Abstract
A low voltage (e.g. 48v) conductive polymer heating system capable of providing all or part of the heating requirements necessary to provide heating for a variety of end uses comprises a conductive polymer incorporated into the intestacies of a fabric 1, busbars 2 formed of conductive strips being provided and connect with push fit connectors 3 via a fuse 5 to a low voltage supply 4. A flexible film may be laminated to one or both sides of the fabric which may include a reflective element. The polymer may include carbon, graphite, polypyrolle, polyanaline, carbon nanotubes, polyethylene dioxythiopnene, polystyrene sulphonate or a combination of these.

DESCRIPTION
LOW VOLTAGE CONDUCTiVE POLYMER HEATING SYSTEM This invention relates to a system capable of providing full or partial heating in structures, transport vehicles, leisure craft, mobile or temporary structures or survival equipment.
Under floor heating, where a heat source is used under a floor surface, to provide an increase in the ambient air temperature. This gives an even distribution of heat throughout the room. Unlike other localized point heating like fires or radiators.
There are two commonly used types of underfoot heating systems, which utilize cables or water filled pipes. These could be classified as localized heating but they also heat the floor and thence the room.
Cable systems are generally mains powered with the water filled pipes being generally heated using a gas boiler, both systems are installed under or in the base floor in a screed to protect them which makes retrofitting difficult.
The present invention proposes a conductive polymer fabric heating system, which can be laid directly under floor surfaces including carpets, tiles and laminates without the need to be imbedded in a screed. The system would work on a low voltage, up to 48 Volts either AC or DC.
The heating system could directly utilize renewable energy sources such as wind power, water or solar power and also mains electricity via a transformer.
The invention will be described by way of an example and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 represents the conductive polymer heating system In figure 1, a fabric 1, which shows a conductive polymer incorporated into the intestacies of the fabric making it semi conductive. The conductive polymer may include carbon, graphite, polypyrolle, polyanaline, carbon nanotubes, PEDOT (polyethylene dioxythiopnene, polystyrene sulphonate) or combinations of these. The fabric could have a flexible film laminated to one or both sides which may include a reflective element to reflect heat back into the object being heated.
Figure 1, conductive strips 2, shows flexible conductive strips attached to the fabric, enabling the supply and return of the electricity supply.
Figure 1, contact 3, shows the power supply attached to the conductive strips 2. * 2
Figure 1, low voltage power supply 4, shows a power source which could be from renewable resources or mains electricity via a transformer.
Figure 1, fuse 5, shows a fuse which would trip if voltage goes over the required power rating.
