Abstract
In a radiant heating unit the temperature sensor (30) of a temperature limiter (29) extends over only part of the diameter of the heating field (17) in which the radiation heaters (13) are located. The temperature sensor is so constructed and/or mounted, that it exerts a pressure on the mounting support (44), e.g. in the form of a projecting member of the insulator (7), which is, e.g., located in the center of the heater. Thus, it keeps the insulation under a certain pretensioning pressure and it is simultaneously prevented that it is raised upwards and comes too close to the heated plate.
