Disclosed is a cleaning device for a washing apparatus arranged in a vehicle, comprising a housing with a chamber which is formed in the housing, is configured to be filled with cleaning fluid and is hydraulically connectable to at least one spray nozzle for the cleaning fluid, and with at least one heatable heating wire protruding at least in sections into the chamber. To obtain high functional reliability even at low temperatures and to permit particularly rapid and reliable deicing, a heat-conducting element is arranged in the chamber to enlarge a heat-transferring convection surface, said heat-conducting element absorbing the heat from the heating wire, and being at least partially, and preferably completely, surrounded by the cleaning fluid.

Heated cleaning device

In a washer nozzle for a windshield washer system of a motor vehicle with a heating element held in a duct, a sealing compound for holding the heating element and a sealing element are manufactured from different materials and spaced apart from one another. Consequently, the sealing element may be manufactured from a material having poor heat conduction and the sealing compound from a material having good heat conduction. The washer nozzle has an especially long service life.

In a heating facility ( ) for a motor vehicle component to be heated, a heating element ( ) is held within a receptacle ( ) by a sealing compound ( ). The receptacle ( ) is manufactured from aluminum and can be introduced into a correspondingly formed heating well of the component. As a result, the heating facility ( ) can be mounted in a very simple way and used for heating highly diverse components.
