Carbo e-Therm is a high-efficiency, electrically heated coating developed for use in the non-hazardous low-voltage range. Its excellent applicability to very different geometries and surfaces plus high heating power open up a wide field of possible uses.
• for temperatures up to 600°C • heating of surface geometries of any shape • very easy to apply • extremely high electrical safety by working on non-hazardous low voltage, • direct use of low-voltage sources (e.g. 12/24V onboard, solar power), • very simple electrical connection, • easy supervision and control, • high heating power for low supply voltage, • perfectly even heating of large surface areas without hot spots, • very attractively priced compared to conventional heating systems.
