The panel heating made of paper.

KOHPA®therm is the lightest and thinnest panel heating in the world.

0,20 mm Natural fibres and recycled carbon fibres. Nothing else.

24 % energy savings compared to conventional heating systems. Thus pioneering for the energy turnaround.

99 % Recycled material

KOHPA®therm

With a material thickness of only 0.20 mm, the lightest and thinnest panel heating available on the market consists of a mixture of natural fibre and recycled carbon fibres. In addition to its good formability, the patented material is breathable, dimensionally stable and easy to process. KOHPA® therm is characterised by the specially developed contact strips (contacting). Voltage in the low-voltage range (24-42 V) can be applied to the contacts by qualified personnel. KOHPA® therm may only be used as a surface heating in combination with the original contacting. With energy savings of up to 24 % compared to conventional heating systems, this product is groundbreaking for the energy turnaround.

Frequently asked questions

What does KOHPA® mean?

The name comes from the German words KOH for carbon fibre and PA for paper.
What is the material made of?

Made of natural and carbon fibres.
Why is the paper electrically conductive?

Carbon fibres are electrically conductive.
How is KOHPA® produced?

On a conventional type of paper machine.
How does electricity get into the paper?

Conductive contact strips for plus and minus pole are applied to the edges of KOHPA® therm.

Note: KOHPA® therm may only be used as surface heating in combination with the original contacting.
Then how does the electricity get in there?

The poles are connected to a transformer or switching network in a technically correct manner.
What voltage can be fed in?

24 V to 42 V in the non-hazardous low-voltage range (DC voltage).
How is the heat generated then?

The electrons of the electric current reach the carbon fibres via the contact strips on the sides. So it gets warm in a matter of seconds.
What surface temperature can be achieved?

Infrared heat of 35 °C is achieved - this means about 15 °C above room temperature.
What is infrared heating?

The heat coming from KOHPA® therm can be compared to the heat of the sun's rays.
What lead time does the heating need until the heat is noticeable?

Seconds!
How does KOHPA® therm perform compared to conventional heating?

KOHPA® therm as infrared heating creates a feel-good climate, which achieves the same effect as convection heating at a 2-3°C lower room temperature. A reduction of 1°C in room temperature saves 6% in heating costs.
What is the overall cost structure compared to conventional heating?

Low investment costs, no maintenance costs, no wear and tear, no holding of resources.
How high is the energy consumption?

The surface power is 150 W/m²
Can KOHPA® therm be used together with a photovoltaic system?

Yes! KOHPA® therm is powered by electricity. This makes self-sufficient heating possible.
What is the advantage for house dust allergy sufferers during heating with KOHPA® therm?

Compared to conventional radiators, KOHPA® therm does not create any dust turbulence.
How is KOHPA® therm installed?

KOHPA® therm can only be installed by qualified personnel.
