A fluid heater (100) includes a first and a second end plate (10) and (20), heating elements (30) and intermediate plates (40). The first end plate (10) includes an inlet (12a) and an outlet (12b) for ingress and egress of fluid into and out of the fluid heater (100) to cause the fluid to follow a U-turn trajectory. The intermediate plates (40) and the heating elements (30) are arranged alternatively with respect to each other. The adjacent intermediate plates (40) define fluid flow passes adjacent the at least one corresponding heating element (30) to permit heat exchange between the fluid and the at least one corresponding heating element (30). The second end plate (20) includes fluid deflecting walls (50) formed on its surface to promote a homogeneous distribution of fluid in a first portion (20a) and a second portion (20b) of the second end plate (20).
