Thin layered heating element for a fluid pump

A fluid pump comprising:

• a fluid pump casing having a cylindrical body portion;
• a pump chamber inside the fluid pump casing and defined by an outer wall, a bottom part, a top part, an inlet, and an outlet;
• a heat reflector made of metal and located on an inner wall of the cylindrical body portion of the fluid pump casing, the heat reflector protecting the fluid pump casing;
• a heating element comprising:
• a substrate made of an insulative material and comprising a first axial end and a second axial end, wherein the substrate has a cylindrical shape and forms the outer wall of the pump chamber;
• a thin layer of monocrystalline, polycrystalline, or amorphous material on the substrate;
• and
• electrical contacts being in contact with the thin layer,
• wherein the thin layer has a thickness equal to or smaller than 10 μm, and
• wherein at least the first axial end or the second axial end of the substrate comprises a region that remains uncovered by the thin layer and configured for coupling to another device,
• wherein the thin layer faces, in a radial direction, the heat reflector,
• wherein the heating element forms at least a portion of the outer wall of the pump chamber, and
• wherein the fluid pump further comprises at least one control and safety unit on a contact layer, and the contact layer is on the region that remains uncovered by the thin layer.
