An ironing panel and an ironing device are related to clothes ironing appliances. The temperature distribution of existing ironing panels is non-uniform during ironing. The ironing panel of the invention comprises a panel body provided with a patch having a patch ironing surface, the patch ironing surface and a main ironing surface are continuous to form a complete ironing surface, and a gap is reserved between the patch and the panel body to form a heat homogenizing cavity. When the ironing panel works, an electric heater transfers heat to the panel body, the main ironing surface away from the electric heater is maintained at a low temperature, and heat from the electric heater is indirectly transferred to the patch ironing surface via the main ironing surface and the heat homogenizing cavity rather than being directly transferred to the patch ironing surface.

In an electric water heater having adjustable set point and differential temperatures, upper and lower heating elements, and associated temperature sensors respectively operative to sense upper and lower tank water temperatures, a specially designed control system is provided for controlling the heating elements. The control system is operative to prevent dry firing of the heating elements by measuring temperatures over time with the temperature sensors.

A heated aerosol-generating article for use with an electrically-operated aerosol-generating device includes an outlet end and a distal end. The article may include a heat diffuser at the distal end of the article. The article may include an aerosol-forming substrate between the heat diffuser and the outlet end. The heat diffuser may include a non-combustible porous body configured to absorb heat from an electric heating element such that the heat diffuser is configured to heat air drawn through the aerosol-generating article from the distal end to the outlet end based on the heat absorbed in the porous body. The heated aerosol-generating article may be included in a heated aerosol-generating system that includes an electric heating element configured to generate heat. The heat diffuser may heat air drawn through the aerosol-generating system, based on absorbing heat generated by the electric heating element.
