Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A surface heater including a substrate, an insulating layer positioned on the substrate, and a heater layer positioned on the insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer and the heating layer are co-fired.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A surface heater, comprising: a substrate; an insulating layer disposed on the substrate; a heater layer disposed on the insulating layer. 2 . The surface heater of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises one of a glass material, a glass-ceramic material, or a ceramic material. 3 . The surface heater of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer comprises at least one of Boron nitride, Aluminum nitride, and Silicon nitride. 4 . The surface heater of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer comprises glass frit as a binder. 5 . The surface heater of claim 4 , wherein the binder comprises a Borosilicate component and/or a Bentonite component. 6 . The surface heater of claim 1 , wherein the heater layer comprises at least one lanthanide oxide from a group consisting of LSM (Lanthanum Strontium Manganite), LSCF (Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite), LNF (Lanthanum Nickel Ferrite), and LC (Lanthanum Cobalt oxide). 7 . The surface heater of claim 1 , wherein the heater layer comprises a metal powder. 8 . The surface heater of claim 7 , wherein the metal powder comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of silver (Ag), silver-palladium (Ag—Pd), and copper (Cu). 9 . The surface heater of claim 4 , wherein the heater layer comprises glass frit having the same composition as the binder of the insulating layer. 10 . An electric range, comprising: a surface heater, comprising: a substrate, a co-fired insulating layer disposed on the substrate, and a co-fired heater layer disposed on the insulating layer. 11 . A method of manufacturing a surface heater, comprising: preparing a substrate; providing an insulating layer on the substrate; providing a heater layer on the insulating layer; and co-firing the insulating layer and the heater layer. 12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising: drying the heater layer prior to the co-firing the insulating layer and the heater layer step of the method. 13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the substrate comprises one of a glass material, a glass-ceramic material, or a ceramic material. 14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the insulating layer comprises at least one of Boron nitride, Aluminum nitride, and Silicon nitride. 15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the insulating layer comprises glass frit as a binder. 16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the binder comprises a Borosilicate component and/or Bentonite component. 17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the heater layer comprises at least one lanthanide oxide from a group consisting of LSM (Lanthanum Strontium Manganite), LSCF (Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite), LNF (Lanthanum Nickel Ferrite), and LC (Lanthanum Cobalt oxide). 18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the heater layer comprises a metal powder. 19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the metal powder comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of silver (Ag), silver-palladium (Ag—Pd), and copper (Cu). 20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the heater layer comprises glass frit having the same component as the binder of the insulating layer.
