Abstract
A device for determining a temperature of a resistance heating device, the device includes: a temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of the resistance heating device; and an electronic data processing and/or control device configured to calculate a temperature change of the resistance heating device on a basis of a change in a resistance value of the resistance heating device and a relationship between the resistance value and the temperature of the resistance heating device, the electronic data processing and/or control device configured to validate the temperature of the resistance heating device detected by the temperature sensor, taking into account the calculated temperature change of the resistance heating device.
