Abstract
An apparatus and methods for attaching electrical leads (22, 24) to a heating layer (16) of a heater are provided. An attachment material (50) is thermally sprayed over cords (32) of the electrical leads (22, 24), which are in contact with the heating layer (16) over a contact area (20). The attachment material (50) and the heating layer 16 are further thermally sprayed with a layer (52), which is an isolating material. The thermal sprayed connection between the electrical leads (22, 24) and the heating layer (16) thus provides more intimate contact and an improved electrical connection.
Claims11
A method for attachment of an electrical lead wire to a surface element comprising:
- fanning out cord of the electrical lead wire;
- preparing an attachment area for the cords of the lead wire at least indirectly on the surface element;
- and
- thermally spraying the lead wire to the attachment area with an attachment material.
A method for attachment of an electrical lead wire to a surface element comprising:
- thermally spraying a contact material onto a surface of the surface element to create a contact point;
- and
- welding the lead wire to the contact point,
- wherein the surface element is an electrically conductive layer selected from a group consisting of a heating layer and a cooling layer, and the contact point is electrically connected with the electrically conductive layer.
A method for attachment of an electrical lead wire to a surface element comprising:
- thermally spraying a contact material onto a surface of the surface element to create a contact point;
- and
- welding the lead wire to the contact point,
- wherein an electrically isolating layer is applied over the contact point and the lead wire.
A heating device comprising a heating layer and an electrical lead wire connected at an attachment area, the electrical lead wire comprising fanned out cords that are secured to the attachment area by thermal sprayed attachment material.
