  • HEATING DEVICE FOR HEATING AN AIR FLOW IN A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20220402335
    Abstract: A heating device for heating an airflow in a motor vehicle is described, with a plurality of heating rods, which have connection plates made of aluminium, or an aluminium-based alloy, and a circuit board, which carries a control circuit, to which the heating rods are connected by way of busbars. In accordance with this disclosure, provision is made for the busbars to have a body made of aluminium, or an aluminium-based alloy, which establishes contact with the heating rods by means of a welded connection, and an end piece made of copper, or a copper-based alloy, which establishes contact with the circuit board by means of a plug-in connector.

  • Heating device
    Patent number: 11317477
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heating device comprising a plate-shaped ceramic PTC resistor having a thickness, a front side, a back side and narrow sides, wherein the distance from the front side to the back side equals the thickness, and a first contact element and a second contact element, which are electrically contacting the PTC resistor. The PTC resistor is electrically contacted by the contact elements on opposite narrow sides.
