Additional heater for a vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to an infrared radiator module for outputting directed infrared radiation (14) at the front module end thereof and a heated air flow (26), said module comprising: an electric infrared emitter (12) for generating the infrared radiation (14); an infrared reflector (16) enclosing the infrared emitter (12) laterally to align the infrared radiation (14) generated by the infrared emitter (12) in the direction of the front module end; a housing (20) enclosing the infrared reflector (16) laterally; and a fan (24) arranged behind the infrared emitter (12) and the infrared reflector (16) to generate an air flow (26) passing through the housing (20). The invention is characterized in that the infrared emitter (12) and the infrared reflector (16) are combined into a unit (18) that is airtight toward the fan (24) and a gap (22) is arranged between the infrared reflector (16) and the housing (20), which gap is open to the exterior of the module and is connected to the fan (24) in a flow-conducting manner.
