Developing physical-chemical principles to manufacture effective heating systems when using mica

The organization of effective heating systems in non-industrial, industrial and livestock buildings is an urgent problem. The developing of heating is especially relevant for utilizing in agricultural industry. Energy prices are steadily rising, and as a result, the efficient utilization of energy resources is of great significance for this industry. One of the most prospective lines of development in this area can be the trend to utilize resistive heaters where mica is used as a basic material. The research aim. Developing physical-chemical principles to manufacture effective heating systems when using mica for the construction industry. The possibility of employing composite materials to produce an economically sound, reliable, electro-permissible and stable heater is considered. Finding physical and chemical laws of interaction of mica with the binder element in the technology of micaceous composites. Research methods. The methods of thermodynamic quantum chemical calculations, as well as kinetic studies that involve a number of advanced techniques of physical and chemical studies (x-ray phase analysis, thermal analysis, and IR spectroscopy). Electro physical and mechanical characteristics of composites and starting materials were determined by the standardized methods to comply with the All Union State Standard. Research results. The foundations of effective heating systems when utilizing micalex have been worked out by means of scientific generalizations and experimental studies. The developed technology of electric heating elements (mica ceramic electric heating) is employed in various fields of construction industry.
