Abstract

An electric heater (1) for a vehicle, adapted to heat a liquid crossing said heater, comprising a body (2) made of die-cast metal material; at least one electrical resistor (3) at least partially incorporated along a first median plane (X) of said body (2); side of the heater; a first flow path (4) for the liquid, from the inlet section (10) to the outlet section (11), made on a first face of said body (2) arranged at a first side of said first median plane (X); a second flow path (5) for the liquid, from said inlet section (10) to said outlet section (11), made on a second face of said body (2) arranged at a second side of said first median plane (X) opposite the first side; wherein the first flow path (4) and the second flow path (5) are arranged symmetrically both with respect to said first median plane (X) and to a second median plane (Y) of the body (2) perpendicular to said first median plane (X).

An electric heater for a vehicle, adapted to heat a liquid crossing said heater, comprising

a body made of die-cast metal material;
at least one electrical resistor at least partially incorporated into the body along a first median plane of said body;
an inlet section and an outlet section for the liquid, both arranged on a same side of the heater;
a first flow path for the liquid, from the inlet section to the outlet section made on a first face of said body arranged at a first side of said first median plane;
a second flow path for the liquid, from said inlet section to said outlet section made on a second face of said body arranged at a second side of said first median plane opposite the first side;
wherein the first flow path and the second flow path which include said inlet section and said outlet section, are arranged symmetrically both with respect to said first median plane and with respect to a second median plane of the body perpendicular to said first median plane.
