It is preferably applied above the heating elements, and if it is preferably applied directly to the heating elements, it should be electrically insulating.
  • This sensor layer has the abovementioned temperature-dependent properties with respect to its electrical resistance, that is to say it is a type of sensor element.
  • Particularly advantageous is formed as in the aforementioned prior art of WO 2007/136268 A1 and the DE 102013200277 A1 described with a large drop in resistance at temperatures of 200 ° C to 300 ° C, for example from about 250 ° C. These temperatures are considered critical for such heaters. If exceeded, the heater may otherwise be damaged or destroyed.
  • At least two sensor electrodes are applied to the sensor layer, advantageously in an electrode layer, specifically directly on the sensor layer. These two sensor electrodes are electrically separated from each other and, unlike the sensor layer, are not simply large in area formed, but have finger-like or winding-like and elongated sensor electrode sections. These sensor electrode sections extend at a distance of less than 2 cm from one another, advantageously less than 1 cm or even less than 0.5 cm, for example only 1 mm to 3 mm. In sections, the sensor electrode sections should have the same width or constant width. The width of two juxtaposed sensor electrode sections, ie of one of the two sensor electrodes, is advantageously less than 2 cm. Particularly advantageously, it is less than 1 cm and more than 1 mm.

  • This control device can be provided only for the temperature sensor device. Alternatively, it may be provided in a controller for the other heater or the entire electric appliance in which the heater is installed. Then, a good interaction with the operation of the heater is possible due to information or data from the temperature sensor device. However, it may also be provided a separate control device only for the temperature sensor device or only for the heater.
  • juxtaposed sensor electrode sections of the two sensor electrodes are parallel to each other.

  • Particularly advantageous alternate sensor electrode sections of the two sensor electrodes so are arranged alternately side by side.
  • the temperature sensor device it is possible to divide the temperature sensor device into a plurality of, at least two, and preferably three, detection regions.
  • the division should be such that each detection area corresponds to a heating circuit or is assigned to a heating circuit. This is advantageous in that a detection area is congruent with a heating circuit. Thus each area of each heating circuit is individually monitored for overtemperature.

This distance can also be the same distance as between two adjacent sensor electrode sections, particularly preferably it is the same.
  • the width of the sensor electrode sections of a respective sensor electrode remains the same in the region of a heating circuit. This preferably applies to exactly one heating circuit. If, in fact, all the sensor electrode sections of both sensor electrodes are of equal width, the total presence of an excess temperature can be recognized with twice the reliability of error, but localization is not possible. However, if the sensor electrode sections of the two sensor electrodes have different widths in an area over at least one heating circuit, preferably with a difference of between 10% and 500%, then even with only two sensor electrodes an overtemperature occurring can occur at least one heating circuit or one area above a heating circuit of each be assigned to several. This can be done by measuring the leakage currents or fault currents at both sensor electrodes and setting them in relation to one another.
  • the widths of the sensor electrode sections of the sensor electrodes differ significantly, for example, the width of only one 50% of the width of the other, then due to the higher surface coverage of the sensor layer at the sensor electrode with the wider sensor electrode sections and the much larger leakage current can be detected. If the widths of the sensor electrode sections are below the aforementioned 1 cm, then it is to be assumed that a region of excess temperature covers at least two adjacent sensor electrode sections and generates a fault current dependent thereon from the overlap surface. If, then, the fault current is significantly greater at one sensor electrode than at the other, the overtemperature will be present in the region of the heating device in which this sensor electrode has the wider sensor electrode sections.
  • the widths of the sensor electrode sections should differ by at least 50%, particularly advantageously by at least 100%. Then a safe distinction is possible, even if the area with the excess temperature is not equal to the two sensor electrodes or their sections is distributed.
  • the heating device may have three heating circuits.
  • the sensor electrode sections of both sensor electrodes can have the same width.
  • the sensor electrode sections of the two sensor electrodes may each have different, advantageously significantly different, widths.
  • a subdivision into even more than three areas or heating circuits is possible. At the same time, however, the good and certainty of distinctness as regards the location of the overtemperature is decreasing.
  • each sensor electrode has at least two sensor electrode sections, preferably at least three. Then, the widths of the respective sensor electrode sections are not so large, and it is ensured that an excess temperature at least two, advantageously at least three, sensor electrode sections by the increase of the fault currents.

  • a fluid to be heated in particular a liquid
  • thermally connect in which a fluid to be heated, in particular a liquid, or flows therethrough.
  • the carrier of the heating device is particularly advantageously designed as a tube and thus a container for liquid to be heated by this, so to speak permanent. It is evaporated by heating, for example for use in a steamer.
  • the heat can generally be removed very well from the heating elements of the heating circuits. Only when problems arise here or, for example, when heating water occur calcifications that worsen the decrease of heat, the aforementioned excess temperatures can occur. This is just to recognize and then to avoid the operation with such an excess temperature, otherwise a permanent damage to the heater may occur.
  • the heating circuits are advantageously separated along the longitudinal axis of the tube educated.
  • the sensor electrode sections should largely revolve around the carrier, advantageously in the manner of a sleeve, so that the largest possible area of the carrier is covered with the heating circuits or their heating elements for the best possible and uniform power input.
  • the sensor electrode sections extend to a large extent, in particular all sensor electrode sections, at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the tube.
  • the sensor electrode sections possibly also the heating elements of the heating circuits should run parallel to a water surface.
  • An overtemperature can generally be detected when a fault current at a sensor electrode increases by at least 10% to 50% or is more than 10 mA to 50 mA. Should it rise only at one sensor electrode, then there is very likely to be a fault with the other sensor electrode. This should be signaled to a user and then after a certain time, if the user does not intervene, for example, after one minute to five minutes, the heating power can be reduced or even completely shut off.
  • two protective circuits each having two resistors it is possible for two protective circuits each having two resistors to be arranged in an electrical input circuit of an evaluation for the temperature sensor device. As a result, the evaluation or a corresponding control device can be protected.
  • a high-frequency signal can be fed into one of the two sensor electrodes. This is advantageously done via a capacitive decoupling means of a capacitor or the like. The signal is then read back via the other of the two sensor electrodes by means of a control device and should correspond to the fed signal when the temperature sensor device is functioning. If a deviation of the signal shape and / or the signal level is detected by, for example, at least 5%, this is regarded as an error. Then, a signal can be output to a user and the operation of the heater can be changed, in particular, a power reduction is made, or an entire heating circuit or even the entire heater is turned off.

These fault currents ia and ib flow depending on the change in resistance of the sensor layer 32 in the overtemperature region 46. However, not only does the areal coverage of the over-temperature region 46 over the sensor electrode sections 37 count, but also the respectively existing temperature.

  • the sizes of the fault currents ia and ib can be compared with one another and the conclusion drawn in the area of which heating circuit 116 there is an excess temperature region 146. Namely, an over-temperature region 146 is again corresponding to the Fig. 2 has occurred over the right heating circuit 116a, so due to the greater width of the sensor electrode sections of the sensor electrode 134b whose affected by the overtemperature or covered area is much larger. Thus, the fault current ib will be significantly greater than the fault current ia, for example, about twice as large.
  • the fault current ia is significantly greater than the fault current ib, an over-temperature range will probably be above the left-hand heating circuit 116c.

  • the sensor electrode sections 237a and 237b run, so to speak, into two double turns via one of the heating circuits 216.
  • the free strip between two heating circuits is directly crossed by the sensor electrode sections, which in practice does not have to be rectangular, as shown here, but can also be oblique.
  • the sensor electrode sections 237a and 237b similar to the Fig. 2 and 3 , Cover substantially the entire surface of the heating circuits 216a to 216c, so can monitor for excess temperatures. This can also be made even better in terms of area.
  • the heater 211 an over-temperature range as in the Fig. 2 and 3 It could also be detected by the sensor electrode sections 237a and 237b.
  • the constant width of the sensor electrode sections 237 which is the same here in each case and which is the same for both sensor electrodes 234a and 234b, corresponds approximately to Fig. 2 Thus, it is not possible to localize an over-temperature range over one of the heating circuits.
  • the widths of the sensor electrode sections 237a and 237b extending thereabove in the region of one of the heating circuits 216a to 216c, respectively, could be determined in accordance with FIG Fig. 3 vary.
  • the sensor electrode sections 237b may be twice as wide as the sensor electrode sections 237a, over the heating circuit 216b they may be the same width, and above the heating circuit 216c, the sensor electrode sections 237a may be twice as wide as the sensor electrode sections 237b. How to Fig. 3 described, by comparing the magnitudes of the fault currents that can be detected at the sensor electrodes 234a and 234b and their sensor leads 239a and 239b, the localization of an over-temperature region again take place.
  • a distance between the sensor electrode sections 237 always be the same and, furthermore, relatively small, for example between 1 mm and 3 mm.
