Avionics, aerospace, military etched foil heaters
Molded etched foil element heaters
Thermal Circuits manufactures anti-icing, etched foil element heaters that are molded from Thermal Circuits produced rubber elastomers.
Battery heaters
In military applications, these heater circuits are etched foil elements laminated in caustic resistant films, such as Teflon®, Kapton®, silicone rubber, EPDM rubber, or nylon electrical insulations; or encapsulated in inorganic mica sheet dielectrics. ThinFilm Thermal Circuits heaters weave between rows of battery cells. Rubber heaters line inside walls and floors of battery boxes. Rigid sheet heaters fit vertically between rows of cells. A Teflon® insulated etched foil heated cell stack is shown. Heavy duty constructions withstand high impact and heavy weight. Our battery heaters fulfill a wide range of requirements including MIL specs, vibration, chafing, chemicals, heat and cold.
Ultraviolet (UV) Resistent Vinyl Dielectric Insulation Encapsulates Heaters Used with Satellite & Broadband Antenna Dish/Reflectors
The pictured heater is thermostatically controlled and designed with safe low-voltage requirements to enable user application.
Seperately, Thermal Circuits has successfully integrated flexible heaters within the dish reflectors' composite material.
Feedhorn Heater Assembly for Extreme Conditions
Salt, Fog, and Sulfur Dioxide Resistant
The thermostat controlled etched foil heated Feed Horn Assembly is a result of Thermal Curcuits technologies in silicone rubber compounding and heater molding. A part of anti-icing systems for communications antennae on Naval vessels, the heated Feed Horn Assembly prevents accumulation of snow and ice that could distort or block communications signals in bad weather. The custom assembly prevents corrosion associated with extreme environmental conditions.
200ºC Anti-Ice/De-Ice heater used within an Aircraft Angle of Attack Indicator
The etched foil element is laminated between composite dielectric insulation comprised of Kapton® Polyimide and Teflon®/ fiberglass cloth which has been bonded by Thermal Circuits to metalwork designed with compound curvature.
Engineered Products
Flexible Heaters from Thermal Circuits are light, bendable and can conform to irregular shapes, contours and 3-dimensional patterns. They are simple to apply, yet are capable of higher output than traditional metal-clad heaters. Thermal Circuits designs materials that are compatible with integration and challenging environments
