Low-Cost Deicing Heater with Low-Temp PTC Thick Film

From Davidon Industries, Inc.
 

 

RICA flexible heaters of Zoppas Industries, produces its first order of heaters with thick film technology. In many applications that require anti-icing capabilities, a low cost option is required. Providing a flexible heater with a thermal control can provide an anti-icing heater with a control, but oftentimes, costing too much.

The customer, HERMANN, is an important European manufacturer of domestic boilers heated with gas burners (for home heating system); when these boilers are put outside they need an anti ice heater in the siphon of discharge of the condensate. RICA providing a low cost solution using a low temperature thick film heater with self limited overheat control built in, eliminating the need for a thermostat.
