Perspectives of the use of composite heating elements in different systems of life-support
In this article we consider the question of creating new heating systems at the basis of heating elements with individual characteristics. We presented one of the new directions in this field based on the use of glass-ceramic material, where creation of a resistive layer is with the help of glass crystallization together with functional base. We presented analyses of the existing works in this field and personal experience of the authors. It is shown that technical characteristics of heating elements can be changed in accordance with outer impact. We presented the model of calculation of parameters of heating elements and new perspectives for the use of these heating elements in the life-support systems are revealed.
