Abstract
A heat-equalizing device is provided suitable to transfer heat from hooter areas to colder areas, and is particularly suitable for equalizing surface temperatures along a heated structure. The heat-equalizing device includes graphite fibers embedded in insulating material. The graphite fibers form a contact surface extending over and against the heated surface. The contact surface can be flat or curved as necessary for proper operation on the heated surface.
