Definitions

• the present invention relates to high-temperature heating systems consisting of a composite system made of enamelled metal substrate, an electrically insulating base glass layer applied thereon, metallic heat conductors and chemically resistant cover glass layer and a mediator layer between enamelled metal substrate and insulating glass layer, a method for producing these heating systems and their use.
• Low temperature heating systems based on enamelled steel sheet have been known for a long time.
• electrical resistances in the form of heating lacquers, metal-containing pastes or metallic conductor tracks are applied directly to the enamelling.
• This conventional enamelling which acts as an electrical insulator, has the disadvantage that its electrical volume resistance decreases as the temperature rises, so that the use of such heating systems is limited to a low temperature range ( ⁇ 150 ° C.).
• DE-A 3536268 describes a heating element for high operating temperatures (> 150 ° C).
• This is a composite system consisting of sheet steel, on which there is an electrically insulating base glass layer, metallic conductor tracks and a chemical-resistant cover glass layer as a finish to the outside.
• This heating element can be loaded up to 400 ° C without changing the resistance of the insulating glass layer.
• This electrically insulating glass layer used here consists of an alkali-free calcium aluminum borosilicate (see also DE-A 3446554).
• the disadvantage of these heating elements is that the steel sheet must be decarburized, degreased, pickled and nickel-plated so that the insulating glass layer adheres well to the steel sheet.
• the heating elements further described in this document in which a steel sheet coated with a base enamel was used instead of a treated steel sheet, have the disadvantage that after a short time and repeated heating and cooling of the element, the volume resistance of the insulating glass layer also decreases here and thus the Functionality is severely impaired or even disturbed.
• the task was therefore to provide heating elements in which on the one hand the steel sheet does not have to be pretreated and on the other hand the insulating glass layer on which the conductor tracks are located maintains its volume resistance.
• the present invention relates to a high-temperature heating system consisting of an enamelled metal substrate, preferably sheet steel, on which there is a multi-layer system consisting of an inner layer of insulating glass, metallic conductor tracks and an outer layer of a cover glass, which is characterized in that the layer system a mediator layer is connected to the enamelled metal substrate.
• the mediator layer consists of a mixture of a zirconium phosphate glass and a boron-titanium frit, this mixture preferably consisting of 35-55% by weight of zirconium phosphate glass and 65-45% by weight of boron-titanium frit.
• the insulating glass layer is an alkali-free calcium-alumo-borosilicate glass.
• the outer cover glass layer consists of a mixture of a boron-titanium frit and a zirconium phosphate glass.
• the high-temperature heating systems according to the invention are produced by multi-screen printing processes in that the various layers are applied in succession to the enamelled metal substrate and then baked together in one operation at 780 to 850 ° C., preferably at 780 to 820 ° C.
• the layers are applied in the form of pastes, the pastes being mixed by intimate mixing of the mediator frit as a fine powder (grain size range from 1 to 25 ⁇ m), the insulating glass or the cover glass with a thermoplastic medium, an oil medium or with a medium of a water-soluble organic suspension.
• the mixing ratio of powder to medium is preferably approximately 4: 1.
• the pastes are applied either at room temperature or at elevated temperature (especially when using thermoplastics) with the screen printing mesh.
• Pine oil (80-90% by weight) with 3-15% by weight of rosin or derivatives thereof, 1-4% by weight of cellulose derivatives and 2-5% by weight of acrylic acid ester is preferably used as the oil medium, while the organic suspension preferably contains a mixture of 5-10% by weight of cellulose derivatives, 20-30% by weight of ethyl alcohol and 60% by weight of glycol derivatives.
• thermoplastic medium used is preferably steryl alcohol (70-80% by weight) with 5-15% by weight glycol ester, 5-15% by weight acrylic ester and 5-10% by weight rosin.
• the heating conductor is also applied in the form of a paste consisting of the above.
• Media and very finely divided metal particles preferably silver, ruthenium, a blend of the two metals, nickel or copper.
• the layer thickness of the screen printing layers is regulated via the mesh size and the thread thickness of the screen printing network.
• Sieves with 62 to 84 meshes / cm are preferred for the application of the heating circuit boards and sieves with 34 to 42 meshes / cm for the application of the other pastes.
• the heating conductor layer has a thickness of approximately 15-20 ⁇ m, while the remaining layers have thicknesses of the order of 50 ⁇ m.
• the high-temperature heating systems are preferably used as inserts in ovens, in washing machines, in hot water tanks and in toasters.
• a metal substrate preferably a steel sheet, which is provided as a high-temperature heating element, is coated with a known enamel frit by conventional methods (wet method or electrostatic) and fired.
• This enamelled metal substrate is then coated with e.g. 4 different pastes made of thermoplastic medium coated in the form of 5 screen printing jobs to be finally fired at 780-850 ° C.
• thermoplastic media such as a thermoplastic based on sterol and a plasticizer
• the intermediate drying after each screen printing job is omitted (see e.g. oil medium). Before the actual penetration, only a single evaporation is required.
• the mediator frit which consists of a mixture of 35-55% by weight of a zirconium phosphate glass and 65-45% by weight of a commercially available boron-titanium frit, is used as a fine powder (particle size range from 1 to 25 ⁇ m) with the thermoplastic and the plasticizer is intimately mixed in a closed container at approx. 75 ° C for approx. one hour using a stirrer and homogenized using a three-roll mill, the cylinders of which are also preheated to approx. 60 ° C.
• the mixing ratio of the powder to the medium is 4: 1.
• the homogenized product is liquid on the (directly or indirectly) heated screen printing network on the enameled metal substrate.
• the sieve has 34 to 42 stitches / cm.
• the pastes with the insulating glass or cover glass are produced and applied in the same way.
• the heating conductor paste consists of finely divided metal particles in the thermoplastic medium. Sieves with 62 to 84 stitches / cm are used for the application.
• thermoplastic medium is evaporated at 780-850 ° C in a drying or heating tunnel at approx. 100-150 ° C before the actual fire.
• Insulating glass (sieve with 34 stitches / cm; applied twice to increase the layer thickness):
• Finely divided silver in a thermoplastic medium 70-80% by weight steryl alcohol, 5-15% by weight glycol ester, 5-15 % By weight of acrylic acid ester and 5-10% by weight of rosin).
• each screen print is 50 ⁇ m, while the heating conductor layer moves at a thickness of 15-20 ⁇ m.
• Screen printing is carried out using commercial machines available on the market.
• the same application system can also be used for geometrically complex metal substrate shapes, namely by means of the so-called "pad printing" using special media.
• the fire takes place at 800-820 ° C in one operation.
