    摘要: Electrical resistance heating elements (100) are provided which are useful in heating fluid mediums, such as air and water. The heating elements include an element body (100) having a supporting surface (10) and a resistance wire (14) wound onto the supporting surface (10) which is connected to a pair of terminal end portions (16 and 12). Disposed over the resistance wire (14), and over most of the supporting surface (10), is a polymeric coating (30) which hermetically encapsulates and electrically insulates the resistance wire (14) from the fluids to be heated. This thermally-conductive polymer coating (30) has a thermal conductivity value of at least about 0.5 W/mK. Improved properties are preferably provided by ceramic powder, aluminum oxide and magnesium oxide, and glass fiber additives.

    摘要: Electrical resistance heating element, hot water heaters containing such elements, and method of preparing such elements are provided. The electrical resistance heating elements can be disposed through a wall of a tank for heating fluid, such as water. They include a skeletal support frame (70), having a first supporting surface (69), thereon. They also include a resistance wire (66) wound onto the first supporting surface (69) and preferably connected to at least a pair of terminal end portions. The support frame (70) and resistance wire (66) are then hermetically encapsulated and electrically insulated within a thermally conductive polymeric coating (64). The skeletal support frame (70) improves injection molding operations for encapsulating the resistance wire (66), and can include heat transfer fins (62) for improving thermal conductivity.
