finish must be evenly applied and bubble free. Strip contacts require careful soldering and must be clear of finish. Defects lead to short circuits, which render actuators unusable. The fifth and sixth VINSPEC units monitor these processes, and immediately discard faulty actuators.

Complete control

Operators can observe the inspections on monitors at each VINSPEC station. Graphical user interfaces mean results, live photographic images, and system status reports are all easily accessible, allowing operators to intervene if they detect production discrepancies. All inspection results are stored, allowing Bosch to produce statistical evaluations and optimise its manufacturing processes.

What can I expect from these modifications?

I have a 1994 Isuzu Trooper, 91k miles, 5 speed, awesome condition. has the SOHC 3.2L 175 hp engine. What Can I expect to gain in horsepower and mpg's with the following modifications?
- K&N Short RAM with outside Safari Snorkel
- totally re-done exhaust from headers back, ceramic headers, and Flowmaster 40 exhaust from the cat back, and since i cant remove the cat due to the ease of LE looking under the vehicle, im just going to punch out the ceramics of the cat and leave it on.
- Bosch injectors, plugs, and ignition lines
- stock suspension with new 30" tires

i could be putting more into the truck than i bought it for, but it dont want to buy another vehicle. I just want a second opinion to my own, thanks for your time.

Do not hollow out the cats if they are working they do not rob power at all. That is a misnomer. It will however cause a issue in the upstream and downstream O2 sensors if you have a downstream.
You HP gain will be a 6 to 15 at 5.5k rpm mpg is relative to how you drive it.

2002 Hyundai Accent GS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car? Radiator busted. Solution? Cost $200 for the part and $160 for replacement. Oxygen sensor went out. Solution? Part cost $140 and $5 to replace.
