Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a multi-stage electric heater consisting of a plurality of heating elements, wherein the power converted in each heating element is maintained at a preset value by controlling the electrical power consumption.
  • a method for controlling an electric heater consisting of at least two heating resistors and a control unit.
  • a setpoint temperature in a cell to be heated is compared with an actual temperature, at regulators of the heating resistors are given by means of a control circuit pulse-shaped time-shifted currents, and the duration of the pulses is adjusted depending on the difference of the temperatures.
  • a multi-stage electric heater for example a heater with positive resistance temperature coefficient PTC, consists of several individual elements, which are often referred to as heating elements and are electrically connected in parallel. Each heating element in turn may consist of several sub-elements, that is, individual PTC bricks.
  • Each individual heating element can be switched on or off via an example electronically formed switch.
  • the electrical resistance R H of the heating elements is subject to production due to large variations. As a result, the power dissipated by the heating elements differs to the same extent.
  • complex measures such as matching or sorting, required to comply with the required for the operating point electrical resistance R H of the individual heating elements.
  • a heater composed of a plurality of heating elements can satisfy the requirement for a defined total power
  • the heating power of the individual heating elements may be different. This leads due to the usually delivered over a larger area heat output to a temperature stratification of the exiting the heating air flow.
  • the heated air has noticeable temperature differences across the exit surface. This is undesirable, for example, in heating or air conditioning systems, since it leads to irregularities in the temperature of the heated room, for example, a vehicle interior. It follows that all individual heating elements of a heater should implement or deliver the same power.
  • the object underlying the invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned above, is ensured by the fact that even if the individual heating elements have scattering resistance values, all the heating elements implement the same power or deliver.
  • each heating element is kept at a preset value P HSoll by controlling the electrical power consumption.
  • P Hsetpoint / n This default value can be variable, so that the power output of the heater is adjustable.
  • the voltage at the heating element for example, by clocking the operating voltage, in particular by pulse width modulation and thereby the power consumption of Heating element to the required value P H reduced.
  • the power consumption of the heating element is determined by measuring the applied voltage and the absorbed current.
  • the inventive method has the advantage that despite the variations in the resistance of the heating elements required at the operating point rated power can be met, the exiting air flow everywhere has the same temperature, that is, no temperature stratification occur, and significantly reduces the sorting cost of the heating elements in terms of their electrical resistance becomes what greatly reduces or even avoids the committee. Depending on the scattering range, sorting can even be completely eliminated. Separated individual heating elements can also be used in heaters with other rated power.
