Electric heating device

An electric heating device, comprising:

• a heating volume through which a flow path of a fluid extends;
• at least two heating modules arranged in the heating volume, the at least two heating modules extending in a longitudinal direction and disposed spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction;
• the at least two heating modules each including at least one electrical heating element which generates heat when electrically supplied such that the respective heating module heats the fluid;
• the at least two heating modules each further including an electrically conductive outer shell;
• an electrically conductive control housing delimiting a control volume;
• a power electronics for electrically supplying the at least two heating modules, the power electronics arranged in the control volume;
• the control housing having a bottom which delimits the heating volume;
• the bottom including a plurality of passage openings for the at least two heating modules, each of the at least two heating modules extending through an associated passage opening of the plurality of passage openings into the control volume in the longitudinal direction;
• the at least two heating modules, in the control volume, electrically connected to the power electronics;
• an electrically conductive conductor arrangement electrically connecting the outer shell of each of the at least two heating modules to the control housing;
• the conductor arrangement including an intermediate part resting against the bottom and electrically connected to the bottom and to the outer shells of each of the at least two heating modules;
• the intermediate part including a plurality of arrangement openings, the outer shell of each of the at least two heating modules extending through an associated arrangement opening of the plurality of arrangement openings in the longitudinal direction;
• the conductor arrangement further including, on a side of the intermediate part averted from the bottom, a cover covering the intermediate part;
• the intermediate part further including at least one closure bend projecting in a direction of the cover;
• the cover including at least one cover opening for the at least one closure bend;
• and
• wherein the at least one closure bend extends through the at least one cover opening and engages with the cover to form a form closure.
