Abstract:
1. A heating system for heating fluid media, in particular for domestic appliances, comprising: a carrier unit, a heating unit arranged on the carrier unit, and a heat transfer element comprising a material which is a good conductor of heat, wherein the heat transfer element has a first mounting portion for mounting a first safety device which responds at a first response temperature and a second mounting portion for mounting a second safety device which responds at a second response temperature which is lower than the first response temperature, wherein the heat transfer element has a first temperature pickup portion which is in direct heat conducting contact with the heating unit and the first safety device, wherein the heat transfer element has a second temperature pickup portion which is spatially separate from the first temperature pickup portion and which is in heat-conducting contact with the medium to be heated and the second safety device; and wherein the first temperature pickup portion of the heat transfer element is in direct heat-conducting contact with an underside with the heating unit and the first safety device is arranged on a top side of the heat transfer element at the first mounting portion so that the heat transfer element is arranged between the first safety device and the heating unit, wherein the second temperature pickup portion of the heat transfer element is in direct heat-conducting contact with the carrier unit in a region of the carrier unit which in normal operation of the heating system has the medium to be heated flowing therearound.
