Conventional heating technology is often added to a space or product as separate hardware. PURE LIQUID HEAT explores another route: integrating the heating function directly into defined surfaces and components.
LESS VISIBLE HARDWARE
Heating functionality can be integrated into panels, furniture and objects instead of added as a separate visible heater.
SURFACE-BASED HEAT
Heat is generated across a functional surface rather than only at a point-shaped heating element.
FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION
Thin functional layers allow heating concepts to follow product and design geometry more closely.
ZONED CONTROL
Defined heating zones can be controlled individually according to the application.

CONTACT A
HOMOGENEOUS ACTIVE FUNCTIONAL LAYER
CONTACT B
PURE LIQUID HEAT uses a conductive functional coating. Electrical current flows through the defined conductive layer and electrical resistance converts the supplied energy into heat.
Copper conductors, coating resistance, geometry and system control determine the thermal behaviour of the finished heating module.
The result is a thin, electrically activated heating surface that can be integrated into defined products and components.

THE DESIGN LOGIC
HEAT AS A FUNCTION OF THE SURFACE
LOW THERMAL MASS
The thin functional heating layer can react quickly compared with systems that first have to heat large masses.
DESIGN INTEGRATION
Heating functionality can disappear into panels, furniture and technical products.
FLAT HEAT DISTRIBUTION
The active layer enables surface-based heat generation across a defined module.
CONTROLLABLE ZONES
Temperature sensors, control electronics and separate zones can adapt heat delivery to the application.
The value is not a new law of physics. It is a different way of designing where and how electrical heat is delivered.

Controlled heating layer instead of an arbitrary coating
In the complete end device, PURE LIQUID HEAT is treated as a functionally and safety-relevant component. Layer thickness, resistance range, contacting geometry, conductor spacing, substrate, drying and repair limits must be defined and controlled for the series configuration.
Changes to formulation, application, contacting or safety-critical components are subject to documented change management.
Market-access boundary
External type testing and CE conformity assessment with a German accredited testing institute are planned. CE conformity assessment, IP44 device qualification and third-party certification have not yet been completed.
Series release only after completion of the required test programme, closure of safety-relevant findings, completion of the technical file and signature of the EU Declaration of Conformity.
EVIDENCE
WHAT DO WE KNOW TODAY?
BB · internally documentedINTERNAL FIELD REFERENCE
GFB panel · Portugal · winter-season operation
An internally documented GFB panel was used continuously as a heating element during a winter season in Portugal. According to the available internal observations, the approximately 90 °C surface temperature and electrical power draw remained stable during the observed operating period.
WHAT THIS MEANS
The observation provides useful practical evidence of stable operation in this specific configuration.
WHAT IT DOES NOT MEAN
It is not yet an independent long-term certification or a transferable lifetime guarantee for every PURE LIQUID HEAT system.
EVIDENCE PHILOSOPHY
VALIDATION IN PROGRESS
Defined engineering questions are part of developing a reliable heating system.
LONG-TERM STABILITY
Extended operating hours and thermal cycling.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Complete system testing including contacts, control and fault conditions.
MOISTURE & OUTDOOR EXPOSURE
Protective layers, electrical isolation and application-specific environmental testing.
SERIES REPRODUCIBILITY
Defined coating resistance, contacting, process control and quality assurance.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Voltage, current, power density, surface temperature and warm-up behaviour must be specified for each defined system configuration.
TRANSPARENT SCOPE
CAPABILITIES — AND CLEAR BOUNDARIES
WHAT THE TECHNOLOGY ENABLES
integrated electric surface heating
thin functional heating layers
individually controlled heating zones
application-dependent low-voltage architectures
integration into defined panels and products
design-oriented heating concepts
WHAT WE DO NOT CLAIM
no efficiency above 100%
no universal percentage energy saving
no universal substrate compatibility
no generic CE certification for the coating alone
no generic IP rating for all systems
no transfer of one prototype value to every application
no universal replacement for every building heating system
Electrical and regulatory assessment applies to the complete end system, not to the coating in isolation.
Depending on the final product and market, electrical safety, EMC, temperature limitation, environmental protection, fire behaviour and other requirements may need to be evaluated.
