Heat generating concrete

The Voltocrete heating system is a silicate based material which can generate heat by itself, without any fluid circulating piping or electrical heating cables. The heat generation is provided by micro voltage thus it has an appropriate safety on human health. Worthy of note that it can function by AC or DC, it is depends on demands. Its novelty and uniqueness also based on the following fact. It can combine the role of the load bearing structure and the building energy engineering system, maybe a surface finishing layer if it is necessary. It has a complex heat transfer method. Besides the conventional thermal conduction (and convection) it provides significant energy by infrared radiation because of its material structure and deep black color. The material offers considerable freedom in terms of builting in, as, similar to fresh concrete, it can be incorporated into any shape before setting. After curing, the material is capable of accommodating drilled or cut holes without structural damage or loss of functionality. Additionally, it can withstand cracks within the structure, with electrical currents simply bypassing areas lacking material. Another advantage is that it does not contain liquid media or mechanical components, resulting in high durability and very low maintenance costs. The life cycle or service life of Voltocrete is almost equal to the load bearing structure. The fact that the material is concrete-based and combines multiple functions entails the following benefits. …
Since we only add conductivity-enhancing additives to the concrete in areas where heating should be built in and where concrete would be installed anyway (for example in a industrial floor), we only marginally increase the environmental footprint. Furthermore, this approach results in lower additional costs to the customers.
Costs can be further reduced by not requiring skilled labor for the installation of Voltocrete, unlike the complex mechanical systems needed for underfloor heating or heat pump systems. This speeds up the return on investment in the construction industry burdened by a shortage of skilled workers.
Due to its method of heat generation and structural design, Voltocrete features rapid response times and quickly heats up structures. Thanks to previous fact and to the emitted infrared waves, it enhances the comfortable feeling of warmth and can sustain this condition passively for extended periods.
Voltocrete can be used not only in residential buildings and industrial facilities to ensure optimal conditions for occupants or workers, but also in other industrial processes such as preheating pools or creating drying areas. So the application is multifunctional. through recycling.
