Flooring modules based on mica ceramic electric heating in construction industry

Abstract

There are various systems of heating facilities for agricultural purposes. As for young-stock breeding, flooring heating systems are mainly used. In most cases, they are presented by hot water heating or a heating device embedded in concrete. But their structures contribute to significant heat waste and high water absorption capacity. The problem: the development of productive flooring heating structures is relevant. Effective heating systems employed in facilities for agricultural purposes are those based on mica ceramic electric heating. Research aim: To develop flooring heating panels based on mica ceramic electric heating to be used in facilities for agricultural purposes. Research target: A flooring heating panel is a special modular structure with mica ceramic heating elements. Research methods: a number of advanced techniques of physical-chemical studies of composite materials (X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal analysis, and IR spectroscopy) and standardized methods to comply with the All Union State Standard. Research results: The flooring modular heating panel for resistive heating systems used in facilities for agricultural purposes and personnel facilities based on mica ceramic electric heating has been developed and introduced. The technology of manufacturing original mica ceramic electric heating elements (mica ceramic electric heating) with high performance specifications has been developed. The technology is used in the flooring heating model. The physical and chemical processes occurring when producing mica ceramic electric heating have been pointed out. The formula of the load for manufacturing new composite materials has been recommended.
