ISOTAN®合金在医用呼吸机中的大放光彩

Isabellenhütte meets highcovid-19-related demand in record time

Isabellenhütte的合金产品在新冠病毒期间满足了医用呼吸机的大量需求！

Heat conductors of ISOTAN® for ventilators

ISOTAN®合金在医用呼吸机中的导热体

Isabellenhütte, a specialist for precision alloys, supplies the alloy ISOTAN® as a heat conductor for ventilators. When demand for ventilators shot up as a result of the recent developments related to the coronavirus, Isabellenhütte put their rapid and reliable supply performance to the test.

精密合金专家Isabellenhütte为医用呼吸机提供ISOTAN®合金作为其导热体。由于全球新冠病毒的爆发导致对呼吸机需求大量激增时，Isabellenhütte测试并提供了高效可靠的产品。

This is a project organized by the federal government in which Isabellenhütte acts as a supplier to a reputable cable manufacturer. This cooperation had already been established for several years, but the project gained new significance in the context of coronavirus developments.

该项目是由德国联邦政府组织的，Isabellenhütte担任了其中某知名线缆制造商的供应商。强强联合的这种合作关系已经建立多年，但是该项目在新冠病毒爆发的背景下具有新的意义。

Increased demand of 1,000 percent

需求增长了1000％

While 40 kilograms ofISOTAN® were still ordered from Isabellenhütte as the usual annual quantities in February 2020, the cable manufacturer had to put in a subsequent order for a further 400 kilograms in late March. A special challenge, which Isabellenhüttetackled head-on, as Dora Kosiarska, Area Sales Manager for Alloys at Isabellenhütte, explains: “We knew right away how important and urgent this issue was, and wanted to make our contribution. Because we produce our alloys at the primary site in Dillenburg and had enough raw materials, we could move straight to implementation. We created extra capacity so that we could meet the increased demand within only two days. It was, therefore, possible for the customer to start with their own cable production immediately.” The normal delivery times for wires such as ISOTAN® are typically several weeks at Isabellenhütte.

按照往年常规年度订购量作为参考，2020年2月Isabellenhütte交货了40千克ISOTAN®，但由于其需求的增加，该知名电缆制造商不得不在3月下旬再次订购400千克该合金产品。面对这个特殊的挑战，Isabellenhütte的合金区域销售经理Dora Kosiarska女士解释到：“我们得知该问题的重要性和紧迫性，并希望做出力所能及的贡献。由于我们在德国迪伦堡的工厂内生产此合金，并且有足够的原材料，所以是可以直接实施生产的。我们增加了额外的产能，因此能够在两天内完成增长的需求，并且客户可以立即开启自己的电缆产线。”在Isabellenhütte，ISOTAN®等其它合金的正常交货时间通常为数周。

Heat conductors warm the breathing gas

加热呼吸气体的导热体

ISOTAN® serves to condition the breathing gas in the ventilator cable. The heat conductor ensures that the supplied breathing gas is warmed to body temperature before it reaches the patient. If the temperature is too low, there is a risk of hypothermia and lung damage.

ISOTAN®用于调节呼吸机电缆中气体的温度。导热体可将所输送的呼吸气体在到达患者体内之前被加热到体温。如果温度太低，则存在患者体温过低和肺部受损的风险。

Long lifecycle and dependable

产品生命周期长且可靠

ISOTAN® is a typical heat conductor used in potentiometers or heating pads, for example, those used in-floor heating systems. It features low-temperature coefficients of electrical resistance for a very large range of temperatures, i.e. it reacts to changes in resistance with only very low changes in temperatures (in special quality +/-10 ppm per Kelvin). In addition, ISOTAN® is oxidation and corrosion-resistant and thus has a very long lifecycle and is robust to outside effects. In medical technology, reliability and a long lifecycle are central material requirements in view of the demands placed on the cables.

ISOTAN®合金是电位器或加热垫使用中中典型的导热体，例如常见的地板加热系统中使用的导热体。它在很大的温度范围内都具有较低的电阻温度系数，即它可在很小的温度变化下就对电阻变化做出反应（特殊质量+/- 10 ppm / Kelvin）。此外，ISOTAN®合金具有抗氧化和抗腐蚀的性能，因此其使用寿命非常长，并且具有较强的抵抗外界影响能力。在医疗技术领域中，可靠性和长生命周期是对电缆材料的主要考量因素。

ISOTAN®issupplied as a round wire which is then further processed and sheathed by the cable manufacturer.
