SHEET-LIKE, ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE HEATING NETWORK

摘要

The object of the invention is to provide a sheet-like, electrical resistance heating network which, for example in the building sector, is integrated as a floor and wall panel heating element directly on the surface of the plastered structure, and consequently can be used as an infrared heater. The sheet-like, electrical resistance heating network (1) consists of individual heating filaments (2), for example polymer-carbon filaments, polymer-silver filaments or carbon filaments, which are laid in parallel at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction, and insulating filaments (3), for example glass filaments or polymer filaments, that are laid at right angles thereto likewise in parallel at a distance from one another in the transverse direction. The heating filaments (2) and the insulating filaments (3) thereby form a network with preferably square openings. At the beginning and the end of the resistance heating network (1) there is an electrode (4), consisting of a metal wire or metal strip of a low resistance, respectively arranged in the transverse direction over the entire width of the network, and the two electrodes (4) lie parallel to one another and are electrically connected to the underlying heating filaments (2). The processed heating filaments (2) may have different resistance values. This dictates the heat that is generated by the resistance heating network (1) or individual portions of the heating panel. In a variant, the transversely lying insulating filaments (3) are at least partially replaced by heating filaments (2).
