Abstract:
1. An infrared heating panel, comprising: an electrically insulative planar substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface; a plurality of infrared heating elements carried by the substrate, each heating element comprising a first power bus attached to the first surface of the substrate and electrically connected with each of the first segments of the heating elements; and a second power bus attached to the second surface of the substrate opposite from and in a parallel arrangement with the first power bus, the second power bus electrically connected with each of the second segments of the heating elements, wherein the first power bus is electrically coupled to the first segments proximate a midpoint of each of the first segments, and wherein the second power bus is electrically coupled to the second segments proximate a midpoint of each of the second segments such that the first and the second segments of each heating element combine to form two current paths between the first and the second power buses.
