  • Patent number: 12376194
    Abstract: An exhaust gas heater for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine includes a carrier arrangement through which exhaust gas can flow in the direction of an exhaust gas heater longitudinal axis. The exhaust gas heater includes at least one heating conductor supported on the carrier arrangement. The at least one heating conductor is made with bent flat material for the provision of a heating conductor profile which is meandering at least in regions thereof. The heating conductor flat end faces are opposite one another and the heating conductor broad sides are opposite one another.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240280039
    Abstract: An exhaust gas heater for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine includes a heating conductor. The heating conductor is constructed from flat material which is elongate in a heating-conductor longitudinal direction and has heating-conductor broad sides situated opposite one another in a heating-conductor thickness direction and heating-conductor flat sides situated opposite one another in a heating-conductor width direction. A plurality of formations, which follow one another in the heating-conductor longitudinal direction or/and follow one another in the heating-conductor width direction, are oriented substantially in the heating-conductor thickness direction and have varying formation heights in the heating-conductor width direction.

  • Publication number: 20230060154
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas heater for an exhaust-gas system of an internal combustion engine includes a carrier arrangement and a heating-conductor arrangement, which is carried on the carrier arrangement, and which has at least one heating conductor. The carrier arrangement includes an annular first carrier element, which surrounds an exhaust-gas-heater longitudinal axis, and a plurality of second carrier elements, which are formed separately from the first carrier element and are connected to the first carrier element in a first connecting region and to a coupling region of the heating-conductor arrangement in a second connecting region.
