An
electric heating arrangement (10) for heating a flow of fluid, the
electric heating arrangement (10) comprising at least one jacket element (12), a plurality of fluid channels (14), whereby each fluid channel (14) extends along a longitudinal axis through the, or each jacket element (12), and has an opening at one or both longitudinal ends The
electric heating arrangement also comprises at least one
heating element comprising a plurality of
heating element sections (16, 16a, 16b), each extending along a longitudinal axis through a fluid channel (14) and having at least one longitudinal end that is positioned at at least one open longitudinal end of the fluid channel (14), and at least one connector (18) connecting a longitudinal end (16e) of a first
heating element section (16a) to a longitudinal end of a second heating element section (16b), The, or each connector (18) comprises a connector body (18b) comprising a first bore (20) configured to receive a longitudinal end (16e) of the first heating element section (16a), and a second bore (22) configured to receive a longitudinal end (16f) of the second heating element section (16b), a central part (18c) extending between the first bore (20) and the second bore (22), and at least one fixation element (24) that extends between the connector body (18b) and a jacket element (12), whereby at least one of the following ratios is / are met: R1, R2 where: - h is the height of the at least one fixation element (24) which protrudes from the, or each connector body (18b), - L is the length of the connector body (18b), measured along a longitudinal axis of the connector body (18b), - A FS is the free channel area in a fluid channel (14) around a heating element section (16, 16a, 16b) through which a fluid flows during operation, measured in a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the fluid channel (14), and - A c is the cross-sectional area of the, or each connector (18), measured in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fluid channel (14).
