PTC elements are used as heating sources in air heaters, drying units and compartment heaters for cars and trains. PTC elements consist of PTC thermistors and aluminum strips joined by brazing or gluing. The PTC element can be mounted in a frame of heat-resistant plastic or integrated a specific application. We have a standard range of PTC 12 mm as well as custom made products.
Quick heating with self regulating function – 12mm PTC Element
This element automatically adjusts its power consumption until it reaches a pre-set temperature (Curie temperature). Thanks to its self-regulating properties, the same element can be used both for air- and water heating without any risk of overheating.
Examples of applications
- Defrosting
- Towel dryers
- Radiators
- Evaporation of condensed water
