Abstract:
A device for heating a liquid in a holder (10), comprising:a) a heater element (31) designed for placement in said holder and for immersion in said liquid, b) a temperature sensor (65) arranged for measuring the temperature of liquid in the holder and coupled to a control unit (41) for the thermostatic control of power supply to the heater element (31), c) a thermal cut-out (60) for interrupting the power supply to the heater element in response to heating of the heater element to above a given temperature, which cut-out (60) is in thermally conductive contact with the heater element (31), and d) a carrier (50) which is thermally coupled via a thermal coupling to a portion of said heater element, which element is immersed in liquid in said holder in the operational state, characterized in that the temperature sensor (65) is situated at a distance from said thermal coupling on said carrier (50).
