How to Choosing a correct APTC Heater ? And why choosing a APTC Heater ?
Introduction of PTC heater principle
PTC heater is a device that uses the semiconductor heating principle of PTC ceramic material to achieve heating. PTC ceramic materials have low resistance at low temperatures. When the current through the heater is too large, the temperature will rise, the material will undergo phase change, and the resistance will increase sharply, thereby effectively controlling the heating temperature and achieving the heating effect.
Advantages of PTC heaters:
Rapid heating
Temperature stable
Efficient use of energy
Technical advantages
PTC chip is the core component of PTC heater. We jointly develop with first-line chip manufacturers: Ceramics are dense, with fine grains and uniform structure, and have higher mechanical properties and voltage resistance; Special surface processing ensures good contact and heat transfer with the heat dissipation metal; The optimized R-T curve makes a single chip more powerful; The current impact stability ratio is small, which can reduce the fluctuation of the power grid and reduce the configuration of the vehicle circuit; It can be applied to vehicles with different voltage platforms, and the highest voltage can meet the design requirements of 1500VDC; Long-term aging power attenuation is less than 5%
Our Technology research and development
In the early stages of product design, CAE simulation analysis is performed on the structural parts to improve the reliability of forward development.
We did Flow resistance analysis Thermal analysis Force analysis as below
Adjust the core heating layout to ensure uniformity of air outlet temperature
For Air PTC Heater we called APTC Heater
