COOLING AND RETAINING BODY FOR HEATING ELEMENTS HEATING APPLIANCE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COOLING AND RETAINING BODY

摘要

The invention relates to a cooling and retaining body for heating elements (10) in particular PTC heating elements having a heating element holder (11) in which the heating elements (10) are mounted. The invention is distinguished in that the heating element holder (11) has a plurality of circumferentially distributed accommodating regions (15) in each of which at least one heating element (10) is arranged wherein the accommodating regions (15) are formed between an outer part (13) and an inner part (14) which is arranged in the outer part (13) and at least the outer part (13) has a polygonal profile with a number of corners (19a) connected by sides (19b) wherein the accommodating regions (15) are arranged in the corners (19a) of the polygonal profile and the sides (19b) of the polygonal profile are deformed elastically in order to generate a clamping force which acts on the respective heating elements (10).
