Improvement of the thermal characteristics of the electric heater in the architecture with aluminum, nanoporous alumina and resistive component of carbon fiber

Abstract

The study presents the results from the investigations on electric characteristics and thermal field on the surface of the heater, based on anodic alumina with carbon fiber resistive element. It is shown that the application of heater made of aluminum, nanoporous alumina and carbon fiber allows decreasing the power consumption, providing the heating uniformity and, therefore, increasing their operating efficiency.
