  • Patent number: 10451310
    Abstract: Mobile water heating systems for producing hot water are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a mobile water heating system includes a water heater having an oval-cylindrical shape. The water heater includes a shell, a lid and a water reservoir having a screen. A first heating coil and a second heating coil can extend between the screen and a first cone and a second cone, respectively. A first burner and a second burner can be configured to mix and combust fuel and air and direct the resulting flames through the heating coils. Pall rings can at least partially fill an interior volume of the water heater and the combustion of the fuel and air can heat the heating coils and the pall rings. Water can be heated by being directed through the heating coils and through a water manifold positioned to spray water on the pall rings.

  • Publication number: 20140345544
    Abstract: A system for heating water used to produce hydraulic fracturing fluid (“fracing fluid”). The system includes a mobile water heating system, and first and second pumps. The heating system is configured to heat water at a first flow rate from a first temperature to a second temperature. The first pump pumps water having the first temperature from a water source to the heating system at the first flow rate. The second pump pumps the heated water from the heating system at a second flow rate. Both the first and second flow rates are at least 20 barrels per minute. The second pump pumps the heated water to a location (e.g., one or more tanks) whereat a proppant and/or a chemical may be added to the heated water to produce fracing fluid. The fracing fluid may be pumped to one or more wells and used to hydraulically fracture an underground formation.
