The invention relates to an electrical heating device () for a motor vehicle with a heating resistor designed as a conductor track () on a substrate (), wherein the conductor track is at least partially arranged in a bifilar format. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle having such an electrical heating system.

Electrical heating system for a motor vehicle

An apparatus for a heating device for a vehicle comprises a layer stack which, in a stacking direction, has a heating conductor layer, an electrically conductive layer which forms a contact region, wherein a contour in a projection in the stacking direction of the electrically conductive layer is prespecified, in order to prevent a hotspot on the electrically conductive layer, by at least one of a prespecified width of a front side of the electrically conductive layer which faces a central region of the heating conductor layer, a prespecified distance from a joint of the heating conductor layer, and a prespecified curvature of the contour.

Apparatus for a heating device for a vehicle

A vehicle heater () comprises a main body () carrying a non-intrinsically safe heat conductor layer (), and a temperature monitoring device () assigned to the heat conductor layer (). The temperature monitoring device () is designed to distinguish and to report at least the three following states: normal operation, reversible malfunction and irreversible malfunction. Moreover, a method for monitoring a vehicle heater () is suggested in which the following states are distinguished and reported: normal operation, reversible malfunction and irreversible malfunction.

Vehicle heater and method for monitoring a vehicle heater

A vehicle heater comprises a main body carrying a non-intrinsically safe heat conductor layer, and a sensor device allocated to the heat conductor layer and provided to detect an exceedance of a temperature threshold value. The sensor device comprises a sensor layer arranged on the side of the heat conductor layer facing away from the main body which is monitored for current flows which may occur substantially in the direction of its surface normal. In a method for producing a vehicle heater a main body of the vehicle heater is equipped with a non-intrinsically safe heat conductor, and a sensor device for detecting exceedances of a temperature threshold value. A sensor layer provided to be monitored for current flows which may occur substantially in the direction of the surface normal of the sensor layer is allocated to the heat conductor layer on its side facing away from the main body to form the sensor device.

Vehicle heater and method for producing a vehicle heater

The invention relates to a heating device () for a vehicle, comprising: a flow path () for a liquid heat transfer agent; an electric heating device () for generating heat and for releasing generated heat to the heat transfer agent on a heating portion () of the flow path; and an electronic controller () for controlling a heat output of the heating device. The controller () is provided with a heat releasing body in order to release waste heat of the controller () to the heat transfer agent on a preheating portion () of the flow path upstream of the heating portion (). The invention likewise relates to a method for cooling the controller.
