Patent number: 9849475Abstract: A mobile spray dispenser comprises a fluid circulation system and a heating unit. The fluid circulation system has a motorized pump capable of circulating fluid from a fluid reservoir in a high-pressure spray mode and a low-pressure recirculation mode, and of providing the fluid to a sprayer. The motorized pump draws lower power in the low-pressure recirculation mode than in the high-pressure spray mode. The heating unit is disposed within the fluid circulation system to heat the fluid to a target temperature, and comprises a primary heater and a boost heater. The primary heater is configured to be active during both the high-pressure spray mode and the low-pressure recirculation mode. The boost heater is in fluid series with the primary heater, and is configured to be active only during the low-pressure recirculation mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Graco Minnesota Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Pellin, Jeffrey N. Velgersdyk, Joshua D. Roden, Bryan K. Colby
