Capabilities of Woven Electric Heaters with Elements of Heat-Generating Steel Wire

Abstract

The requirements for woven electric heaters that provide both a contact thermal effect on a person and obtaining a human response to this effect, which is a novelty, are provided. A comparison of the results obtained using woven electric heaters with heat-generating elements made of steel wire and carbon threads is carried out. The experiments have confirmed the validity of these requirements when producing and using woven electric heaters with heat-generating elements made of materials with different physical properties. The results may be of interest to specialists in the field of thermal physics, electrical engineering, physiology, etc.
