IMPROVED IMMERSION HEATER WITH A POLYMER COATING OF HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY |
摘要 |
Electrical resistance heating elements are provided which are useful in heating fluid mediums, such as air and water. The heating elements include an element body having a supporting surface and a resistance wire wound onto the supporting surface which is connected to a pair of terminal end portions. Disposed over the resistance wire, and over most of the supporting surface, is a thermally-conductive polymeric coating which hermetically encapsulates and electrically insulates the resistance wire from the fluids to be heated. This thermally-conductive polymer coating has a thermal conductivity value of at least about 0.5 W/m DEG K. Improved properties are preferably provided by ceramic powder, such as Al2O3 and MgO, and glass fiber additives. |
