Abstract
A resistive heater comprises at least one heater chamber defined by walls, two of which are constituted by parallel conductive plates spaced apart by a selected distance. The chamber also has an inlet for introducing a fluid close to a first end of the plates and an outlet placed close to a second end of the plates, opposite from the first, for collecting the fluid after it has flowed between the plates, parallel thereto, and devices are provided to power the plates with electricity so that the fluid is heated in the chamber by the resistive effect while it is flowing parallel to the plates.
