Abstract

Abstract: The present paper considers the effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (acting as a part of a silicon-organic composite) on the properties of a self-regulating electric heater. Flat electric heaters were manufactured with a heat exchange area of 1600 m 2 . The heater operating parameters were studied in the temperature range from -60°C to +70°C. The dynamics of the electric current consumed was investigated under self-regulation in the same temperature range It was revealed that when cutting the self-regulating heater into separate parts, the properties of self-regulation and power are maintained in proportion to the size.
