Abstract:
1. A method of assembling a heater system comprising the steps of: (a) forming a dielectric layer as a part of a layered heater; (b) forming a plurality of insulative pads on the dielectric layer; (c) forming a resistive layer over the insulative pads; (d) thermally treating at least one of a target part defining a room temperature outer periphery and the layered heater comprising a substrate defining a room temperature inner periphery such that the respective periphery is dimensionally altered; (e) positioning the target part within the layered heater; and (f) bringing at least one of the target part and the layered heater to room temperature, thereby causing an interference fit between the layered heater and the target part to produce in a concentric fit between the layered heater and the target part.
