Described is a heating plate having a substrate made of metal, a heating layer and an insulation layer which is arranged between the heating layer and the substrate. It is provided according to this disclosure that the insulation layer bears an electrically conductive shielding layer and that the shielding layer is covered by a second insulation layer on which the heating layer lies. In addition, a flow heater having such a heating plate is disclosed.

The invention relates to a corona ignition device, comprising a center electrode, an insulator surrounding the center electrode, a coil, which is connected to the center electrode, and a housing pipe, in which the coil is arranged. The housing pipe comprises a substrate layer and a conducting layer arranged radially inwardly of the substrate layer. The conducting layer is made of a material having a greater electrical conductivity than the material of the substrate layer. The conducting layer has a thickness of at least 0.1 mm. Also disclosed is a method for producing a corona ignition device, in which, to produce the housing pipe, an inner pipe is inserted into an outer pipe. The invention also relates to a corona ignition device of which the coil is surrounded by a soft-magnetic shielding.

The description discloses a glow plug system for a Diesel engine of a motor vehicle having a glow plug (RG, RG) which comprises a positive terminal for connecting a supply voltage (U) and a ground terminal for connecting to a ground potential (GND), a controlling device () for controlling the electric power supplied to the glow plug (RG, RG) in operation, whereby the controlling device () comprises a measurement input (ADC) and a ground input (ADC) in order to determine, in operation, a measured value of the supply voltage (U) in relation to a reference potential (GND') applied to the ground input (ADC). The controlling device () has a test input (ADC) which, in operation, is connected to a test voltage source via a first resistor (R) and to the positive terminal of the glow plug (RG, RG) via a second resistor (R), whereby the controlling device (), in operation, determines a difference of the electric potential of the test input (ADC) and the electric potential (GND&#x2032;) of the ground input (ADC), determines a deviation of the difference of these potentials from a reference value and, if this deviation is unequal to zero, uses the deviation to correct the measured value of the supply voltage (U) and uses the corrected value of the supply voltage (U) as for controlling the power. Furthermore, the description discloses a controlling device for a glow plug system of this type and a method for controlling the power of a glow plug.
