  • Patent number: 8687951
    Abstract: A fluid heating apparatus includes a housing containing a flattened tube and lamps. The apparatus further includes a first conduit flow-coupled to the flattened tube, the first conduit being adapted to provide fluid to the flattened tube. The apparatus further includes a second conduit flow-coupled to the flattened tube, the second conduit being adapted to channel fluid from the flattened tube. The lamps are arranged to irradiate the flattened tube, and the flattened tube is adapted to absorb radiation from the lamps and heat fluid contained therein.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5567143
    Abstract: Flue-draft-malfunction detector and shut-off control for oil burner furnaces automatically stops operation of the oil burner in event of flue draft malfunction and prevents further running operation of the oil burner until a meltable element in the control is replaced by an intact element. The control casing has a passageway with an inlet on its front end and at least one outlet. The control is mountable on a furnace with the inlet communicating with the furnace combustion chamber. The meltable element is removably positioned within the casing for exposure to the passageway. Two electrical conductors extend from opposite ends of the element and serve as leads connectable in circuit across two terminals of a primary oil burner control so the element completes a circuit between these terminals.
