Abstract

Disclosed is a flow heater with a housing having an inlet and an outlet. A flow passage for liquid that is to be heated runs from the inlet to the outlet. A heating plate is arranged as wall of a heated section of the flow passage. A bypass passage is provided in parallel to the heated section of the flow passage in order to guide any gas bubbles contained in the liquid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet without passing through the heated section of the flow passage.
