As published in the magazin autoregion international this August, and in the special issue of the FAZ "Automotive Excellence" in September: "The new high-voltage fluid heater from DBK - powerful revolution from Germany!”

DBK‘s technical revolution in the segment of water heaters combines downsizing with increased performance! Thanks to innovative, patented fluid guidance, DBK David + Baader GmbH from Rülzheim, Germany, has succeeded in bringing the world‘s smallest, lightest, and most efficient automotive high-voltage water heater into serial production.

“DBK‘s High Voltage Fluid Heater is

a powerful installation space world

champion”

Heating systems with innovative high- and low-voltage solutions for cars, trucks and commercial vehicles, whether for electric, fuel cell or combustion engines, bring heat onto the road.

The new generation of DBK’s high-voltage fluid heater features downsizing with added performance. Despite an installation space reduction of 40%, the power density of the 7 kW heater has been doubled. Due to patented fluid guidance, the power is delivered to the fluid with maximum efficiency.
