With Storage Container For Fluid To Be Heated Patents (Class 392/477)
  • Patent number: 11291285
    Abstract: A wireless hot shaving cream dispenser is provided. The dispenser includes a nozzle extending from a housing for dispensing a foam output. A flow path extends within the housing from a soap solution reservoir to the nozzle. A disrupter on the flow path downstream from the reservoir has a convoluted surface on the flow path to form a foam from soap solution flowing along the flow path. A heating assembly heats the dispenser to provide heat to the foam on the flow path, and a pump pumps soap solution from the reservoir through the disrupter to the nozzle along the flow path. A method of producing a hot shaving cream lather using the dispenser is provided.

  • Patent number: 8450666
    Abstract: A water boiling device includes a heat tank unit received in a machine body, a high frequency induction heater, and a heat pipe unit. The heat tank unit includes first and second heating tanks in communication with each other. Outside water can flow into the first and second heating tanks. The high frequency induction heater includes a heat pipe induction coil and first and second induction coils. The heat pipe unit includes first and second heating pipes. An upper section of each heating pipe is received in one of the heating tanks, and a lower section of each heating pipe extends out of the heating tanks and is inserted into the heat pipe induction coil. The first and second heating tanks will heat up to heat the water in the first and second heating tanks when a high frequency current is passed through the heat pipe induction coil and first and second induction coils.

  • Patent number: 7603028
    Abstract: A thermal treatment system comprising at least one apparatus for thermally treating an object, the apparatus comprising: one platform or two substantially opposite platforms, where at least one of the platforms has at least one thermal means for heating or cooling of the object; and at least one of the platforms has fluid-mechanical means for supporting the object without contact. The platform has an active surface comprising at least one of a plurality of basic cells, each basic cell having at least one of a plurality of pressure outlets and at least one of a plurality of fluid-evacuation channels. At least one of the pressure outlets of each basic cell is fluidically connected through a flow restrictor to a high-pressure fluid supply, the pressure outlets providing pressurized fluid for maintaining a fluid-cushion between the object and the active-surface of the platform. The flow restrictor characteristically exhibits fluidic return spring behavior.

  • Publication number: 20020141742
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the continuous heating of a liquid, such as water, to a constant temperature, particularly for domestic applications and more specifically for preparing coffee. The device includes a reservoir of water at ambient temperature, a pump, a heating unit whose electrical power supply is controlled by a switch, and a user outlet for delivering liquid at the desired temperature. The device also includes a component for regulating the flow rate of cold water delivered by the pump to the heating unit controlled by the temperature of the liquid leaving the heating unit and a component for recirculating water leaving the heating unit to the reservoir or to the inlet side of the pump for as long as this water has not reached a the constant operating temperature. The recirculation unit is controlled by the temperature of the water leaving the heating unit. The control is achieved by the use of a rated valve on the heated liquid outlet.

  • Patent number: 5109472
    Abstract: A water heater (10) overcomes the disadvantage of complicated structure in the prior art and can effectively prevent water in the tank from flowing back into main supply outside the tank, remove impurities in hot water to improve water quality, assure effective and safe operation of the water heater and prolong its service life through the use of a simple ventilating member (20) having small holes (26) preventing water from flowing back, a guiding pipe (24) which makes water swirl, a downwardly projecting periphery (14) of the bottom of the tank, a sand collector (16) and a manually operated sand removing valve (18).

  • Patent number: 4998007
    Abstract: A heating unit (1) for a medium reservoir (2) provided e.g. as a fryer has a sheet metal, U-shaped support (3) with a plurality of continuous flow heater tubes (4) fixed rigidly between its legs provided as flange plates (5, 6) and is in this way constructed as a closed, preassembled unit, which can be subsequently fixed as an entity to the walls (11, 12) of a container in such a way that they on the one hand project freely into the container and on the other hand their electrically conducting parts are accessible from the outside. Directly above the outlets (29) of the tubes of the said heating unit (1) distributed in grid-like manner can be provided a separately heated sensor system (31) with several temperature sensors.
