PTC-Heating Technology

PTC heating elements can be advantageously used for many types of heating due to their special resistance temperature characteristics. The equipment which is normally necessary for the regulation of temperature and the securing from overheating can be done without.

The used capacity PTC have an extremely positive run of the electrical resistance depending on the temperature. Therefore also the name PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient).

Through its self-regulating characteristics, the PTC heating elements corresponding with the selected reference temperature regulate the conveyed heat and thus the temperature of the medium to be heated very sensitively.

There are PTC elements in diverse forms and sizes and they are used everywhere where in a small area heating, securing from overheating as well as regulation and control systems must be located. In addition they offer the great advantage of in most cases being an inexpensive alternative to heating components.
