INFRARED HEATING FILM FOR SUPPLY VOLTAGE 12 Volt.

12 Volt thermal film can be used for more than just heating car seats or warming up the fuel tank on a diesel engine car. Such a heating film can also be used for safe local heating where 220 volt thermal film is not recommended. For example, with the help of such a heating film, it is very easy to organize floor heating in the bathroom without fear of getting an electric shock in case of damage to the supply cable or the heating film itself. Of course, you will feel much calmer if your four-legged pet's mat is heated with safe voltage.

It is possible to cut the module along the length, but it is necessary to isolate the cutting line, the module cannot be cut along the width.

We offer two types of 12V heating film:

Heating film Hot-Film (South Korea)

Module size 30 x 50 cmdesigned for a supply voltage of 12 Volts (thermofilm for a voltage of 24 V can be supplied on an additional order). Heating temperature 50 about S.

The heating film is supplied in rolls of 100 linear meters. m

Where and how can a heating film for a voltage of 12 volts be used?

1. Heated car seats.

Depending on the size of the car seat, you can use a heating film with the appropriate module size: 17 x 12 cm or 30 x 50 cm. In addition, the module itself can be cut to length to obtain required size. In this case, it is additionally necessary to completely insulate the entire side of the heating film along which the module was cut. If entire modules are used, then it is necessary to insulate only the exit point of the copper strip on the cut line (4 such areas for insulation).

For example, a film with a module size of 30 x 50 cm can be cut into two parts (the length of each segment of the module can be selected for a specific chair), two pieces of film will be obtained - for heating the seat and back of the chair. It is necessary to connect the film segments to the on-board network in parallel.

The power consumption of one module (30 x 50 cm) of the heating film is 30 watts, which is much less than that of other analogues.

2. Heating of the fuel tank and fuel filter of a car with a diesel engine.

Anyone who is involved with the operation of diesel vehicles knows what problems one has to face in winter time, and in the transition period (autumn / winter) there are quite a few problems, because usually at our gas stations they sell winter diesel fuel only with the onset of frost. But what if, with the onset of frost, summer diesel fuel remains in the tank?
There is a solution - with the help of a heating film, you can organize the heating of the fuel tank and fuel filter.

3. A 12V heating film can also be used for space heating where 220V is not recommended or appropriate.

For example, there is a desire to make a warm floor in the bathroom, but there is no desire to make repairs. In this case, you can use a heating film with a 30 x 50 cm module by simply placing it under the mat. The voltage of 12 volts is safe.

In addition, we already have orders for space heating. It turns out that there are craftsmen who, having installed solar panels and a wind generator want to be able to heat the premises from a voltage of 12 volts.

Dear Clients!

We kindly ask you not to come to our office without agreeing a meeting time - there may not be anyone in the office. You have to work on objects.

Not only can 12 volt heating film be used for heating car seats or fuel filter and diesel engine tank heating, it also finds use for safe heating in places where 220 volt heating film is not recommended. For example, with the help of such a heating film, you can quite simply create heating in the bathroom, and at the same time you can not be afraid of an electric shock in case of cable damage, or excessive heating of the surface. Accordingly, you will be calm if your pet's mat is heated with a safe voltage.

The module can be cut in length, but the cutting line must be insulated, the module cannot be cut in width.

We provide you with two options for a heating film for 12 volts:

Heating film Hot-Film from South Korea

The module has a size of 30 x 50 cm. Heating film is supplied in rolls of 100 m/pg.

Specifications:

Operation KH 203 12V (KOREA HEATING)

1) Heated car seats. You can use a heating film depending on the size of the car seat - you can choose the right size according to the dimensions of the module: 30 by 50 cm or 17 by 12 cm. In addition, the module itself can be cut to length to adjust the size. In this case, on the side where the module was cut, it will be necessary to completely insulate the film. And if the module is to be used as a whole, then insulation is also required on the cut line at the exit of the copper strip - there are only four such areas. For example, you can cut a module film into two parts with dimensions of 30 by 50 cm, and the length of each segment of the module will be selected for the seat of a particular chair. IN this case you get two pieces of film, namely for the back of the chair and for heating the seat. It is necessary to connect pieces of film in parallel to the on-board network. One section of the module measuring 30 by 50 cm consumes 30 watts of power, and this will be much less in comparison with analogues.

2) Heating in a car with a diesel engine fuel tank and filter. Everyone who is connected with the operation of a diesel car in any case knows what problems can be encountered in the winter, and there are also many problems during the transition period, because in modern gas stations the sale of winter diesel fuel begins only with the onset of severe frosts. And what to do if, with the onset of frost, summer diesel fuel remains in the car tank. In this case, there is a solution, it is enough to organize heating of the fuel filter and fuel tank with the help of thermal film.

3) You can use a heating film with a voltage of 12 volts also to heat rooms in which it is not recommended to use a voltage of 220 volts, which is inappropriate. For example, it is possible to make a warm floor in the bathroom and there is no need to make repairs. You can safely use a heating film that has a module of 30 by 50 cm, just put the product under the rug. This voltage of 12 volts is also safe.

Heating fuel system in diesel engine

Everyone who operates diesel engines may encounter problems, as it may be difficult to start the engine in cold weather. At negative temperature paraffin crystals will form in the diesel fuel, thus, the fuel becomes jelly-like. As a result of this, the fuel filter will be clogged, and its throughput will also decrease, and fuel will flow to the engine in a smaller amount. Thus, the engine may stall and its power will decrease.

This is what the fuel filter will look like if it worked for several hours in the cold

When heating is carried out in the diesel engine fuel filter

Here you can find out:

What kind of heaters we offer with a voltage of 12 and 24 Volts;
Several standard heater options;

On the use of heaters.

We offer you the most efficient and easy heating in operation of the fuel filter in a diesel engine.

If you take advantage of our suggestions, you can forget about the problems that arise when starting the engine in cold weather. Therefore, your car will start without problems at any time of the year. You can forget about buying anti-gel additives. Since you can get a reliable and simple version of the fuel filter heater.

Fuel filter heater with voltage such as 24V.

Fuel filter heaters are completely fireproof, which is why their operation can be carried out without supervision. That is why you can leave the heaters turned on at night without supervision and you don’t have to worry about it draining the battery.

In this case, no maintenance is required either.

We offer exactly such devices for thermal film fuel filters, which have 12 volt voltage, manufactured in South Korea. Two heaters are required in series for the 24 V on-board network.

It will not be difficult to install such a heater on a car, since it will not require additional maintenance, but at a cost they are much lower than similar devices. It will also not be difficult to remove the heating in order to replace the filter for the summer. It does not matter either the popularity of connecting the device, since it will be able to constantly work both from alternating current, and from the network.

Fuel Filter Heater Installation

Used to create a heater two types of heating film with a voltage of 12 volts:

Module size: length 50 cm, width 30 cm, one module consumes 30 watts of power and the maximum heating temperature of the device is 50 degrees Celsius.

The heating film is not cut in width, only in length it can be cut.

Installation with heating foil eyelets

Independent choice of heater for the fuel filter.

Initially, you need to measure the diameter (the diameter of the heater wrap) and the height of the filter, where the heating will be located. No other measurements are required.

The heating film is not cut in width (the film is available in two versions 17 cm and 30 cm in width), and therefore such dimensions cannot be changed. A film with a width of 17 cm will have one module of 12 cm in length, and a film with a width of 30 cm will have one module of 50 cm in length. suitable option sizes to create a heater. Since, knowing the height and diameter of the filter, it is possible to calculate the dimensions to create a good heater blank.

For example, if the height of the filter is 158 mm and its diameter is 81 mm, then the most perfect size to create a heater will be: the circumference is approximately 81 x 3.14 = 255 mm.

In this case, the heater will be able to:

the heater can be fully wrapped in size;
the filter can be partially covered, since the heater will be quite enough, although it is less effective;
the filter can be overlapped. Just in this case, there will be a heating film in 2 layers, and the heating temperature in this case will be higher than 10-120 degrees, which is not terrible for heating, and the heating efficiency will be much higher.

As an additional insulation, the heater from the filters will be insulated in order to minimize heat loss. The efficiency of the heater is greatly improved additional insulation fuel filter top and bottom.

If you have any difficulties regarding the selection of the size of the heater:

In this case, only around the correct cylinder can the film be wrapped, namely around the largest diameter. The diameter is usually smaller at the bottom of the fuel filters, which will be closer to the drain plug (there may be several such diameter reductions). And therefore, it is not scary if the step is small. Heating will not be carried out if the step is large.

It is also not difficult to install heating, which is a heating element and needs to be wrapped around the filter. The polarity of the connection also does not matter, since the thermal film can work from direct or alternating current. Problems may arise only during the installation process, when it is difficult enough to get to the filter, but such an element is often replaced, and therefore access to it should be normal.

Experiments were carried out on the operation of heaters.

1. A car Nissan Patrol with a 3 liter turbodiesel and at a temperature of 15 degrees it was not possible to start the engine in the usual way. And after only the heating of the fuel filter was installed, namely the heating film module 17 by 12 cm, then in this case the engine started normally and even at such a temperature as minus 33 degrees.

It is also worth noting that no other actions were taken with the car, but the car was refueled already on the 3rd day of testing.

And for the entire observation period (8 days) there were no problems with engine starts. Throughout this experiment, the heating of the fuel filter was also not turned off, since it worked even at night and during a stop. I didn’t even have to worry about the battery, because only 2.2 W was the power consumption of such a heater.

2. On the Nissan Terrano2 car (2.7 liter turbodiesel), such heating was installed, which had dimensions of 30 by 9 cm. The temperature sensor was installed between the fuel filter housing and the heating film. With the help of such a device, it was possible to monitor the temperature on the surface of the fuel filter.

When the air temperature in the parking lot reached minus 22 with the engine off, the temperature rose to +18 in 2 hours. If the movement was carried out at 60-80 km / h, then the temperature dropped to minus 6 degrees. The temperature rose by 1 degree idling for 1 - 2 minutes, but was not higher than 12 degrees. If the air temperature was minus 8 degrees, then it did not fall below +12 when moving. Also, the temperature at idle did not drop below +20 degrees.

Both in one and in the other case, it was noted that the engine began to work much softer, and the metallic sound that could occur when the engine was running in cold weather practically disappeared.

With the help of such a heating film, it is possible to heat the fuel tank.

But the very first and necessary action is the heating of the fuel filter, since it is on this that the engine start depends. When the engine warms up in operating mode, the diesel fuel in the fuel tank is heated by processing.

In addition, the owners of many trucks noted that the fuel in the filter froze while driving, as it was located outside the engine compartment. Just with a fuel filter heater, it is possible to easily eliminate such a problem.

INFRARED HEATING FILM FOR SUPPLY VOLTAGE 12 Volt.

It is possible to cut the module along the length, but it is necessary to isolate the cutting line, the module cannot be cut along the width.

We offer two types of 12V heating film:

Heating film Hot-Film (South Korea)

Module size 30 x 50 cm designed for a supply voltage of 12 Volts (thermofilm for a voltage of 24 V can be supplied on an additional order). Heating temperature 50 o C.

The heating film is supplied in rolls of 100 linear meters. m

Where and how can a heating film for a voltage of 12 volts be used?

1. Heated car seats.

Depending on the size of the car seat, you can use a heating film with the appropriate module size: 17 x 12 cm or 30 x 50 cm. In addition, the module itself can be cut to length to obtain the required size. In this case, it is additionally necessary to completely insulate the entire side of the heating film along which the module was cut. If entire modules are used, then it is necessary to insulate only the exit point of the copper strip on the cut line (4 such areas for insulation).

For example, a film with a module size of 30 x 50 cm can be cut into two parts (the length of each segment of the module can be selected for a specific chair), you will get two pieces of film - for heating the seat and back of the chair. It is necessary to connect the film segments to the on-board network in parallel.

The power consumption of one module (30 x 50 cm) of the heating film is 30 watts, which is much less than that of other analogues.

Every day there are more and more various systems for ensuring comfort in the house.

One of these systems, "warm floor", is gaining popularity due to the variety of models and installation options.

The design consists of two parallel cables, between which carbon rods are fixed.

When heated, the rods become a source of infrared radiation, the waves of which heat objects in the room, and those, in turn, give off heat to the air. The power of rod systems is 130-160 watts.

During installation, the core mat is fixed with a thin layer of special adhesive solution, so the thickness of the finished floor increases by only 3–5 cm.

The advantages of the rod IR mat are:

absence of electromagnetic radiation;
safety of operation even in children's rooms;
the possibility of laying even under furniture;
continuation of work even if several rods fail.

The disadvantages of core mats are:

high cost of the device;
unreliability of the system, since the rods at the attachment points with the cable often burn out.

Film

is the most versatile of all electrical designs.

Heating is produced by infrared radiation produced by carbon paths when current passes through them.

These tracks are securely soldered between two layers. plastic film which eliminates the risk of damage and short circuits.

The power of such a system depends on the thickness and width of the carbon conductors and can be 150 watts, 220 watts, 400 watts. IR films of the first type heat the surface above them up to 45 degrees and can be used under thin laminate, linoleum or carpet.

Heaters of the second type are suitable for laying under wood flooring or thin tiles, as they heat the surface up to 60 degrees. The most powerful film mats heat the surface up to 80 degrees and are used in unheated rooms, under a resistant top coat.

The thickness of the electric underfloor heating with a film heater is insignificant, since a screed is not needed for its installation. Installation is carried out directly on a smoothly leveled subfloor, and it is enough to lay sheets of plywood on top of the film.

The advantages of such a system:

the easiest installation of all types of underfloor heating;
heating occurs evenly, due to the dense placement of carbon tracks;
absolute safety for a person;
cost-effectiveness compared to other types of electric floors;
ease of installation.

There are no downsides to this type of floor heating. except for the rather high cost. However, in the process of operation, it fully pays off.

Finishes

When deciding to install an electric underfloor heating indoors, you should consider some points:

what role will the warm floor play (main heating or additional);
what top coat will be used;
what is the allowable floor height.

At the same time, it is the finish coating that plays a key role in the selection, since not all types of coatings and heating systems are combined with each other.

Tile

Porcelain and ceramic tile the most durable and resistant to external influences material. Best :

self-regulating and resistive cables;
core mats;
cable mats.

However, tiles do not work well with IR films, as the material of the film reacts with the tile adhesive.

Laminate

Laminate and parquet conduct heat quite well, due to the high content of wood.

The advantages of parquet and laminate are their reliability, wear resistance.

The disadvantages when used as a topcoat over an electric underfloor heating is the danger of overheating of individual sections, which leads to a change appearance and coating characteristics.

They are combined with almost all types of electric floors. Although the most preferred is the film system, since its installation is easy and fast, and the heating is as uniform as possible. Of the cable systems, self-regulating cable is optimal.

Linoleum

Linoleum is a kind of coating. It is resistant to wear, however, when installing over a warm floor, it is necessary to monitor the temperature regime.

The advantages of linoleum are:

low cost;
ease of installation;
variety of colors and characteristics;
wear resistance.

The disadvantages include:

low resistance to mechanical damage;
danger of overheating from heating systems, which leads to deformation and change in characteristics.

Self-regulating cables and core mats are best combined with linoleum. They do not overheat and provide optimal temperature regime coatings. And also great for laying a film infrared floor under linoleum.

Parameters

The main parameters that should be considered when choosing the type of electric underfloor heating are:

Floor device. It is necessary to take into account the possibility of increasing the height of the floor by pouring the screed when laying cable systems.
Product cost.
Electricity consumption. How much warm floors consume per month has great importance when choosing a system.
Owner reviews.
Underfloor heating resistance.
Mounting. Is it possible to carry out the installation on our own or will it be necessary to invite specialists.
Type of finish. As already mentioned, not all heating systems And finish coats are combined with each other.
Includes thermostat and temperature sensor.
The type of room in which the underfloor heating will be installed. It is necessary to take into account the presence of the main source of heat, humidity.
Required power.
Control type.

How to choose?

System type

In order to answer the question of how to choose electric underfloor heating, you first need to decide on the required technical specifications electrical system.

Initially, it is calculated what power of the warm floor is needed for specific premises. For example, for a heating cable in a residential area, 100–120 W/m² is sufficient, but for a cable mat under the same conditions, the power should be higher than 160–180 W/m².

Systems that are mounted in a screed accumulate heat well and give it away for a long time. Therefore, they are more economical than other systems and can be used as the main heating.

Important! If the electric floor heating is calculated as the main heating element, then the laying area must be at least 80% of the entire room.

infrared films most modern type electric underfloor heating. They have a high heat dissipation and at the same time are quite economical. Besides, film system can be laid on any base, the main thing is that it be perfectly even. The films themselves are very thin, so the height of the floor will hardly change.

Top layer material

For each topcoat there is an optimal type of heating electrical systems:

cable system is suitable for tiles;
for linoleum, IR films are best;
suitable for parquet and laminate electrical systems.

Characteristics

Electricity consumption

Electricity consumption of underfloor heating is affected by:

thermal insulation of the room;
type of finish coating (how well the coating conducts heat into the room);
the presence of a high-quality thermostat and temperature sensor.

You can calculate how much electricity a warm floor consumes per month depending on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, the power of the heater, and the operating time per day.
The most economical in this regard are rod systems. Electricity consumption for infrared floor heating is in second place. Cable systems are considered the most expensive.

Power

The power consumption of a warm floor is one of key features warm floor. It depends on the level of heating, as well as energy consumption. You can choose the right power for an electric underfloor heating, taking into account the following indicators:

type of premises: residential or non-residential, insulation level, presence of humidity;
free area of the premises;
the presence of the main source of heating;
the amount of furniture in the room (if there is a lot of furniture, then the heating area and power can be reduced).

Most wide range capacities of cable systems and they provide high-quality heating even at low power rates. Other heating devices for the same degree of heating require more power.

Important! Systems over high power more costly.

Thickness

The thickness of the warm floor directly depends on the type of electrical system.
So, for laying the cable it is required concrete screed 3 cm thick. The whole system together with thermal insulation, heating layer and finishing material is 8 to 10 cm.

In the case of using thermomats, the presence of a screed as a base layer is optional, therefore overall thickness the finished floor is approximately 5 cm.

Installation of a film underfloor heating will change the thickness of the floor by only 2 cm, because it can even be laid on the old floor, as long as it is perfectly even. And on top of the film it is enough to lay sheets of plywood.

Therefore, if changing the thickness of the floor is unacceptable, infrared IR films are the best electric floor heating.

Supply voltage

Warm electrical systems are available with a voltage of 220 or 12 volts. The first option is for large rooms where high heating power is required.

Low voltage heating elements suitable for local heating small areas, for example, in the bathroom, kitchen or loggia. It is economically more profitable to install 12-volt underfloor heating systems in these rooms, because turning on the heating is necessary only when you are there.

Another advantage of low-voltage heaters is their electrical safety when used in wet areas. By using a step-down transformer, the safety class is increased.

Which is better?

This is only part of the huge number of reviews about electric warm floors. Most of them are positive.

However, there are some complaints about the long warming up of the surface. This is due to the thickness of the top screed and the finish.

Some reviews talk about the fear of increasing electricity costs. These fears are debunked by those who have already installed underfloor heating. Costs increase significantly only when using electric floors as the main source of heating.

IR films are sometimes mistrustful, which is why users prefer cable systems.

Therefore, it is impossible to give a definite answer to the question of which electric underfloor heating is better. A suitable system should be selected individually in each case.

After the choice is made, you can follow the instructions.
