| Purpose of this design guide 1. Understand how flexible Thermofoil™ heaters can work in your application Carefully review the information in this design guide and other online resources at www.minco.com/heater/. Understanding the capabilities of the different types of flexible heaters will allow you to choose the best heater to fit your application. 2. Select a flexible heater for prototyping After learning about the available options of flexible heaters, choose a stock or standard heater, or heaters, which will allow you to begin proof-of-concept testing and prototyping in your application. For more information, download the white paper entitled "Prototyping Techniques for Etched-Foil Heaters" at the E2E - Engineer to Engineer - Online Community: www.minco.com/e2e. 3. Specify a long-term heating solution for your application When you have successfully prototyped with stock and standard flexible heaters, Minco's experienced design engineers can help you design an accurate and affordable heating solution to perfectly fit your application.
