SmartHeat SLT: Simple, Stable and Safe
SmartHeat is the ideal solution for many of today’s most
demanding heating applications. It provides a plug-and-
play heating solution requiring only a power source. Each
heater operates to a specic temperature and power
based on its unique design. The heating power is applied
and modulated at innite points across the entire heating
surface based on the heat load. This allows the heater to
provide the required power, up to but never exceeding the
designed temperature and protecting both the heater and
its heat sink.
Simplicity
Each SmartHeat solution is designed and manufactured
to achieve and maintain a specic temperature. Because
of this, SmartHeat is unique in requiring no external sensor
or controller. Every point on the heater’s surface acts as
heater, sensor, and controller. The resulting all-in-one de-
sign greatly simplies your bill of materials and assembly
of your nal product. As a self-contained unit, SmartHeat
is more reliable, combining the functions of a controller,
a sensor, and a heater system in one component.
SmartHeat SLT™:
Temperature Control Was Never this Easy
Temperature is critical to a variety of mechanical, chemical, and biological processes.
From the cold of space to the halls of a modern hospital, developers build in heating to
keep products and systems running properly. SmartHeat SLT™ uses a patented polymer
compound to produce a thin lm heater that controls temperature without external sensors
or controllers.
SmartHeat is a simple self-contained solution, providing
a more robust and compact design in comparison with
traditional resistive heater and control systems.

Stability
From a cold start, SmartHeat initially provides maximum power to quickly reach its designated operating
temperature. As it approaches the operating temperature it will sharply reduce power output and slow heating.
When the operating temperature is reached, SmartHeat provides only the power required to maintain thermal
equilibrium, eliminating any temperature overshoot. Once thermal equilibrium is achieved, SmartHeat responds
to any changes in the environment to maintain the operating temperature across the entire device surface. The
heater will adjust power output as necessary at each point across its surface to maintain uniform temperature.
A traditional heater, where power output is typically controlled by a single sensor feedback loop, is unable to
compensate for localized transient variations and can lead to non-uniform temperatures.
