Hi-Temp TF Product
Hi- Temp TF Stainless Steel-Based Heater
Datec designs and manufactures stainless steel thick film heaters (Hi-Temp TF) by printing heating elements directly onto a stainless steel substrate. Stainless Steel thick film heaters are compact, lightweight and generate heat quickly and efficiently.
These thick film heaters are suitable for a variety of applications such as steam generation, grills & griddles, packaging lines, 3D printing and many others.
Datec’s Hi-Temp TF technology is comprised of a dielectric, resistor, conductor and a finish coat layer printed on a stainless steel substrate using screen-printing technology and cured at high temperatures. The resulting heater is a fast, reliable, and high-performing solution. Hi-Temp TF heater is ideal for applications that need high performance, reliability and energy efficiency.
These heaters are capable for applications that need high temperatures of up to 840 °F (450 °C). They can be applied to complex shapes to generate targeted heat. The heat flux (watt density) can be as high as 200 W/in² (31 W/cm²). Datec’s engineers develop custom heater designs to meet the customer requirements. Contact Us to learn more
With Datec’s heating elements printed directly onto stainless steel, the robust and low-profile Hi-Temp TF provides:
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Proven reliability with a long life
RAPID THERMAL CYCLING
Low thermal mass and high power density result in fast temperature ramp up and cool down
TARGETED HEAT GENERATION
With unique custom designs, the temperature can be generated in targeted zones
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Precise temperature control is possible using integrated sensors
The exploded view below shows several different layers of a stainless steel thick film heater
- Stainless Steel Substrate – The stainless steel plate can be as thin as 4 thou (0.1 mm) to as thick as 400 thou ( 10 mm)
- Dielectric Base Layer – Isolates the electrically active heating circuit from the stainless steel plate and prevents electric short circuit.
- Conductor Layer – Carries current through the circuit and interconnects resistors
- Resistor Layer – Generates heat as a result of electric resistance. The resistor layer can be customized to change power and heat dissipation to meet application requirements
- Dielectric Overglaze ( Finish Coat) – Protects the electrical circuit and provides electrical isolation
