Latest Patents
David Adank holds a patent for a Flexible Spirally Shaped Heating Element. This invention provides heating elements and methods for their fabrication and use. The heating elements feature a spirally shaped structure with multiple spiral forms. They may also include a thermally conductive, electrically insulated polymeric coating, such as a fluorocarbon resinous coating with a thickness of about 0.001-0.020 inches. The preferred spirally shaped heating elements offer a lower flux or watt density compared to a Tubular Heating Element of similar Active Element Volume. Notably, these spirally shaped heating elements maintain the same or greater overall wattage rating than their tubular counterparts. The effective relative heated surface area of these elements ranges from about 5-60 inches per inch, with a target range of about 20-30 inches per inch, while generating a heat flux of approximately 10-50 watts per inch.
