Description
FUSION ASSEMBLY FOR THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to the field of "melt applicators" or "melt dispensers". Although the majority of the prior art (mentioned herein) tends to focus on the use of these applicators for the melt of adhesives, it is not intended to limit the scope of; this invention for this purpose alone, since it is applicable to the supply of any thermoplastic material. Broadly, the invention relates to new and improved fusion chambers for such dispensers. Any "melt applicator", "melt dispenser", "cement gun", "adhesive dispenser", etc., can be divided functionally and at least three groups of components: (1) A melt assembly or fusion assembly consisting of a thermally conductive housing "referred to herein as" melting housing ") having an internal melting chamber, a means for heating, a means for controlling or regulate the heating temperature (in some prior art this may be integral to the heating medium), wires or wiring necessary to connect the electrical components together and to supply electrical energy for the operation, a means d < conduit which allows the introduction of the thermoplastic material into the affusion housing (referred to as an "inlet tube", "guide tube", "tube fed" or "feeding tube", a means to join the bo entry, an exit or outlet means that has characteristic to join or fix a nozzle or valve or a similar device to limit, direct or control the flow of thermoplastic materials. For present purposes, this grouping of parts is referred to as the "assembly of the melt" or "fusion assembly". .2; A feeding means for advancing the thermoplastic material or materials within the previous melting assembly. In its simplest form, it could be the thumb or finger of the operator applying force directly to the material itself. More commonly, it involves some mechanism which, when external force is applied, holds, grasps or engages the material to be melted and then moves them forward to the fusion assembly. This force can be manually operated or hand pressed; mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic pressure; motor or electric driven media; or any combination of other methods. (3) A means to locate, retain and protect the above elements (and the operator) and also include one or more of the following: handle or handles, box or outer boxes or housing; cables, power supply wires and / or connections; pneumatic or hydraulic supply lines and / or connections; separators; insulators; fasteners; openings or ventilation and the like. This invention is mainly related to a synergistic and unique group of certain parts, materials and / or features which are located within the first grouping of elements or "fusion assembly" as described above and the which offers distinctive and specific advantages over the prior art. U.S. Patent No. 4,637,745 to Speisebecher et al., Dated January 20, 1987, entitled "MELT DISPENSERS" is of interest for the background, mainly due to its discussion and description of "fins" and / or " Fin elements "as used in the fusion chamber of the device. The fin elements and the "subelements" are numerous and complex. The Patent Specification of Great Britain No.
1,402,648, published on August 13, 1975, entitled "IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING MOLTEN TH? RMOPLASTIC COMPOSITIONS" is of interest in several areas: (1) Describes a fusion chamber which is "substantially in W or V in the cross section "; although it fails to specifically describe or place numerical values or numerical / dimensional relationships in its description. What should be considered as fin elements in this patent are mentioned only as "undulations" or as a "wave perimeter". The corrugations are not pronounced and are not "blade-like" enough to be effective in penetrating and melting thermoplastic material. (2) Describe how a "thermostatic unit controls the heater to maintain the temperature of the material in the melting chamber at a desired level", but fails to be more specific as to the type of heater, type of heater (a part of the one generally described with an "electric cartridge heater"), place any of the numerical values in terms of their operating ranges, temperature ranges, etc. Only the temperature value shown in the full specification is 204.4 ° C (400 ° F). U.S. Patent No. 4,059,204 to Duncan et al., Issued November 22, 1977, entitled "SYSTEM FOR DISPENSING AND CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OF HOT MELT ADHESIVE" is of interest in several areas.
(1) The electronic circuitry is used in such a way that a set point of selected temperature, given "is automatically increased by a predetermined amount when the glue is flowing to compensate for the drop in temperature caused by the loss of heat to the glue and the atmosphere. " Reference is made to the effect that "the operator can adjust a desired temperature at which the glue is heated", but no numerical values are given for the temperature values. The patent seems to indicate a range in excess of 171 ° C (340 ° F). (2) A useful numerical value of 16 ° C (60 ° F) is shown as the value of the temperature difference between the melting chamber and the glue, when the latter is flowing through the melting chamber without the circuit of electronic compensation. (3) The use of standard cartridge heaters is indicated. British Patent Specification No. 1,562,926, published on March 19, 1980, entitled "IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO APPARATUS FOR MELTING AND DISPENSING THERMOPLASTICS MATERIAL AND METHODS OF MAKING SUCH APPARATUS" er! or included because the apparatus in the patent applications what is described is an "electric heater" and "a ^" e? Toe H or "European Patent Application No. 90400216.9, publication No. 0 380 420 A2 , the applicant / inventor Peter S. Melendy, entitled "GLUE STICK AND APPLICATOR", filing date of January 24, 1990 describes a glue stick, specifically having an oval cross-sectional shape, and also includes a glue applicator to use the glue sticks The application suggests that only the input portion of the heating chamber (melting) needs to substantially resemble the glue stick and that it can "taper from the entrance to the circulating: -. A portion having a circular cross-section. "The present invention utilizes a similar design concept allowing the entry opening to accept alternating cross-sectional shapes / perimeters.United States Patent No. 4,774,123 to Michael. M. Dziki, issued September 27, 1988, entitled "THERMOPLASTIC BLOCK SHAPE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD" demonstrates alternative embodiments of thermoplastic materials having different, and / or alternating, cross-sectional shapes. No. 5,041,482 of Robert L. Ornsteen et al., Issued August 20, 1991, entitled "COOL MELT GLUE" is informative with respect to the preferred temperature ranges of the prior art thermoplastic materials and the application equipment. No. 4,523,705 of Richard V \. Belanger et al., issued on June 18, 1985, entitled "MECHANISM FOR GLUE GUN" deals with the n the issue of "excessive force" that applies to the use and operation of glue chips. Excessive force is usually applied when the user of the gun tries to force the cold glue through a heating chamber, which has not been given an adequate time to reach the optimal temperature for the operation of the pipe. The solution offered by this patent suggests the use of spring characteristics or mechanical fusion characteristics to compensate for the excessive force applied. The solution offered by the present invention is different. By providing a combination of improved temperature control and heating, together with an improved design for the melting chamber, the time to reach the optimal temperature for the operation of the gun or what is referred to as "time of recovery "is significantly reduced. The issue of "excessive force" is therefore avoided. US Pat. No. 2,389,686 to F. Reingiubei et al., Issued November 27, 1945, entitled "" "ERMOSTAT" "relates to a mounted surface of the type of expansion / conduction of the thermostat as it is preferred for this invention. Model "HP" Applicator from 3M Company: This tool has an adjustable temperature feature, which offers 7 specific temperatures, which are selectable by the user changing the interruption settings in an external controller (for the gun) of module / transformer located at one end of the electric cable. The temperature sensing device is a thermistor, which is located between the two heating cartridges of the product, all located on the same side of the fusion chamber. Sofragraf Model HM-318 (Terrel 1, 'Terian Model TMA-100); and Sofragraf Model PAC-318 (Terreil / Terlan Model TMA-101 and H.B. Fuller Model TMA-101) [Manufactured by Sofragraf Industries, St. Ame, FRANCE]. This family of tools uses adjustable temperature thermostats, which have an adjustable range from 177 ° C to 232 ° C (350 ° F to 450 ° F) by means of an adjustment button attached directly to the thermostat. The specific type of the thermostat having bi-metallic detection elements is not the preferred expansion / conduction type used in the present invention. The applicator has mechanical "seals" to limit the movement of the button, so that the minimum or maximum adjustment can not be exceeded. This model dates to a period of 1979-4980. Sofragraf Model HM-112 (Terrell / Terlan Model TM-80); Sofragraf Model HM-114, HM-115, (includes Regal R-1200X); Sofragraf Model PAC-113 (H.B. Fuller Model TM-81).
All these guns use thermostats that have bi-metallic detection elements. Hysol Model 2000, currently manufactured by Dexter-Hysol Corp. This gun does not use a thermostat, but also an electronic circuit with a thermistor detector for control; - ?: ei le ^ e- .:? E e heating of 100W. There is a potentiometer device to adjust the temperature, but it is very sensitive and small increases in the adjustment result in large temperature shifts. They do not seem to be superior or inferior "stop" features to limit the amount of adjustment. This general method of temperature control is very accurate and when the gun is inactive, the inactive temperature range remains within a narrow band of approximately -12 ° C (10 ° F). Unfortunately, once the dynamic loading conditions begin (ie the material is supplied), the temperature drops significantly. A.M.C. (Adhesive Machinery Corporation of Seabrook, New Hampshire) Model # 275HS. This tool has a small marker thermometer located near the exit opening of a fusion chamber. This is a prior art concept of a "temperature reference point". (No longer commercially available). A.M.C. (Adhesive Machinery Corporation of Seabrook, New Hampshire) Model # 350P, model name "Hipermatic 2.5". This model had an external control box which allows switching between a regular application temperature in the range of 193 ° -204 ° C (380 ° -400 ° F) and a "Sustained" setting at or below 135 ° C (275 ° F). It was later supplanted by the Model "SST-1" which has the characteristics of commutation within the same gun. (No longer commercially available). This invention offers improved efficiency in the melting of thermoplastic materials (including but not limited to adhesives) and is primarily rare to be used in what can be termed in the art as a "glue applicator", "melting jet", "melting gun". hot melt applicator "," melt applicator "," glue gun ", etc. It is important to note that this invention does not focus on a complete glue gun, but on the contrary it is related to the assembly of the component main used in these applicators for the heating, melting, homogenization and regulation of the temperature of the thermostatic material or materials, that is to say a fusion assembly or housing of tut.- As such, it can be incorporated in any di- in dispenser / applicator, many of which are already known &nt the technique.Using the hot melt adhesives in the range of 188 ° -204 ° C (370 ° -400 ° F), this invention in a gun of glue or similar provides highly improved melting rates, almost 45.4 grams / minute
(0.100 ... fibers / minute) with an effective yield of
3 kilograms / hour (6 pounds / hour) using thermoplastic arr .3 of 11-12 mm in diameter, cylindrical and keeps the fusion output similarly consistent, regardless of whether it is the first minute or any minute ro s t i -; of the same. This melting rate is almost twice as high as 20-24 grams / minute as mentioned in U.S. Patent No. 4,637,745 (Spiesbecher et al.). This invention solves a problem hitherto unrecognized, since it is capable of less variation in the melt outlet between dense and / or high viscosity materials when compared to less dense and / or less viscous materials. Previous devices have shown a noticeable decrease in the exit of the melt with a higher viscosity and / or denser materials. This projection is measured in terms of weight over time, usually grams / minute (pounds / hour, pounds / minute). This was a new and unexpected result of the development. The invention for glue guns was recognized during the first tests completed in a glue gun embodying the invention. In most of the development of the modalities of the glue tiles that they incorporate in this inv ntion, a feature has been offered for the adjustment of the temperature in any range from the ambient of 21 ° C (70 ° F ^ to a theoretical maximum of 316 ° C (600 ° F). Initially, it is expected to operate in a temperature range selectable by the user from a minimum setting of 98.9 ° C (210 ° F) to a maximum setting of 210 ° C (410 ° F).? llj: -. :: - '""?'; It will be equipped with a characteristic that will act to prevent the user from exceeding either the lower (minimum) or higher (maximum) temperature limits. The combination of this wide temperature range together with such "seals" is a new improvement over the prior art and is believed to have never been claimed for similar devices using thermostats. In its most preferred embodiment, the invention provides a feature referred to herein as "temperature reference point" or "standard temperature location". It consists of a threaded or unthreaded cavity or indentation located in or near the exit opening of the invention and provides a common reference point for temperature measurement during manufacturing, calibration, field diagnosis, service and repair. The features of the fusion blade of the invention are improvements over the prior art elements shown as "fin elements" in U.S. Patent No. 4,637,745 and "ripples" as shown in the U.S. Patent Specification. Great Britain No. 1,402,648. The "fin elements" shown in the United States Patent are somewhat similar -: .- 1 .. < - and where they are substantially triangular and located longitudinally along a melting axis with small "ends" closer to the entrance end of the melting chamber, progressively increasing in height as it approaches the opening of the melting chamber. exit from the fusion chamber. The improvement over the United States Patent on the fins / blades includes but is not limited to: (1) The present invention uses fewer blades in a simpler configuration and the blades used in this invention do not contact each other within the fusion chamber, but are located substantially parallel to, and interspersed with each other. This allows for the least complex h.-amental and manufacturing capacity that is most technically reliable.
(2) The lengths, angles, geometry, > ti- "empty of any of the openings of the same • u < t he individual lines are deliberately different, in such a way that no more than two blades will have the same physical geometry, or if they do so, no more than two blades will be These longitudinal "stepping" of the blades is more critical, because it allows the material to pass through the melting chamber to be sequential and to be "bifurcated" or "trifurcated" in smaller or less thick currents or sub-currents, this improvement decreases the "stall effect" or "suspension" experienced by the ~ -? N - ^ during the supply of the x.at er.
'-: "" cp'.ásric;, s. This effect is the result of the depletion of a surplus deposit of molten material, which is formed when a fusion assembly is heated but not used for supply. Once the supply is started or resumed and this deposit depleted, there may be a subsequent inability to control the heating and temperature to "keep" it with new and relatively colder material that is introduced and advanced through the chamber of fusion. This is frequently misinterpreted by users or operators as a malfunction, operation disadvantage or failure and has been the focus of other patents of the prior art, etc.
(3) There is no specific description in -a > US Pat. No. 4,637,745 with respect to the importance of having at least one of such a blade to bisect, intersect and extend through and beyond the axis of the center line of the fusion chamber. This feature only ensures that the relatively cold core of the material passing through the melting chamber is heated and properly homogenized with the hottest material around it. (4) The method or methods of the present invention of controlling heating and temperature are totally different and improved and offer improved operation to user adjustable settings. , 5 / There is no specific description as to any preferred setting of any blade in U.S. Patent 4,637,745. Some of the improvements on the Great Britain Specification (No. 1,402,648) "ripples" are that the cuicles of the invention are thinner, sharper and more "knife-like", more pronounced and are projected ! substantially more transverse or vertically upward and through the melting chamber, when viewed in cross section. These improvements because they offer better penetration and fusion of the thermoplastic materials as they are advanced through the • fusion chamber. When the present invention is adapted in a hand-operated application device, less hand strength will be required to supply the molten material. This will result in less hand fatigue and / or strain for the equipment operators in which this invention could be used.

This device is more or less typical of those known in the art, which can make use of the new and improved fusion housing of this invention. Other designs will also use this invention to excel. The device generally has a housing 3 in the form of a hand gun with a holding portion 4, which can be conveniently held by hand by an operator and a barrel portion to a camera body 8 on which it is provided.

Chamber body 8 projects forwardly from barrel portion 6, as generally shown at 10, and a mouthpiece member 12 is threaded into an internally threaded hole F at an end portion projecting forward from the body Of camera. At the rear end portion of the housing 3 in the form of a hand gun, a conduit is provided through which a bar 15 of melting adhesive can be G fed. A rear inlet The end portion of the body of the chamber 8 provides an adjacent inlet opening 22, in which an inlet seal member 6 is mounted. and in the form of a tubular sleeve element or guide tube 17, which functions to guide the bar 15 through the inlet opening 22 within the fusion housing chamber 20. As seen in Figure 1, An elongated fusion housing chamber 20 is provided with a first portion 23 starting at the inlet opening 22 and a second portion 25 terminating the outlet opening 24. The camera body 8 for example, can be made of aluminum. The housing 3 can, for example, be made of plastic.

The camera body 8 provides a hole 28 to contain a heating means for heating the thermoplastic material in the ale j di '? rt "aiasia, in the form of an electric heating element 30 connected by cables 46 and 47, as shown in Figure 6, to the thermostat 34 and to a source of The thermostat is controlled by a thermostat unit 34 to control the heater 30 to maintain the temperature < ii p-material in the fusion housing chamber 20 at a desired level A third cable 45 extends from the thermostat 34 to a power source also During the operation of the illustrative apparatus, the adhesive material or other thermoplastic material of the bar 15 is sufficiently soft by the time it reaches the region 25 so that it is easily deformed as it progresses through and through. more a of the region 25.

FUSING ACCOMMODATION: Features General Now with reference to tiguian 2 and subsequent, the center of this invention is > < i i va »what is the housing chamber body of fusiSn 3? I ñaña 20 and its disposition. It is manufactured from a thermally conductive, lightweight material and is generally longer than the overall length in its height or width. Within the melting housing body 8 is located the centrally located cavity substantially in the form of a "melt chamber" or "melting chamber" 20. At one end of the melt chamber 20 has an "entry opening" indicated generally at "> 2 1 -» - ^ 'al may be either an integral feature of the fusion housing or a separate part, which has been joined or joined by any means to ensure that there is no leakage
• 'i 1- r.? L - "- to union during the operation In the t ... xt. -' .. or í. Al- am-r.-o of fusion there is an" exit opening ", generally indicated at 27 which, in a preferred embodiment is an integral part of the fusion housing but may also be a separate part as shown and which is joined or joined by any means to ensure adequate heat transfer without leakage of the material In Figures 2 and 3 the outlet opening 27 has been shown as non-integral to the body of the melting housing 8 for illustrative purposes.Three characteristics, namely the chamber 20, the inlet opening 22 and the outlet opening 27 substantially it shares the same longitudinal centerline or what is also referred to as a "melt axis" or "fusion axis" 31 (shown in Figures 1 and 2.) Integrally part of the fusion housing 8 and projecting within of the melting chamber 20 there is a plurality of fusing blades n 33 and 35 (best shown in Figure 3). The thermoplastic materials are introduced into the fusion housing - by means of externally applied force means - in the usual way through some attached feature or means known as an "inlet tube" or "feed tube :." such as feeding tube 17 and inside and through. Inlet 22. The materials then pass into and through the melting chamber 20 where they are heated and homogenized by the melting blades 33 and 35 in a more uniform consistency. It is not a critical feature that the shape of the cross section (exclusive of blade characteristics) of the fusing chamber resembles the perimeter of the cross section of the material or materials, that is, the bar that is melted. Two examples of cross-sectional shapes are shown: "round" in Figure 4, for example and "angular" in Figures 8 and 9. The molten material or materials that leaves the melting chamber and pass in and through the outlet opening 27. The exit opening usually has some means 13 (seen in figures' .. and 2) to attach or integrally insert some form of check valve or nozzle valve 18 to minimize any undesirable leakage amount of the molten material, when its flow has been interrupted by a decrease or cessation of the force applied externally. The melting housing body 8 is attached to it, as by screws or the like, a thermostatic assembly 34 mounted on the surface, a narrow tolerance cavity 28 for an insertion type of the heating device 30 and an integral feature mentioned in FIG. present as a temperature reference point 37 located on an external surface from the outlet opening 27 and consisting of a threaded and / or unthreaded indentation for the express purpose of inserting, attaching or attaching a measurement of temperature. This last feature is intended to provide a common reference point in manufacturing, calibration, field service diagnostics, repair and maintenance of the units of the invention. FUSING HOUSING: "Fusion Blades" Intt.gr aimente part of the fusion housing 8 are a plurality of fusing blades 33 and 35, which project from the interior wall or walls of the physiological housing chamber 20 These blades are designed to progressively and traditionally cut into and melt the material. 1 a ..... >; 3 ..; - p? ¡EG that has been advanced ati (-? Of the entrance opening.There are at least two general types of blades used: One or two "primary blades" 33L, 33R (L = left and R = right) (see
Figures 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13) which are attached to the inner wall of the fusion chamber more
_ '; , '- "and the heating source 30 and which are the longest blades (length) to be found inside the fusion chamber, and one or two" blades "
-..-: ldii "35 which are shorter er_Ir.girud and located (in a preferred orientation) generally parallel to the blade or primary blades and in the most preferred mode are projected from the interior wall DGS" jsta: -; The fusion chamber is more adjacent to it. i.o temperature control or thermostatic 34. (See Figures ID and 11). There may be one or more "tertiary blades" 39L, 39R which are shorter in length than either the primary or secondary blades. Figures 10 11 and 12. All the blades first project into the melting chamber from the locations mentioned as "first acuity points". See Figures 3, 10 and 11. The first or first acuity points 33a of the primary blade or blades 33 are in longitudinal proximity closest to the entry opening, while the first acuity point or points 35a of the secondary blades 35 are substantially more separated from the tr ^ t '-. of entry. If the tertiary blades are used, then their points of sharpness 39a could be more distant from the entrance opening than either of those of the primary or secondary blades. The differences er. the longitudinal placement of sharpness points are referred to herein as "stepped blade" or "longitudinal scaling" and can be seen in Figure 3 and best illustrated in Figures 10 and 11. FUSING ACCOMMODATION: Values / Preferred Limits of Blade Geometry The most important features in the design of li '- "." Hi. The general fusion are: "that no more than two melting blades will run at the same georretry, or if more than two melting blades have substantially similar geometry, no more than two points of sharpness are longitudinally equidistant from the entrance opening. This "longitudinal staggering" of the blades is important, because it allows a more sequentialized melting process, especially during the conditions of constant output when new, relatively harder and colder material is being forced into and through the melting chamber. The benefit of this provision is that less force is required and decreases the "stall effect".
(b) At least one blade must intersect, bisect and / n < > 't - -nd' - 'j;: < - more cilla of the axis of the central line length i ía 1 11? < > the fusion camera. This is critical due to the fact that the most central portion of the thermoplastic material is both penetrated and bifurcated by a brave blade. (C) The thickness of the most preferred blade is approximately one tenth (1/10). ) of the average diameter of the thermoplastic material and the space between the blades is also the same approximate value. (d) The maximum height of the central blade must be equal to or greater than 1/2 the distance between any of two opposite inner walls (exclusive of the same blades! of the fusion chamber. (e) L? ¡cuchi 1 Iri do not connect or intersect with each other in H i I l 'l ^ ntrr of the fusion chamber, but remain their; The 1st nient < j bitch Wounds to each other The dimensional geometry of the fusion housing of the invention and its integral features are substantially based on the geometry of the material being melted. the prior art deiine this materi as a ha i i a < In general cylindrical form, it is not intended that this description limit its scope by that form alone and any reference to the material of cylindrical shape is intended for illustrative purposes only.

FUSION ACCOMMODATION; Characteristics of the Entrance Opening The main unit of the entrance aperture 22 is to provide a means of location or retention area for the entry t-ibo and associated seals (if required).
The size of the internal cross section and the shape of the inlet port is shown as illustrative in the Figures and should be slightly larger than but substantially similar to the perimeter of the cross section of the material or materials of thermoplastic bar are melted and supplied by means of the invention. The input can be either integral to the housing or it can be a separate part which is attached to the fusion housing. The main advantages of having the integral entry opening to the fusion housing are in reduced inventory, assembly stages and that there is less chance of the molten material leaking at a junction between the two elements. However, there are two distinct advantages to having the inlet opening as a separate component, which is attached to the fusion housing: (1) It is not necessary that the inlet opening be made of the same material as the fusion housing. For example, an improvement must be stopped if the material of the opening is more than the insulating material or the fusion housing. (?) It would allow for a potential capacity of greater ease and cost effective by adapting the complete fusion assembly for the purpose of melting material, which has di férente-; shapes or profiles of cross section. As stated elsewhere, alternative embodiments of the invention may use an i)
supply of bar material having cross-sectional shapes, which are not cylindrical and may include material of polygonal cross section (ie triangular, square, pentagon L, hexagonal, etc.) or some other non-cylindrical shape.

In the case of thermoset adhesives, for example, the most preferred joining characteristics and best overall results and performance will be obtained within a certain temperature range. It is important that the method for temperature control be kept as close to that preferred application temperature range as possible.

For years, several general methods of temperature control and regulation have been used: (1) Thermostat devices or thermostatic devices; (2) Self-regulating heating devices or elements P.T.C. (- "Ce I'i ci e of Tem i atura Pos id i vo); (3) Control methods two by oi label or .le ..: r runic including thermistors and / or control of 1 and, (4), "Hybrid" systems that consist of a combination of methods.Each general method may offer different advantages or disadvantages when compared to the other methods. Aiterior technicians have only described in a general way the use of a "thermostat" or "thermostatic device", treating them essentially as generic articles, but failing: in distinguishing between different types, advantages of their specific construction, their location or their capacity to The use of thermostats is generally the oldest and thus perhaps the "most conventional" method of control of the temperature.

At the end of a period, the heated devices have thermal accuracy only after they have stabilized at their set point temperature and no material is flowing through them. In other words, "they are only accurate when they are not present." In any other way, they tend to either cool down or rapidly and take a substantial amount of time to recover the original set point temperature. they could work better in "intermittent use" applications, but the PTCs have been l '. diiiqidiu ni' 'my' iram < the use of the P r C mu ti ij i ei ai l ti ti o n t i t i n t i t i t i t i t i t i t i f th i f th i f th e States of the United States, i, i, 4, 1 icui i. i uit 1 i lt ii i ent do not give IC values as many times as they are combined with thermostats in nbric system.
