Heating arrangement
A heating arrangement has a coolant housing with an inflow connection and an outflow connection for a coolant. Heating elements are arranged on opposite housing walls and include connections for the supply of power. Three circuit-board pieces of a circuit board are arranged in a row and connected to one another via flexible regions. Power electronic components and connections for connecting to the power-supply connections of the heating elements are arranged on the two edge circuit-board pieces. The circuit board is bent in flexible regions such that the two edge circuit-board pieces lie opposite one another. The coolant housing lies between the opposite edge circuit-board pieces. The power-supply connections of the heating elements and the connections on the edge circuit-board pieces are in electrical contact.
1. A heating arrangement, comprising:
a coolant housing having an inflow connection and an outflow connection for a coolant;
heating elements arranged on at least two opposite housing walls of said coolant housing, said heating elements having power supply connections;
a circuit board with at least three circuit board pieces, said circuit-board pieces being disposed in a row and being connected to one another via flexible regions, said circuit board pieces including two edge circuit-board pieces carrying power electronic components and connections for connecting to said power-supply connections of said heating elements;
said circuit board being bent at said flexible regions to arrange said two edge circuit-board pieces to lie opposite one another; and
wherein said coolant housing is disposed between said edge circuit-board pieces, and wherein said power-supply connections of said heating elements and said connections on said edge circuit-board pieces are in electrical contact with one another.
2. The heating arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said at least three circuit-board pieces include a central circuit-board piece carrying a logic circuit on said central circuit-board piece.
3. The heating arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said heating elements are heating rods.
4. The heating arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said heating elements are formed by spray-applied resistive meanders.
