Abstract: A heating element unit for an electric resistance heater comprises: a casing; a heating element within the casing; and an electrical insulator between the heating element and the casing. In some embodiments, the electrical insulator comprises first and second layers, the second layer having a greater dielectric strength than the first layer, and the second layer having: a dielectric strength of greater than about 1500 kV/m (greater than about 40 V/mil). In some embodiments, the electrical insulator comprises an electrically-insulating granular material and has a dielectric strength greater than about 1500 kV/m (greater than about 40 V/mil).

Abstract: Disclosed is a heating unit which can comprise a tube, or pipe, having an aperture therein which can be configured to receive a heating element. In various embodiments, the heating element can comprise a resistive element which can be configured to generate heat when a voltage differential is applied thereto. In certain embodiments, the heating unit can further comprise a collar which is threadably engaged with the tube, wherein a flame path, or exhaust path, can be defined between threads on the pipe and threads on the collar, for example. In certain embodiments, the flame path can comprise a passageway defined between the circumference, or perimeter, of the tube and the collar. Such a flame path can be configured to allow pressurized gasses to safely escape from the tube along a predetermined path.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved control system and method for the absorption refrigeration process. The system includes sensors that measure the absorption process in order to determine if the absorption cycle is continuous. A control unit in communication with the sensors which compares the measured sensor values to predetermined safe limits. When the control unit determines that safe limits have been exceeded, the control unit communicates with actuators adjusting the absorption cycle heat source, ultimately protecting the absorption refrigeration process from damage. Further, the control may reestablish the absorption cycle heat source when predetermined safe operation conditions are detected.
