4D DWF® Technology (please see fig. C)
This electric underblanket utilizes WELLCARE’s recent and the most
innovative technology – 4D DWF®. While this technology pioneers in the
flexible heating industry, its production process is also the state of the art.
Our physical living environment consists of three dimensions, width,
length, and depth; hence, the term “3D”. As Wellcare introduces to you
the 4D DWF® technology, the “temperature” brought to you by dynamic
flow of warmth is the definition of the fourth dimension. 4D DWF®
employs concepts of breathing system which creates full-body heat
circulation for heat to disperse evenly, thoroughly, and quickly. The heat
is generated by heating elements, builds up and gathers around several
hundred uniquely designed circular holes. Through these holes, the heat
flows bi-directionally to create a gentle heat flow and the thermal energy
can flow rapidly to warm up human bodies.
There are many benefits of this innovative technology :
• Better breathability
• Rapid heating
• Higher temperature
• Uniquely designed holes to provide 360° warmth circulation
• Greater heat distributing area
• Eective heat transmission
• Strands of warmth flow retain air moisture
• Warmth kept at a constant temperature
• Energy saving
