Abstract:
A pre-fabricated heatable media line having at least one pipe- and/or hose-type media line, at least one line connector located on the end of said line and at least one pre-fabricated heating element, the pre-fabricated heating element including at least two heating element portions connected in at least one circuit and at least one of the heating element portions extends over at least part of the at least one line connector and the at least one pipe- and/or hose-type media line in order to heat the at least one part of the line connector and the at least one pipe- and/or hose-type media line. In said pre-fabricated heatable media line, at least one of the heating element portions is designed as a mixed stranded wire having a number of stranded individual wires consisting of at least two different materials.
Abstract:
A multi-part line, wherein line parts are provided, at ends of said line parts, with at least one connector assembly having at least one retaining element, wherein a connector part of the connector assembly of a line part and a coupling part of the connector assembly of the adjacent line part can be or are connected by overplugging and locking the at least one retaining element. At least one insulating element is arranged in the overplugging region of the connector part of the connector assemblies that can be or are connected to each other, which insulating element is designed as an axially compressible closed ring made of a material that has low heat conduction at least in the outer region of the insulating element, which ring has an inner passage opening in order provide insulation in the overplugging regions between the connector assemblies, in which overplugging regions no heating by, for example, the engine of a vehicle or other heat sources occurs, which insulation enables economical and also effective insulation during the operation and also during the standstill of a vehicle and is protected against unintentional or inadvertent removal.
Abstract:
A prefabricated heatable media line having a media line with two connection ends, having at least one line connector which is connected to one of the connection ends of the media line, and having an electric heating element paired with the media line. A single heating element which is paired with the media line is arranged and/or formed over the longitudinal extension of the prefabricated heatable media line such that a heat input (Q1, Q2) into the media line is produced, the heat input being differentiated over the longitudinal extension of the prefabricated heatable media line, and at least two differently heated or heatable sections are produced or can be produced along the prefabricated heatable media line. When using such a prefabricated heatable media line, wherein at least one section of the prefabricated heatable media line arranged in a surrounding area which is heated or can be heated or is protected from the cold and at least one section is arranged in a surrounding area which is comparatively colder, the heating element is arranged along the heatable media line such that the at least one heatable media line section arranged in the surrounding area which is heated, can be heated, or is protected from the cold is not heated to a high degree or is heated or can be heated to a lesser degree than the at least one other medial line section. In a method for producing a heatable media line, the heatable media line is wound together with the heating element in a discontinuous manner over the longitudinal extension of the media line.
