TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

The global heating industry is undergoing significant transformation as the demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions increases. Traditional wire heating systems are inefficient with limitations such as uneven heat distribution, high power consumption, and restricted flexibility and high carbon emission. These challenges necessitate the development of advanced heating materials that can offer higher efficiency, lower energy consumption, greater flexibility, and adaptability to various applications.

In response, the technology owner has developed an innovative flexible intelligent electrothermal film made from carbon fibers, representing a novel electrothermal conversion material. Through independent research and development (R&D) in large-scale preparation and modification, this technology has achieved low-voltage and high-efficiency energy conversion. By incorporating intelligent power management, this electrothermal film overcomes many limitations of traditional resistance wire heating and offers unique surface radiation benefits, delivering more than 30% energy savings. Its scalable production and unique performance advantages position it as a key technology to address the heating needs of the future.

The technology owner has expertise and large-scale production capabilities and is actively seeking R&D collaboration opportunities with industrial partners to explore potential applications.
