The utility model discloses a high-
power density PTC
water heater, which comprises a PTC heating body, a shell and a wire harness, the PTC heating body comprises a PTC heating core and an aluminum
casting, the PTC heating core comprises a PTC sheet, an
electrode sheet and an insulating protection frame, and the upper part and the lower part of the PTC sheet are connected with the
electrode sheet through heat-conducting glue; the aluminum
casting comprises a PTC heating core mounting seat, an upper cover and a
flange I, a mounting cavity matched with the PTC heating core is formed in the middle of the PTC heating core mounting seat, and flow guide ribs are arranged on the bottom surface of the PTC heating core mounting seat and the upper surface of the upper cover; the shell comprises a cavity for containing the PTC heating body, a water inlet, a water outlet and a
flange II, and a liquid flowing channel is formed between the flow guide ribs and the cavity. Through innovative design of the structure, insulation, heat dissipation and liquid flow channels of the heater, the whole structure is simple, the size is small, the
maximum power density above 58W / cm < 2 > can be achieved, and the size, the weight and the cost of the heater are effectively reduced.
