PTC thermistors also heat windscreen washer nozzlesto prevent them from being clogged up by washing liquid thatfreezes at extreme outdoor temperatures.
In engines of low cubiccapacity with aluminium engine blocks, the crankcase vents andoil ducts must be heated at low temperatures and during extremelyshort journeys to prevent condensed water from freezing.
For thisapplication, Epcos offers the B59041Rxxx and B59060Axxx series.PTC thermistors can also be found in the heat exchangers of carair conditioning systems.
After cold starting, they heat up theinterior of the vehicle until the engine generates enough heat.As well as being economical and capable of being made invirtually any shape, PTC thermistors offer two decisiveadvantages: they are self-regulating and do not have any partsthat glow during operation.
