An electronic cigarette includes a shell and a mouthpiece. The external wall of the shell has an air inlet. An atomizer and a liquid-supply are in contact with each other. The air inlet, atomizer, an aerosol passage, and a mouthpiece are sequentially interconnected.

A heating assembly can include a locking valve with a reset switch which can include certain pressure sensitive features. These features can be configured to change from a first position to a second position based on a pressure of a fuel. The valve can be used with either a first fuel or a second fuel different from the first. The valve can become locked or be held in either the first or the second position. For example, a set fuel pressure can cause the valve to move to a closed position and the valve can become locked or held in that position. If the pressure decreases, the valve can remain in the locked position. Actuation of the reset switch can allow the valve to move to a new position, such as an open position. The locking valve can be linked to additional valves to lock them in position as well.

A combustion heater generates heat by means of flame. The combustion heater is disposed adjacent to a refrigerant circuit filled with a combustible refrigerant. The combustion heater includes a combustion unit and a porous body. The combustion unit causes generation of flame. The porous body covers the combustion unit or a periphery of the combustion unit. The porous body at least partially covers both or one of a combustion space receiving combustible refrigerant leaking from the refrigerant circuit and a member in contact with the combustible refrigerant leaking from the refrigerant circuit. The porous body has a plurality of holes. The holes have a diameter d1 equal to or less than an extinction diameter d of the combustible refrigerant.

A heating device including at least one heating element, more particularly at least one PTC element; at least two current supply devices; and a heat exchanger body which has an outer surface for releasing heat to an environment and a receiving cavity for receiving the heating element; wherein the heating element is disposed in the receiving cavity and is thermally conductively connected to the heat exchanger body, and wherein at least one spring element is provided which is supported on at least one support region of the heat exchanger body and applies a clamping force toward the heating element such that the heating element is pressed against the current supply devices and a base, more particularly a heat sink, of the heat exchanger body.

Embodiments of the inventive concept provide a high-capacity, sparkless, mobile, double-insulated wood pellet burner unit. The wood pellet burner unit is safely operated on a wood floor or deck. The wood pellet burner unit produces a large radiant flame that enhances the surrounding area, free from dangerous sparks and smoke. The ash and coals from the fire are enclosed within a double-insulated housing. A wind break radiant heat reflector protects the flame from being distorted, enhances the flame so that it remains in a substantially upright column, and reflects some of the heat outwardly toward the users. Casters disposed on the bottom of the wood pellet burner permit easy and convenient movement of the unit. The wood pellet burner unit disclosed herein produces a larger and fuller flame than a pure gas fire pit based on a balanced multi-directional flow of heated combustion air flow through the unit.

A radiating fin with a bent radiating portion and an electrothermal oil heater using the same are provided. The radiating fin comprises a main body with an oil guide groove formed therein, connecting sleeves extending in a horizontal direction being provided at an upper end and a lower end of the main body; a bent radiating portion is formed within a region, a certain distance away from the middle, of an edge of at least one end of the main body; and an upper end and a lower end of the bent radiating portion are located in different vertical planes, or the upper end and the lower end of the bent radiating portion are located in a same vertical plane, and at least one portion between the upper end and the lower end is bent to form a side-raised structure. Compared with the prior art, the radiating fin with a bent radiating portion provided in the present invention has the following advantages: by forming a bent radiating portion within a region, a certain distance from the middle, of an edge of any end of the radiating fin, when a plurality of the radiating fins are connected to each other, a combined radial and convective radiating way can be realized and meanwhile the transverse radiation and the longitudinal radiation of the radiator are strengthened.

A ceramic heater having an enlarged windward area includes a conductive heat sink, at least one positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating element, and an electrode plate. The conductive heat sink includes a cooling fin. The at least one PCT heating element is disposed on one side of the cooling fin. The electrode plate is disposed on the other side of the cooling fin. A conductive terminal protrudes from one end of the electrode plate. The conductive terminal includes a warped section and a flat section. A portion of the warped section and the flat section extend in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the electrode plate. Accordingly, heat dissipation is accelerated, a windward area is enlarged, and the effect of blowing out a hot airflow is enhanced, thereby avoiding a temperature rise of the conductive terminal.

A modulating heating system includes a tube heat exchanger having a plurality of burners, a combustion air blower (CAB) having an exhaust vent connected with the plurality of burners, the CAB operable at a first speed and a second speed, a first valve connecting a fuel source to a first subset of the plurality of burners, and a second valve connecting a fuel source to a second subset of the plurality of burners, wherein the first and second valves each have a low fire rate and a high fire rate. The heat exchanger is operable through multiple heat stages at a constant fuel-air mixture.

Disclosed are various space heater base brackets. A first thermal transfer component has a base bracket hole along its bottom edge. A second thermal transfer component has a locking hole along its bottom edge. A base bracket is between the first thermal transfer component and the second thermal transfer component. The base bracket has a tab that protrudes into the base bracket hole. The base bracket also has a locking mechanism corresponding to the locking hole in the second thermal transfer component.

A transfer tube for a thermal transfer device can include at least one wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, where the inner surface forms a cavity, where the at least one wall further has a first end and a second end. The first end can be configured to couple to a terminus of a heat exchanger of the thermal transfer device. The second end can be configured to couple to a collector box of the thermal transfer device. At least a portion of the at least one wall can be disposed in a vestibule of the thermal transfer device. The cavity can be configured to simultaneously receive a first fluid that flows from the first end to the second end and a second fluid that flows from the second end to the first end.
