Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnetic field-blocking panel heater. The magnetic field-blocking panel heater includes a panel heating element comprising a heat generating electrical conductor enclosed in an electrical insulator and first electrodes for transferring current to the electrical conductor. A magnetic field-blocking material surrounds the panel heating element. Second electrodes are respectively connected to the first electrodes of the panel heating element and extended outside of the magnetic field-blocking material for transferring current to the first electrodes, wherein the magnetic field-blocking material absorbs a magnetic field generated by the panel heating element when current is applied to the electrical conductor via the first and second electrodes.

Claims

1. A magnetic field-blocking panel heater, comprising:

a panel heating element comprising a heat generating electrical conductor enclosed in an electrical insulator and first electrodes for transferring current to the electrical conductor;

a magnetic field-blocking material surrounding the panel heating element; and

second electrodes respectively connected to the first electrodes of the panel heating element and extending outside of the magnetic field-blocking material for transferring current to the first electrodes,

wherein the magnetic field-blocking material absorbs a magnetic field generated by the panel heating element when current is applied to the electrical conductor via the first and second electrodes.

2. The magnetic field-blocking panel heater of claim 1, wherein the magnetic field-blocking material comprises metal plates attached to upper and lower surfaces of the panel heating element.

3. The magnetic field-blocking panel heater of claim 2, wherein the metal plates are attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the panel heating element by an adhesive.

4. The magnetic field-blocking panel heater of claim 3, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one of a thermostatic material and a material having a heat-resistant temperature not lower than 70°

C.

5.
