  • an additional heating power is required to heat the passenger compartment as well as to quickly remove a fogging (ice or water), in particular on the windshield, due to the low waste heat supply.
  • heat exchangers which are constructed of flat tubes through which a heat transfer medium flows, which emits heat in the heating case
  • at least at the outermost tubes provide additional heating in the form of PTC heating elements, which is usually at Ceramic PTC components, which usually sets a surface temperature of between 110 and 160 ° C, regardless of the boundary conditions, such as applied voltage, nominal resistance, air flow. Due to limitations in design and geometry, the attachment or construction of an electric auxiliary heater is quite expensive. In addition, the ceramic PTC devices are relatively heavy.
