Abstract

The invention relates to an electric fluid heater (12) for use in a vehicle, having a heating element (10), wherein the heating element (10) comprises a carrier element (14) and a heat conductor layer (16) which is arranged on the carrier element (14). The heat conductor layer (16) has, in a heat conductor layer plane (18), a heat conductor path (20) which is delimited in the heat conductor layer plane (18) by at least one insulation interruption (22), wherein the heat conductor path (20) has, on an electric connection side (17) of the heat conductor layer (14), a first connection region (32) and a second connection region (34) in each of which the heat conductor path is connected in an electrically conductive manner to at least one electric connection conductor (35). The first connection region (32) and the second connection region (34) have a distance d to one another along a connection line extending in a straight line in the heat conductor layer plane (18) and the heat conductor path (20) touches and/or crosses said connection line in some sections. A first heat conductor path section (28) in the heat conductor layer plane (18) extends between the first connection region (32) and the electric connection side (17). The invention enables thermal stresses in heating operation to be reduced and the fluid heater to thus be made more durable and robust, in particular for applications with very high voltages of several hundred volts to over 1000 V and, for example, heating power of 5, 8 or 10 kW.

Abstract

In a vehicle roof system and a method for mounting such a vehicle roof system, the vehicle roof system has a front roof module and a rear roof module, wherein the front roof module has a front frame and the rear roof module has a rear frame. The rear roof module fixedly closes a rear region of a roof opening or a rear roof opening, and the front roof module can partly expose or completely close a front region of the roof opening or a front roof opening by a displaceable cover. A central strut part is arranged between the two roof modules, transversely with respect to a vehicle longitudinal axis. A reinforcing plate is foamed or bonded on the rear roof module and is connected to the front frame or to the rear frame, in particular riveted, screwed or bonded, wherein the reinforcing plate forms the central strut part.
