In a heater according to the invention, a heat-radiating panel (3) is part of a planar package (1) comprising, besides the panel (3), a heat source (4,6,21) and preferably a thermal insulation means (5,22), wherein said package (1) is held in place along two opposite edges of the package (1), by a number of brackets (2) which run transversally from one edge (10) of the package to an opposite edge (20), along the back side of the package (1). The brackets (2) are removably mounted in the housing (25,26,27) of the heater. In this way, the package (1) can be easily installed in and removed from the housing (25,26,27). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the panel (3) is mounted under a pre-stress with respect to the brackets (2) by the fact that the mounting of the edges of the panel (3) into the brackets (2) imposes a concave curvature on the panel (1), the curve running from one edge to the opposite edge. The fact that the panel (3) is mounted in the brackets (2) instead of the housing (25,26,27) makes it possible to mount the panel (3) under a well-defined pre-stress that is not dependent on the housing (25,26,27) as such. |
