Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018041787A1] The invention relates to an electric heater (1) for heating fluid streams with a heating element (2) and a control device (3) for controlling a heat output produced by the heating element (2), wherein the heating element (2) has an inductance (L_RHK) that changes on the basis of the temperature, and wherein an overheating detection device (4) is provided that is configured to sense a change in the current (Iheat) flowing through the heating element (2) caused by a change in the inductance (L_RHK) and to compare said sensed change with a previously defined limit value and to determine overheating in the electric heater (1) in the event of the limit value being exceeded. The invention further relates to a method for detecting overheating in such an electric heater (1).
