The demand for smart and simple solutions creates new applications and we offer solutions with integrated thermal controllers and sensors. Etched foil heating elements are used with thermostats, resistance-controlled, PTC, PT100/PT1000, thermocouple and overheat protection.
Temperature management and energy balance.
Etched foil heaters provide excellent thermal transfer where you need it most. Flexible heaters are used in thermal control design to protect components under cold-case environmental conditions or to make up for heat that is not dissipated. It is usually necessary to arrange some form of control to ensure that the desired temperature is maintained; accurate temperature control is therefore needed.
This can be achieved with bimetallic electromechanical thermostats when temperatures and surface ratings are low, while electronic thermostats are preferred when temperatures and surface loads are high.
We can fit thermostats, temperature fuses and sensors of thermo-element type, thermistors and resistance sensors directly to elements in accordance with customer specifications. This helps to ensure reliable control.
Design guidelines
Calculation of power
The following information will assist in the design of elements and rough calculation of data. Optimum power and temperature conditions for specific applications are usually determined experimentally. The following formula can be used to determine approximately the required rating P (power) to heat a given material.
