Abstract:
An electric heating device includes a housing having a partition wall which separates a connection chamber from a heating chamber for dissipating heat and from which at least one receiving pocket, protruding into the heating chamber as a heating rib tapering towards its lower, closed end protrudes. A PTC heating element includes at least one PTC element and conductor tracks for energizing the PTC element with different polarities. The conductor tracks are electrically conductively connected to the PTC element and are electrically connected in the connection chamber. A pressure element is received which holds heat extraction surfaces of the PTC element abutted against oppositely disposed inner surfaces of the receiving pocket. The pressure element includes a sheet metal strip which, by punching and bending, forms spring segments protruding from the plane of the sheet metal strip. The spring elements are provided in a planar manner distributed over a heat extraction surface of the PTC element provided adjoining the respective pressure element.

Abstract:
A cooling and retaining body for holding heating elements, in particular PTC heating elements, having a heating-element holder, in which the heating elements are mounted. The heating element holder has a plurality of circumferentially distributed accommodating regions, in each of which at least one heating element is arranged, wherein the accommodating regions are formed between an outer part and an inner part, which is arranged in the outer part, and at least the outer part has a polygonal profile with a number of corners connected by sides, wherein the accommodating regions are arranged in the corners of the polygonal profile, and the sides of the polygonal profile are deformed elastically in order to generate a clamping force which acts on the respective heating elements.
Abstract:
A heating device including: a housing having an opening and surrounding an interior space. A fan is arranged in proximity to the housing. A heating element is arranged in the housing, and a heat distribution element arranged in the housing and in proximity to the heating element. The heating element is adapted to generate heat. The heat distribution element is adapted to transfer the heat generated by the heating element to air in the interior space, and the fan is adapted to provide a flow of air through the interior space of the housing such that the air is heated. The heated air leaves the housing through the opening.
Abstract:
An electrical heating device for a motor vehicle includes a frame in which is accommodated a layer structure with corrugated-rib elements and heat generating elements. Each heat generating element includes a positional frame which forms a receptacle in which a PTC element is accommodated, and which includes contact plates abutting on two oppositely situated sides of the PTC element. The heat generating element is formed such that the receptacle is sealed and is accessible through at least one inspection channel that is accessible from the outside. The electrical heating device has a sleeve receptacle which is adapted for the sealing accommodation of a connection piece that protrudes from the heat generating element. Also disclosed is a method for the manufacture of an electrical heating device in which the sealing of the heat generating elements is checked.
Abstract:
An electrical heating device includes a frame and a layer structure arranged in the frame and comprising layers of corrugated ribs and PTC-based heat generating elements. The electrical heating device includes at least two corrugated-rib elements. The frame has two frame elements forming openings and at least one frame intermediate element arranged between them. A frame, formed solely by the frame elements, forms an accommodation space extending in the passage direction of the medium to be heated, which is appropriately formed for the accommodation of a layer structure with a level of corrugated ribs and heat generating elements. A frame, formed by the frame elements and the frame intermediate element, forms an accommodation space extending in the passage direction of the medium to be heated, which is formed for the accommodation of a layer structure with several levels of corrugated ribs and heat generating elements.
Abstract:
In the heating device, PTC heating elements arranged between current rails lying opposite each other are used, which are fed with supply current from a control electronics unit via the current rails. Metallic heating rib structures are respectively coupled to one of the current rails via an electrically insulating but thermally conducting coupling layer. The air to be heated flows through the heating rib structures which have an undulating shape. The metallic heating rib structures are electrically connected to vehicle ground and thus form a shield that eliminates emissions of electromagnetic interfering radiation without impeding the flow of air.
Abstract:
A defroster and a vehicle are provided. The defroster includes: a housing defining an air outlet; a heating device disposed in the housing; an air blower defining a blowing outlet and disposed in the housing; and an air duct defining a duct inlet and a duct outlet, the air duct being disposed between the blowing outlet and the heating device so that air blown out from the blower outlet enters the air duct via the duct inlet and goes out of the air duct via the duct outlet, then passes through the heating device to exchange heat with the heating device, and is discharged out of the housing via the air outlet, wherein an area of the duct inlet is different from that of the duct outlet.
Abstract:
An electric heater for an automobile vehicle, with at least one heating element and with at least one circuit board, whereby the circuit board has at least one contact area through which an electrical connection between a heating element and a power supply can be realized. The heating element has at least one PTC-heating element, whereby the heating element can be clipped to the circuit board via a connector clip, and whereby the connector clip has two flexible extensions, which are arranged opposed to each other.
