Do You Know the Heater Production Process and Application?

As a novel electric heating element, the heater works on the principle of resistance heating. Use electrical energy to convert energy into thermal energy and increase the system temperature to meet the heating needs in industry, scientific research and other fields. So what do you know about heaters? Let’s take you to know about flexible heaters!

What is a heating element?

Heating elements are materials or devices that convert electrical energy directly into thermal energy through a principle called Joule heating. For conductive materials, less heat is generated because charge carriers flow easily through them, whereas for materials with high resistance, more heat is generated. The main function of the heating element in the application is to conduct heat and provide heat output to the product that needs to be heated, so that it can maintain stable application.

What are the raw materials of heaters?

The properties of the heater material narrow the choice to a few materials. The most common materials are white copper, brass and iron-chromium-aluminum alloys. These materials can work at high temperatures because they are resistant to high-temperature oxidation. There are three different raw materials on the outside: silicone rubber, PI and transparent material PET, each with different effects and functions.

What are the production processes of heaters?

In addition to raw materials, there are also differences in production processes, mainly winding and etching processes. The main difference between wirewrap and etched foil technology is that etched foil products do not use wire with a defined diameter to create the elements. Instead, etched foil heaters are made from thin foil of a specific metal alloy. Through a series of manufacturing processes, the foil is patterned and then etched to create conductive elements located across the entire surface area of the heater body. The etched foil pattern actually allows for tighter patterning of elements to meet the customer's wiring layout requirements on the heater.

What products is the heater suitable for?

PI flexible heaters are widely used in industry, scientific research, medical, aviation and other fields.

Industrial heating: PI flexible heaters can be used in applications such as metal parts drying, liquid drying, and injection molding.

Scientific research laboratory: suitable for constant temperature heating of liquid, gas and other samples, molecular evaporation, reaction laboratory and other fields.

Health care: PI flexible heaters can be used in health care equipment, massage heaters, and medical equipment.

Aviation field: Mainly used in battery energy that needs to be maintained at a constant temperature to avoid low ambient temperatures and keep components at a constant temperature through heating.

PI flexible heaters have various structures. After consultation with customers, engineers evaluate the data and put them into production, saving time and cost for customers and allowing them to receive the products as soon as possible.
