ABSTRACT:
An electric heater for heating diesel fuel includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet. A flat disk-shaped PTC thermistor is centrally mounted in the housing and is arranged so that the inlet directs fuel against one side of the thermistor to divert the flow of fuel outwardly around the marginal edges of the thermistor. An electrical resistance heater unit surrounds the thermistor between the walls of the housing and the thermistor and is provided with spaces through which the outwardly diverted fuel passes. A divider wall in the housing spaced from the heater unit and thermistor directs the fuel passing through the heater unit across the opposite side of the thermistor to the housing outlet. The PTC thermistor and electric heater unit are connected electrically in series whereby the thermistor functions to control heating output of the fuel heater in accordance with ambient temperature conditions.
