Abstract: The invention relates to a heating assembly (1) comprising at least one PCT element, in particular for a motor vehicle, said PCT element (2) being located between two contact sheets (3, 4), which are used to make electrical contact. According to the invention, the heating assembly (1) comprises a frame (7) and at least one of the two contact outside the frame (7), said staggered section of the projecting part (10) of the contact sheet (3) running parallel with the remaining part (11) of said sheet (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical heating arrangement, especially for a motor vehicle, said arrangement comprising an air channel housing (20) through which air to be heated flows as required, and an electrical heating clement (2) which is arranged in the air channel housing (20). The invention is characterised in that the electrical heating element (2) is arranged directly in the air channel housing (20).

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical heating device, especially for motor vehicles, comprising a closed frame (2) consisting of rails (3, 4) and cross rails (5, 6), heating elements (7) consisting of electrically conductive plastic layers (18) having PCT effect, which are arranged between contact plates (15, 16), heat-conducting secondary surface elements (8) that can be overflown by air and at least one electrically conductive spring element (9), wherein the heating elements (7) and the secondary surface elements (8) are alternatingly arranged next to one another and are braced against each other by means of the rails (3, 4) and a spring element (9) placed centrally which replaces the secondary surface element (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a heating assembly comprising at least one PTC element, in particular for a motor vehicle. According to the invention, the PTC element (2) is positioned between metal sheets (3, 4), which are used to make electrical contact, said sheets (3, 4) and the PTC element (2) are bonded by means of an adhesive (5) and the adhesive (5) has a minimum specific electrical resistance of 50 ohms×cm and a maximum specific electrical resistance of 500 ohms×cm. In addition, solder can be used as an alternative to the adhesive (5).

Abstract: A heating unit having a PTC element, in particular for a motor vehicle, with corrugated fins (6) arranged around the PTC element (2) for improved transfer of heat to air flowing through the heating unit. The heating unit has a plastic frame (7) which is of two-part design.

Abstract: A device for exchanging heat for motor vehicles, having at least one first component connected to an electrical power supply and whose temperature varies dependent on current flowing through the component, at least one second component including at least one first and at least one second part element each of which are at least indirectly conductively connected to the first component, wherein at least one part element includes a first connecting means and at least one electrical contact means which is at least indirectly conductively connected to at least one part element of at least one second component and serves to connect an electrical power supply wherein the contact means includes at least one second connecting means.

Abstract: A plug arrangement (8) for a heating unit having at least one PTC element, in particular for a motor vehicle. The PTC element (2) is arranged between contact plates (3, 4) which serve for the electrical connection, and one contact plate (3) is designed at one of its ends as a plug (5) which has a hollow-cylindrical shape.
