Abstract
The paper presents our work in developing printed thick film heater elements on ceramic substrates for heating in the range of 300 – 400 oC. Two types of samples are realized and experimentally investigated. Their leakage currents are measured and their resistance to the sea mist impact is checked. The heater elements on ceramic substrates are considered promising for application in ships.
