Jääksoojusindikaatorid

Jääksoojusindikaatorid, also known as residual heat indicators, are devices designed to show if a heating surface, such as a hob or radiator, is still hot after it has been turned off. These indicators are a safety feature that helps prevent burns and other injuries by alerting users to the presence of residual heat.

There are several types of jääksoojusindikaatorid. Some are visual, typically using lights or color changes to indicate the heat level. For example, a light might remain on or change color as long as the surface is above a certain temperature and then turn off or revert to its original color when it has cooled sufficiently. Others are mechanical and might involve a physical component that moves or changes appearance based on temperature. In some electronic appliances, the indicator might be integrated into a digital display, showing a heat icon or numerical temperature reading.

The primary purpose of these indicators is to enhance user safety, particularly in environments where children or vulnerable individuals might be present. By clearly signaling that a surface is hot, they reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with hot elements. This is especially important for appliances like electric stoves where the heating elements can retain heat for a significant period after use. The presence of a jääksoojusindikaator provides an extra layer of awareness and precaution for the user.
