Electromagnetic wave reducing heater
A heater with reduced electromagnetic wave emissions, comprising two heating elements separated by an insulating layer and receiving opposite-phase alternating current in a way that cancels out electromagnetic wave emissions.
1. A heater, comprising:
a plurality of heating elements comprising:
a first heating element configured to generate heat based on a first current;
a second heating element configured to generate heat based on a second current;
at least one insulation layer between at least some of the plurality of heating elements;
wherein the first current has an opposite phase to the second current such that electromagnetic emissions coming from the first heating element are opposite in phase from the electromagnetic emissions coming from the second heating element; and
wherein the first heating element and the second heating element are coupled to first electrodes and second electrodes, wherein the first electrodes and the second electrodes comprise metal foil having a first thickness that is less than a second thickness of the at least one insulation layer, and are located at a relative position and distance with respect to each other such that the electromagnetic emissions coming from the first heating element and first electrodes are cancelled out by the electromagnetic emissions coming from the second heating element and second electrodes.
2. The heater of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of heating elements comprises planar heating elements.
3. The heater of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of heating elements is made of metal.
4. The heater of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of heating elements is made of a material impregnated with carbon particles.
5. The heater of claim 1 , wherein the first electrodes are coupled to poles of the first heating element, and wherein the second electrodes are coupled to poles of the second heating element.
