Abstract
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a heatable media line (100), in particular for conducting and simultaneously reheating brewing water or a freshly brewed hot beverage (1) in a hot-beverage dispensing machine (1000). According to the invention, along a hose line (2), at least one heat transfer foil which homogenizes the heat transfer via the hose line surface and which is composed of a material with a thermal conductivity at 0° C. of λ>10 W/mK, preferably λ>50 W/mK, is wound onto the outside, and an electrical heating medium is applied to the heat transfer foil, which electrical heating medium serves for heating the hose line surface.
Claims15
A method for manufacturing a heatable media line, wherein the method comprises:
- providing a coating made of a polymer on an outside of at least one heat transfer foil, wherein the at least one heat transfer foil is made of a material having a thermal conductivity at 0° C. of λ>10 W/mK;
- applying an electric heating medium to the at least one heat transfer foil, wherein the applying comprises heating of the electric heating medium to cause melting of the polymer;
- and
- winding the at least one heat transfer foil along an outside of a hose line, for evening out a transfer of heat over a hose line surface of the hose line, wherein the electric heating medium is for heating the hose line surface.
