  • Publication number: 20130186966
    Abstract: A highly-efficient, hot-water generating, car-mounted heater with an internal liquid flow path includes a heater unit and a case. The heater unit includes a PTC element, an electrode plates, an insulating sheet, a tube body, a seal, and a radiator. The radiator is provided on the radiation faces of the tube body. The radiator has a plurality of fins, and a plurality of flow paths that are partitioned by the plurality of fins and extend in a direction that intersects with the longitudinal direction of the tube body. The heater unit is housed in the case with one ends of the flow paths of the radiator made to oppose the flow inlet and the other ends of the flow paths made to oppose the flow outlet.
