PTC Heaters for Radiators

Product catalog summary
Overview: Rotfil s.r.l., established in 1977, is a leading Italian manufacturer of electric heating elements for radiators and towel rails. The company offers a range of products including PTC self-limiting elements, constant power heating elements, heating cables, and flexible heating elements. Rotfil's quality system is ISO 9001 certified, and its products have various certifications such as VDE, UL, and CSA.
PTC Technology: PTC stands for Positive Temperature Coefficient, which describes the behavior of semiconductor heaters. These elements increase resistance with temperature, reducing power output and preventing overheating. Rotfil's PTC elements are versatile, offering power ranges from 30W to 1500W, and can be installed in both horizontal and vertical orientations.
Advantages of PTC Elements: Rotfil's PTC elements offer intrinsic safety, reduced size, no cold lengths, better circulation, faster heat-up times, and no noise. They are cost-effective and suitable for design radiators with narrow spaces.
Innovations: Rotfil has developed a patent-pending production process for PTC heaters that eliminates the use of magnesium oxide, enhancing reliability and longevity. The "quick fit" system allows easy cable interchangeability, simplifying product standardization and assembly.
Product Range: Rotfil offers a variety of PTC heating elements, including Class I and Class II elements with different cable and plug configurations. The company also provides flexible heating elements for various applications, including ambient heating and mist removal.
Technical Specifications: The document includes detailed technical data for various PTC heating elements, specifying power outputs, dimensions, and configurations. Flexible heating elements are adaptable to different surfaces and applications, with working temperatures ranging from -50°C to +100°C.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for Rotfil s.r.l. and its associated companies, Jeka GmbH and Elmat s.r.l.

 PTC Heaters for Radiators-3

What does PTC technology mean? PTC means "Positive Temperature Coefficient" and characterizes the electrical behaviour of the semiconductor heater segment that is the base component of the heating element. Each semiconductor element generates the heat output as the thin resistive wire in a constant power heater, but with a very significant difference: with increasing temperature the resistance of the PTC element rises instantaneously and reduces automatically the power output (P = V2/R) generating the so called "self-limiting" effect. Many segments are combined inside a PTC Rotfil heater generating...

 PTC Heaters for Radiators-4

Which are the advantages of Rotfil PTC elements for the radiator manufacturers? - Intrinsic safety (no risk of overheating, burnings or fire) - No need of thermofuse and therefore no more burnt heaters also in case of partial filling - Reduced diameter and length vs constant power heaters (in particular 11 mm diameter also for class II elements) - No cold lengths (differently form constant power heaters which require not heating zones for the thermostat and the thermofuse) - Better circulation and faster heat-up times - Absolutely no noise due to cavitation effects - Uniform heating also for...
