CARBON FIBRE

MATERIAL FEATURES

•

the carbon fibre is commonly used in different types of applications. the extra-
ordinary mechanical features are common exploited. As far as the radiators are 
concerned the carbon fibre is used for its electrical properties.

MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY

•

the carbon fibre heating element structure is composed by a basketwork of fila-
ments having a carbon core and a surface nickel coating increasing the chemical 
agent resistance capacity. 

•

According to the thickness of carbon covering the thermal inertia, the electrical 
resistance, the weight and the mechanical properties change.

•

the carbon fibre heating elements have these two main advantages if compared to 
the traditional resistive elements or tungsten filament: 
- 98% of the absorbed energy is emitted as infrared radiation (very high efficiency); 
- the particularly low infrared frequencies have a double capacity to penetrate  
  deeper into the human body (up to 4-5 cm) and to stimulate profitable the  
  metabolism.

•

Another very important feature (even essential in the aerospace field) is that a local 
breaking does not cause malfunction of the appliance or the bust of the heating 
element (as it happens with the tungsten filament). 

•

Last two advantages: lightness and very low thermal inertia.
