Electric heating device for exhaust gas system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885530B2) discloses an electric heating device designed for use in an exhaust gas system. The device comprises an outer circumferential housing and a rib structure that can be heated in response to an electric current. The rib structure consists of multiple rib rows arranged parallel to each other within the housing, with each row containing several ribs. These rib rows are electrically connected to each other either in series or in parallel. Additionally, the device includes holding rods that pass through the rib rows to secure them in place within the housing, with widened regions in each row allowing for the passage of these holding elements.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and components of the electric heating device, such as electrically conductive connecting elements and insulating spacers located at the end regions of the rib rows. The width of each rib row can vary along the exhaust gas flow direction, and the holding elements are described as plug-in sleeves coupled together. The housing of the device may be circular, and the rib structure is positioned at an angle greater than 1 degree with respect to the longitudinal axis of an exhaust gas post-treatment component in the exhaust gas flow direction. These features aim to enhance the efficiency and performance of the electric heating device within the exhaust gas system, providing a novel solution for heating applications in such systems.
