Model ET-1000 - Electric Radiant Heating System in Multi-Layer Textile
An innovative ELECTRICAL HEATING TEXTILE that combines a deep knowledge in textile materials with the employ of electricity. The Energy Textile (ET) sector produces and markets technologically innovative heating textiles which generate energy-efficient and cost-effective heat thanks to the combination of textile materials, constructions and finishing treatments using electricity. After a three-years-long research, Cofilea has launched ET-1000, an eco-sustainable multilayer technical fabric, which generates thermal energy, i.e. heat with electricity by means of the Joule effect.
ET-1000 is covered by the Italian national patent nr. 0001420490 released by the Italian patent office and it has gotten the publication of the PCT (international patent) from the WIPO, World Intellectual Property Organization, that has highly recognized the innovative character of the product.
Applications for an extension of the patent are in progress in many countries around the world. During its development, great attention was paid not only to the selection of the textile yarn, which allows the transformation of energy into heat, but also to the choice of the materials which form the layers of electrical insulation, heat transmittance and heat reflectance.
This electrical radiant heating system can standardize and direct heat through a nano-technological layer of heat-reflecting material.
Its main features:
- LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
- SMALL THICKNESS
- REDUCED WEIGHT
- FLEXIBILITY AND VERSATILITY
That, combined with minimal noise, reliability, safety and savings resulting from its use, make it a unique product of its kind.
ET-1000 can be used in many sectors; today its innovative qualities are better exploited in the branch of industry, of buildings and agriculture
- in the upper part there are layers with different functions of electrical isolation and horizontal thermal diffusion, in order to obtain homogeneous heat transmitted towards the outside;
- the inside contains the layer of heating fabric;
- in the lower part various layers have different functions of thermal and electrical isolation, besides that of heat refraction.
The fabric can be supplied both with alternating current and direct current and different tensions can be applied starting from 6 volts up to 230 volts.
The main characteristic of ET-1000 is its versatility, since the desired temperatures can be obtained by modifying various parameters: the applied tensions and currents, the fabric length, the length of the carbon coil, since ET-1000 is normally produced in 5 different versions of carbon coils.
Special versions of ET-1000 for particular applications can be produced on request, in accordance with the technical principles on which the product is based.
