Estimating the term…
The invention refers to a vehicular fluid heater (3), in particular to an automotive water heater. The vehicular fluid heater (3) comprises at least one heat exchanger (8) and at least one electrically operated heating unit (9), the heat exchanger (8) comprising at least one thermally conductive body defining at least one fluid channel for the fluid to be heated and sealing covers (16a, 16b) sealing the front and rear ends of the thermally conductive body, at least one cover (16a) having an inlet and/or outlet for establishing fluid flow, the heating unit (9) being joint to a heat-conductive surface of the thermally conductive body. The sealing covers (16a, 16b) are made from a pressure deformable material and are held in position by a housing and closing the fluid heater (FIG. 3).
