AN ELECTRICAL HEATER

An electrical fluid heater (100) includes a housing and electric heating elements (20). The housing forms a fluid flow chamber (10) formed with an inlet (12) for ingress and an outlet (14) for the egress of fluid. The heating elements (20) disposed inside the fluid flow chamber (10) are heated by resistive heating to heat fluid flowing around thereof as the fluid flows in the fluid flow chamber (10) from the inlet (12) to the outlet (14). The electric heating elements (20) are formed as heating bars extending through the fluid flow chamber (10) from one extremity to the other. The electrical fluid heater (100) includes intermediate baffles (30) arranged within the fluid flow chamber (10) to redirect fluid received inside the fluid flow chamber (10) to uniformly distribute fluid within the fluid flow chamber (10) and define a torturous fluid flow path between the inlet (12) and the outlet (14).
