High-Watty Light

Aluminum nitride heater

The alu­minum ni­tride heat­ing el­e­ment Hi-Wat­ty Light is the in­no­va­tion for high-speed heat­ing and cool­ing of liq­uids and gas­es. Its minia­ture de­sign and out­stand­ing per­for­mance make it the ide­al so­lu­tion for com­pact high-tech ap­pli­ca­tions re­quir­ing the high­est tem­per­a­ture con­trol speed and ho­mo­gene­ity of heat distribution.

For very rapid heating of liquids and gases.

Aluminum nitride heater

The aluminum nitride heater is also available in small dimensions.

Thanks to its minia­tur­ized de­sign, the AlN heater re­quires very lit­tle in­stal­la­tion space. In­stal­la­tion does not de­mand any spe­cial re­quire­ments. The stan­dard range in­cludes four ver­sions for volt­ages from 100 to 200 volts, with out­puts rang­ing from 45 to 1,600 watts. The pow­er den­si­ties are be­tween 16 and 96 W/cm2 and the re­sis­tance val­ues be­tween 25 and 400 Ω.

The ce­ram­ic High-Wat­ty Light is a bench­mark as a high­ly ef­fi­cient al­ter­na­tive to sil­i­cone, poly­imide or mi­ca heat­ing el­e­ments as well as for new de­vel­op­ments in the fields of heat man­age­ment and me­dia tem­per­a­ture con­trol. Its ther­mal con­duc­tiv­i­ty of 180 W/m • K (or more) is close to that of metal­lic alu­minum. Pow­er den­si­ty and ther­mal shock re­sis­tance are first-rate, and the ther­mal ex­pan­sion rate is on­ly 4.8 x 10–6/ °C. The con­tact re­sis­tance at room tem­per­a­ture is 2.6 x 1014 Ω • cm.

Areas of application 

Semi­con­duc­tor Industry

The de­vel­op­ment and man­u­fac­ture of sys­tems and ma­chines for the se­ries pro­duc­tion of mi­cro­elec­tron­ic, op­to­elec­tron­ic and in­duc­tive pow­er com­po­nents is one of the main ar­eas of ap­pli­ca­tion of the alu­minum ni­tride heat­ing el­e­ment Hi-Wat­ty Light. In this field, it en­ables the im­ple­men­ta­tion of ther­mo­dy­nam­i­cal­ly de­mand­ing man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es and con­tact­ing technologies.

Au­to­mo­tive

Ow­ing to its minia­tur­ized de­sign, the Hi-Wat­ty Light alu­minum ni­tride heat­ing el­e­ment en­ables the pro­duc­tion of ul­tra-com­pact, space-sav­ing and very light­weight elec­tron­ic and ther­mo­dy­nam­ic com­po­nents for mod­ern en­gine, trans­mis­sion and clutch tech­nol­o­gy, among oth­er things.

Med­ical and lab­o­ra­to­ry technology

In the field of med­ical and lab­o­ra­to­ry equip­ment and ap­pa­ra­tus en­gi­neer­ing, the alu­minum ni­tride heat­ing el­e­ment Hi-Wat­ty Light is used, for in­stance, in the de­sign of mod­ern screen­ing, analy­sis and ex­trac­tion systems.

Mea­sur­ing and test­ing technology

Mea­sur­ing and test­ing tech­nol­o­gy is al­so one of the core ar­eas of ap­pli­ca­tion for the Hi-Wat­ty Light alu­minum ni­tride heat­ing el­e­ment. In this con­text, it can be used, among oth­er things, as a ther­mo­dy­nam­ic pow­er com­po­nent in gas test­ing in­stru­ments, fre­quen­cy mea­sur­ing sys­tems, de­tec­tion de­vices and ra­di­o­log­i­cal apparatus.

Re-en­gi­neer­ing and retrofitting

Hi-Wat­ty Light alu­minum ni­tride heaters are used in the re-en­gi­neer­ing and retro­fitting of heat man­age­ment and me­dia tem­per­a­ture con­trol equip­ment and ap­pa­ra­tus when op­ti­miz­ing and mod­ern­iz­ing sys­tems. For in­stance, as an al­ter­na­tive to sil­i­cone, poly­imide or mi­ca heat­ing el­e­ments. As such, it en­ables both con­sid­er­able in­creas­es in per­for­mance and in the im­ple­men­ta­tion of minia­tur­iza­tion concepts.
