Abstract
Hot-air device with a heating element situated in a stream of air, with a carrier consisting of temperature-resistant material and heating wires located in the air channels, and with at least one metal mount for the carrier, wherein the temperature-resistant material of the carrier comes into at least partial electrical contact with the metal mount, and is connected to a device for interrupting the heating circuit, which, during heating, interrupts the heating circuit when a threshold value is reached owing to the measuring current discharged over the insulating material and the contact element. The direct and very quick measuring principle enables a simple and inexpensive protection of the heating element, as well as control and regulation without additional sensors. It is possible to control or regulate the hot-air temperature of the hot-air device via the measuring current.
