A system for precision temperature control of thermal bead baths used in biological laboratories to heat biological samples. An insulated outer shell and an inner shell sealed together to form a recirculation pathway. The inner shell has an air extraction port opening into the recirculation pathway and at least one air injection port opening into the recirculation pathway. A fan in the recirculation pathway draws air through the air extraction port. A thermal sensor is connected to a control and is disposed in close proximity to one of the air injection ports. Thermal beads are placed in a mesh basket inside the inner shell. The fan draws air from the inner shell through the beads and into the recirculation pathway, where the air is heated by a thermal element. The air flows past the thermal element and through the air injection ports back into the inner shell.

A heat-generating assembly (1) includes at least one airflow generation device, air supply which is fluidically connected to the airflow generation device, and at least three heating devices, each having an air inlet connected to the air supply, and a reheated air outlet. The airflow generation device and the heating devices are controlled in that the heating devices are distributed along at least one perimeter line, and in that each perimeter line section which contains three adjacent heating devices is curvilinear.

A heating element (18) for a heating element carrier (10) of an electrically operated heat gun (100). The heating element carrier (10) is designed to receive the heating elements (18). The heating elements comprise a resistance wire (34) with a cross-sectional surface A and a cross-sectional perimeter U, where (4πA)U2<1.

A method of manufacturing a gas heater heating element including a support and channel structure with a plurality of channels formed in the monolith includes shaping an electric heating element and at least partially coating the electric heating element with at least one coating material. The at least partially coated electric heating element is positioned in a mold for producing the monolith. The monolith is produced and surrounds the at least partially coated electric heating element. The coating material of the at least partially coated electric heating element is removed. The gas heater heating element includes at least one electric heating element in the monolith and the electric heating element is guided in the plurality of channels of the support. Heat within the plurality of channels is configured to be transferred by the electric heating element to a gas flowing through the plurality of channels to heat the gas.

A system for coating removal comprises a frame having a platform extending within the frame. A plurality of heat lamps are mounted on the platform. The plurality of heat lamps are arranged to provide a heat density of at least 40 watts per square inch. A method of removing a coating is also disclosed.

A portable space heater is provided having a heating assembly that includes at least one heating element positioned in front of a fan (defined by the direction of the air flow with the air blowing toward the front) such that the heating element is in linear alignment with the fan along the axis of rotation of the fan. The fan and the at least one heating element may be further positioned within a duct assembly that narrows as it approaches a front grill of the portable space heater.

According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of blow through direct fired heaters including evaporator coils and/or energy recovery ventilation.

A body dryer includes an airflow generator to generate a flow of air, an inlet to pass air from the surroundings to the airflow generator, an outlet to vent the air from the airflow generator, a body, and a movable bar, the bar supported by the body. A drive assembly is provided between the body and the bar, the bar movably driven relative to the body. A noise cancellation device is provided to cancel or reduce noise in at least one of the airflow generator and the drive assembly.

The invention, according to a first aspect, relates to a cover (4) of an electronic interface housing (300) of an electrical heating device for a motor vehicle, the cover (4) comprising at least one pressing member (44a, 44b) and at least one pressing element (45) which are configured to be in contact with a printed circuit board (5) when the cover (4) is fixed on the electronic interface housing (300), a free end of the at least one pressing member (44a, 44b) extending in a first transverse plane (451) and a free end (4501) of the at least one pressing element (45) extending in a second transverse plane (452), the at least one pressing member (44a, 44b) and the at least one pressing element (45) being arranged so that they project, in a direction perpendicular to a reference plane (400) of the cover (4), from an inner face of the cover (4) intended to face toward the inside of the electronic interface housing (300), characterized in that the first transverse plane (451) and the second transverse plane (452) are substantially parallel to one another and to the reference plane of the cover, strictly not coincident with one another or with the reference plane (400) of the cover (4), the second transverse plane (452) being, in a direction perpendicular thereto, closer to the reference plane (400) of the cover (4) than the first transverse plane (451).

Outdoor power equipment includes a frame supported by a plurality of wheels and an air heating system. The air heating system includes an air inlet, an air outlet, a heating device configured to heat the air between the air inlet and the air outlet, and an adjustable duct connector fixedly coupled to at least one of the air inlet and the air outlet. The adjustable duct connector includes a base plate, a ring arm slidably coupled to the base plate, and a handle rotatably coupled to the base plate and the ring arm. Rotation of the handle selectively transitions the ring arm between a first position proximate the handle and a second position arranged further from the handle. The adjustable duct connector further includes a locking mechanism configured to secure the ring arm in the first position and the second position.
