The invention relates to a method for operating a heating device (42) of a system (45) for controlled respiratory hyperthermia treatment on the human or animal organism, with ambient air being used as inspiration air via a first air inlet (1) and a first valve (2), in particular a controllable one valve or a non-return valve, into which the heating device (42) is drawn, is heated by means of a heating unit (6) and a heat exchanger (4) which is in thermal contact with the heating unit (6) and via a heat exchanger (4) which can be heated in particular for further heating and is equipped with a temperature sensor ( 17) controlled, inspiratory air breathing tube (18) at a temperature of 37°C to 60°C to a breathing mask (20), as well as a system and a software program product. The inspired air is temporarily stored in the heating device (42) in a reservoir (7) downstream of the heat exchanger (4) and is guided into the inspired air breathing tube (18) by opening a controllable second valve (8) downstream of the reservoir (7) when a Pressure sensor (15) on the breathing mask measures a negative pressure. |
