Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of the temperature coefficient of electric resistance on the thermal performance of a film heater for satellite applications. A heating element in the film heater was fabricated using silver paste and screen-printing technology. The temperature distributions of the film heater were numerically simulated on the basis of the heat transfer equation. The temperature coefficient of resistance was evaluated by measuring the film-heater temperature at various voltages using a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera. The results showed that the electric resistance linearly increased with a temperature variation. By considering the temperature coefficient of electric resistance, the error of numerical simulation decreased from 22.5% to 10%. The voltage required to reach the maximum allowable temperature at a given sink temperature was higher than the design voltage when the temperature coefficient was not considered. This indicated that greater power would be required to operate the film heater in real satellite applications.
