PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid heating component for use in heating fluid flowing in it.SOLUTION: A honeycomb structure 1 comprises a cell structure part 8 having a plurality of cells becoming flow passages for fluid passing from one end part toward the other end part that are defined and formed by partition walls 4 containing ceramics, and outer peripheral walls 7 arranged at the outer peripheries of the cell structure part 8 to form an interference part against an external area. Heating bodies 10 have a shape enclosing the outer peripheral walls 7 of the honeycomb structure 1, arranged outside under a state in which either cushioning materials or insulating materials are arranged between them or a state in which clearances are arranged between them so as to heat fluid flowing inside the honeycomb structure 1 from outside of the honeycomb structure 1. Then, the honeycomb structure 1 has a porosity of 20% or less and transmits heat of the heating bodies 10 to the fluid flowing in it without generating heat by itself.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A |
