  • LAYERED HEATER SYSTEM WITH HONEYCOMB CORE STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20190069350
    Abstract: A layered heater system is provided, which includes an engineered substrate, a heater substrate disposed on the engineered substrate, a resistive element layer formed proximate the heater plate, and a protective layer formed on the resistive element layer. Terminal pads are formed over at least a portion of the resistive element layer and are exposed through the protective layer. The engineered substrate includes a plurality of walls which extend in a thickness direction of the engineered substrate and which have a thickness engineered for specific heat transfer requirement.

  • Layered heater system with honeycomb core structure
    Patent number: 10159114
    Abstract: A layered heater system is provided that includes an engineered substrate having an upper face sheet, a lower face sheet, and a core disposed between the upper face sheet and the lower face sheet. A dielectric layer is formed on at least one of the upper face sheet and the lower face sheet, a resistive element layer is formed on the dielectric layer, a protective layer is formed on the resistive element layer, and terminal pads are formed over at least a portion of the resistive element layer, wherein the terminal pads are exposed through the protective layer. In one form, the core defines a honeycomb structure, and in another, the core defines a frame structure having a plurality of support ribs.
    Type: Grant
