 PTC TECHNOLOGY

Honeycomb series PTC ceramic heaters use the patented Honeycomb PTC elements which are made of an electrically conductive ceramic that has a Positive Temperature Coefficient of electrical resistance. As the temperature of the ceramic increases, the PTC element's resistance increases rapidly, thus reducing the current flow through it. The temperature of the PTC heater is therefore self regulating and does not exceed a temperature of approximately 380 degrees F.

The honeycomb structure offers the best ratio of heated surface area to the volume of the heating material in order to achieve outstanding results in air heating. Heat is obtained by forcing air through 1500 holes in each PTC element. The heat output of the PTC heater is roughly proportional to the rate of airflow through it.

Selected Honeycomb PTC ceramic heaters are UL recognized and tested for 100,000 on/off cycles. They have been proven in the field in the portable heater market with exceptional results.
  CONFIGURATIONS

Honeycomb series PTC ceramic heaters are small, compact, lightweight and capable of delivering up to 1500W of heat. They use the Honeycomb PTC elements for maximum heat transfer efficiency and hence their operating temperature is lower for longer life. The PTC elements are mounted on a thermoplastic base which is light, insulating and facilitates installation. Electrical contact to the PTC is by stainless steel contact plates for long life, reliability and protection against corrosion. The surface contact of the PTC is sealed by a high temperature electrical sealant for added reliability. Other shapes and combinations to those shown are available in OEM quantities.
