Abstract: A heating assembly for heating a hot air stream flowing in a flow passage of a tumble dryer. The heating assembly is configured for installation in the flow passage and comprises at least one heating element and at least one temperature sensor. The heating element is arranged such that the hot air stream can flow around it in a passing direction (D). The at least one temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the hot air stream and is arranged such that it projects into a core area of the hot air stream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating assembly (1) for heating a hot air stream (6) flowing in a flow passage (29) of a tumble dryer (26), said heating assembly (1) being configured for installation in said flow passage (29) and comprising at least one heating element (5), which is arranged such that the hot air stream (6) can flow around it in a passing direction (D), and at least one temperature sensor (4) by means of which the temperature of the hot air stream (6) can be detected. In order to provide a heating assembly (1) which allows more precise temperature control to be executed, the present invention is so conceived that the at least one temperature sensor (4) is arranged such that it projects into a core area (15) of the hot air stream (6).
