HOTmesh technology has resolved many of these design deficiencies by:
- Applying a uniformed strengthening supplement to the design. Due to this factor, the physical structure of the manufactured product has been strengthened (28,000 - 38,000 kg/cm2).
- Its flexibility has been drastically increased.
- Even heat distribution throughout the entire mesh.
- Cutting and shaping the mesh is simple and does not affect heat transfer efficiency.
From a technological viewpoint, HOTmesh greatly differs from the traditional heater designs currently
used in industrial and domestic products. As well as the traditional heating systems, hot mesh can
also be present in the following familiar applications:
When using the HOTmesh technology, the electrical energy and power consumption decrease as the temperature of the mesh increases. The opposite effect occurs when using a traditional heating system. Refer to the following illustration for further clarification.
As shown in the above illustration, the HOTmesh temperature increases by approximately 45°C during the first 20 minutes of operation. Meanwhile, the electrical current decreases from the initial 0.45A to approximately 0.33A (-27%). Due to this physical behavior, HOTmesh is considered a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) device. A traditional heater system, as described earlier, that does not experience a decrease in electrical current with an associated increase in temperature under similar conditions is considered a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) device.
Note: It is particularly important to consider PTC vs. NTC in regards to operational safety. PTC devices, which self-regulate their electrical current consumption, are intrinsically safer than NTC devices. This characteristic implies that HOTmesh be given preference over an equivalent NTC device when used in an application where safety is of a major concern.
