Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1046867A2] Heat transmission to a fluid in a microstructure body involves a primary energy carrier and a secondary fluid as medium for conducting away heat liberated in the micro-heat exchanger. The energy carrier is electrical current, which within the microstructure body (13) is converted directly into heat and then transmitted by heat conduction to the fluid (7) to be heated. The microstructure body is formed in layers and between at least one layer (11) with mciro-channels for the fluid an electrically directly or indirectly heated layer (12) is arranged. The heated layer or heating elements (9) is/are made of Fecralloy or anoth metal or a metal alloy with an oxide layer on the surface for insulation.
