Heat produced by thin film resistive heater.

In summary, a thin film resistive heater is a type of heating element that utilizes a thin layer of resistive material on a substrate. It produces heat through resistive heating and offers advantages such as compact size, high efficiency, and fast response time. Commonly used materials include nickel, chromium, and copper, and the applications of thin film resistive heaters range from microelectronics to consumer products.

Hi guys. I am new to this forum and need some help in solving some problems.
My company produce thin film heater( doped tin oxide deposited on a substrate such as glass ceramic, beryllium oxide, aluminium nitride or alumina and some others). I need a formula for calculating within a few degrees the maximum temperature produced from any design given the power, voltage and size of the resistor.

Thanks

You should get the book Cooling of Electronic Equipment by Allan W. Scott.
There is no simple formula to calculate temperature rise.
 

1. What is a thin film resistive heater?

A thin film resistive heater is a type of heating element that consists of a thin layer of resistive material deposited onto a substrate. This allows for efficient and precise heating due to the high surface area to volume ratio of the thin film.

2. How is heat produced by a thin film resistive heater?

Heat is produced by a thin film resistive heater through the process of resistive heating. When an electric current is passed through the resistive material, the resistance causes the electrons to collide and transfer their energy in the form of heat to the surrounding environment.

3. What are the advantages of using a thin film resistive heater?

There are several advantages of using a thin film resistive heater, including its compact size, high energy efficiency, and fast response time. It is also able to provide uniform heating over a large surface area and can be easily integrated into various devices and systems.

4. What materials are commonly used in thin film resistive heaters?

The most commonly used materials in thin film resistive heaters are metals such as nickel, chromium, and copper. These materials have high resistivity and can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for heating applications.

5. What are the applications of thin film resistive heaters?

Thin film resistive heaters have a wide range of applications, including in microelectronics, medical devices, aerospace technology, and consumer products. They can be used for heating, drying, curing, and temperature control in various industries and environments.
