Abstract
Heating device (10), in particular for heating an operating fluid tank of a motor vehicle, preferably a tank for storage of aqueous urea solution, the heating device (10) comprising an electrical resistance heating trace (14) with a heating side (14b), on which, in intended operation, heat is emitted to a fluid to be heated, and the heating side (14b) opposing a carrier side (14a), on which the resistance heating trace (14) faces a mounting supporting it, wherein the resistance heating trace (14) is disposed between a flexible film (16) on its heating side (14b) and a substrate (12), rigid in comparison with the flexible film (16), as the supporting mounting on the carrier side (14a), which is characterized in that the resistance heating trace (14a) is connected to the rigid substrate (12) on the carrier side (14a) without intermediate arrangement of a further film.
