Abstract: The present invention relates to a wet planar heating element and a method manufacturing the same. The element including: a planar heating unit including an upper waterproof film layer, a lower waterproof film layer, a planar heating layer, and an electrode layer; an external waterproof film layer; and a non-woven fabric layer. According to the present invention, it is possible to minimize leakage current due to pores of a non-woven fabric substrate and a low dielectric constant of air in air pockets, thereby solving problems that an earth leakage circuit breaker operates. Accordingly, wet construction can be performed, power consumption can be reduced, and an electrical fire risk can be remarkably lowered. In addition, it is possible to improve flexibility of the planar heating element, whereby the use of the planar heating element can be expanded and the efficiency of the construction work can be increased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved food waste dryer utilizing waste heat, which includes a main frame, a dryer drum with an access door, to be positioned in the main frame, and an agitator positioned in the dryer drum. The improved food waste dryer comprises: a waste heat supply unit, a heating jacket positioned on the outer surface of the dryer drum, with a hot-air inlet to receive the waste heat from the waste heat supply unit and a hot-air outlet to discharge the waste heat inside the dryer drum, and a condensation system positioned in the main frame, to remove moisture included in the interior air of the dryer drum to increase the drying efficiency of the food waste dryer utilizing waste heat.

Abstract: Provided is a wet-use plane heater using a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) constant heater-ink polymer, wherein the wet-use plane heater has unique characteristics in that it may not only be safe from the damage to the heater and the risk of fire due to self-temperature control characteristics, but a plane heater, which has been mainly installed in dry-use applications due to limitations of leakage current and induced current caused by an increase in contact area with an installation floor, may also be used for wet installation which uses a mortar.
