  • Electric braking resistor-based heat generator for process fluids and emulsions
    Patent number: 12219669
    Abstract: An electric braking resistor-based heat generator for process fluids or emulsions includes a housing having a connection end, a body portion, and a closed end, where at least part of the housing forms an at least partially enclosed portion, an electric braking resistor at least partially disposed within the enclosed portion of the housing, and a thermally conductive material disposed within the enclosed portion of the housing that provides thermal communication between the electric braking resistor and the housing. The electric braking resistor converts electrical energy provided by an electric power source into thermal energy that is thermally communicated from the housing to the process fluids or emulsions.
    Type: Grant
