Abstract: A receptacle type electric conducting device wherein many inconveniences and the danger of electric shock can be eliminated by installation of a pressure switch, protected under a narrow slot on the base seat of the electric heater pot. The pressure switch changes the constantly charged condition of pot base seat to one that only allows electric current when the electric heater pot is securely on the base seat, whereby avoiding electric shock from touching a charged empty base seat. The present invention devises the pressure switch under the protection of a narrow slit which only allows the pot base pressure ring to pass through when the electric heater pot is precisely sitting on top. The narrow slot not only safeguards the pressure switch's constantly off condition it also protect the pressure switch from water splashes or insertion of foreign objects.

Abstract: An automotive water heater having application to a windshield of an automobile, which is able to produce hot water that can be sprinkled on the windshield to melt accumulated snow and frost, in which a water heater is mainly structured from a laminated assembled heating unit side joined to a heat conducting surface of an exchange bed. Heat quantity produced by the heating unit forms a heat balance function, which transfers the heat to the exchange bed, and water flow paths are defined interior of the exchange bed. The face joining of the laminated heating units is used to facilitate maintenance of component members and allow changing of the number of heating units assembled to the exchange bed, thereby providing choice to accommodate different power requirements.

Hence, the present invention is able to achieve satisfactory strength of heat transfer and unequivocally resolve environmental issues.

Abstract: A structure for enhancing a heat exchange rate of an electric radiator is especially used in the electric radiator which applies a mineral oil to transmit the heat, such that a higher heat exchange rate can be achieved at a circulation part of related oil leaf. A relative distance between inner pipe walls of the oil loop is shortened, and a ratio of a long side to a short side of the loop is set to be greater than 6:1, which enables a flowing heat-transmission oil to easily break through a threshold Reynolds number to form a turbulent flow. On the other hand, heat-carrying particles of small specific heat are mixed into the oil body to improve the effect of heat transmission.
