Thick Film Heating Technology Overview  

           Thick film heating technology is a new type of heating technology that forms a heating circuit with resistance by printing special conductive paste on a high-temperature resistant insulating substrate, then sintering and other processes. When current passes through the circuit, electrical energy is quickly converted into heat energy, thereby achieving heating function. In recent years, the application trend of thick film electric heating technology in energy storage power stations has gradually emerged with the rapid development of the new energy industry. Its efficient, precise and compact characteristics are highly compatible with the demand for temperature management and energy efficiency improvement in energy storage systems. GIDA Focusing on thick film research for 15 years, the thick film electric heating elements produced by it have many advantages such as fast heating speed, high thermal efficiency, high power density, small size, long service life, energy conservation and environmental protection.

Application of thick film electric heating elements in energy storage power station 

1. Energy storage batteries thermal management

   In energy storage power stations, the performance and lifespan of energy storage batteries are greatly affected by temperature. In low-temperature environments, the charging and discharging efficiency of batteries will decrease significantly , and may even fail to working. GIDA The high electric thermal conversion efficiency of thick film heating elements (more than 96% ) can be applied to the heating of battery modules, raising the temperature of the battery accurately and quickly, enabling it to reach the working temperature range as soon as possible in cold environments, ensuring the normal charging and discharging performance of the battery. At the same time, it can cooperate with the cooling system to achieve more precise bidirectional regulation of battery temperature, ensuring the battery is always in a safe and efficient working temperature range.

2. Energy storage medium preheating 

For some energy storage systems that use specific energy storage media (such as phase change energy storage materials, etc.), it may be necessary to preheat the energy storage media to a suitable temperature before releasing or absorbing energy， GIDA Thick film heating technology can provide efficient and reliable heating methods, enabling energy storage media to better utilize their energy storage and release functions, and improving the energy storage efficiency and flexibility of the entire energy storage power plant.
