Abstract: An electrical heating device comprises an electrical heating assembly and a control device adapted to control the electrical heating assembly and a housing base part that is adapted to accommodate the control device. The housing part is connected to a housing cover to form a housing sealed from the environment. The control device and the electrical heating assembly are accommodated in the housing to create a compact design and the best possible EMC protection.

Abstract: An electrical heating device comprises two heating chambers between which an electrical heating assembly is formed. Via a distributor a flow of a medium to be heated entering the electrical heating device in the inflow direction is divided into a first partial flow and a second partial flow. The first partial flow flows through the first heating chamber, while the second partial flow flows through the second heating chamber. For this purpose, the distributor has a distributing body, which may be configured as a conical bod that is rotationally symmetrical about an axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry may be parallel to an inlet axis. Alternatively, the distributing body can also be configured as an overflow edge.

Abstract: An electrical heating device for heating a liquid medium includes a first heating chamber, a second heating chamber, and an electrical heating assembly which is provided between the first heating chamber and the second heating chamber and which is coupled to the first heating chamber and the second heating chamber in a heat-conducting manner. In order to provide an electrical heating device which can be easily adapted to different heating powers and/or operating voltages, the first heating chamber has a first channel section, and the second heating chamber has a second channel section. The first channel section and/or the second channel section form a flow connection between the two heating chambers which passes through the plane containing the electrical heating assembly and the length of which can be varied in a direction transverse to the plane containing the electrical heating assembly.

Abstract: A PTC heating device includes a frame and a heating cell accommodated in the frame. The heating cell includes at least one PTC element made of a ceramic material and contact elements to be assigned different polarity. The PTC element has contact surfaces formed by a metallization. The contact elements are each electrically contacted with one of the contact surfaces. An insulating cured compound is arranged between the outer circumference of the heating cell and the inner circumference of the frame and fixes the heating cell in the frame. An edge, formed by the ceramic material of the PTC element, between the compound and the contact surface. Also disclosed is method of forming PTC heating device according in which the PTC element is fixed to the frame by the electrically insulating compound after the compound is cured.
