HEATING DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
The present invention relates to induction heating devices and systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to induction heating systems that may be used with, or include, radiators. A heating system described herein includes a radiator and an induction heating device attachable to the radiator, the induction heating device configured to heat at least a portion of the radiator via induction.
HEATABLE FLUID BAG
A heatable fluid bag, including a bag body, wherein a liquid inlet and power access port are formed in the bag body; the power access port is electrically connected with an electrical heating component installed in the bag body; the electrical heating component includes a metal ceramic heating sheet; the metal ceramic heating sheet is encapsulated in a metal protection shell composed of an upper and lower sheet; a connection base is connected to the upper sheet; a PVC protection shell is installed in the connection base; a power connector installation shell is installed in the PVC protection shell; a temperature control K301 switch, thermal fuse and power input socket are installed in the power connector installation shell; and a rotary upper cover is installed on the power input socket. The fluid bag is simple in structure, separates water and electricity, and is waterproof and insulating.
Furnace control system and method
A method for operating a furnace system includes initiating a start sequence comprising starting an inducer fan operative to induce an air flow through a burner assembly, a heat exchanger portion and a collector portion, determining whether an air pressure in the collector portion is above a first threshold value, starting a furnace ignition sequence including providing fuel to the burner assembly, igniting a fuel and air mixture and starting an ignition timer responsive to determining that the air pressure in the collector portion is above the first threshold value, determining whether the ignition timer has expired, determining whether the air pressure in the collector portion is above a second threshold value responsive to determining that the ignition timer has expired, and stopping the provision of fuel to the burner assembly responsive to determining that the air pressure in the collector portion is not above the second threshold value.
Hot water tank for bidet and bidet device including the same
A hot water tank for a bidet includes a tank main body in which a space for accommodating water is formed and an inclined surface having a portion of an upper side inclined downward is formed. The hot water tank also includes a heating unit inserted into and positioned in the tank main body and a bimetal positioned on the inclined surface.

Water heater having a supplemental photovoltaic heating arrangement
A water heater is provided having an insulated tank having a water inlet and a water outlet, and further defining an interior volume to contain a quantity of water. A primary heating arrangement applies heat energy to the water so as to heat the water. In addition, the primary heating arrangement is configured to maintain the water during standby periods between upper and lower set point temperatures. A supplemental heating arrangement is operative to supply additional heat energy to the water in order to lessen energy usage by the primary heating arrangement during the standby periods. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the supplemental heating arrangement includes at least one photovoltaic panel and a supplemental heating element. Control electronics are operatively interposed between the at least one photovoltaic panel and the supplemental heating element.
Method for managing the heating of water in a tank of a water heater
The invention relates to a method for managing the heating of water in a tank of a water heater which comprises a device for electrically heating the water in the tank, characterized in that it comprises, when a water heating phase is actuated: activation of heating by the heating device, determination of a variation of the temperature in the tank over time and determination of at least one water filling state in the tank according to the variation over time.
Hot water supply system
A hot water supply system provided on a water pipeline, which includes a water inflow side and a water outlet side. The hot water supply system includes a plurality of water heaters; each includes a conduit, a heating device, a calculating unit, and a control unit. The conduit includes an inlet section, an outlet section, and a heating section in sequence, wherein the inlet section and the outlet section are connected with the water inflow side and the water outflow side respectively; the heating device heats the heating section; the calculating unit estimates a heating workload needed. If the heating workload of any water heater exceeds a predetermined upper limit workload thereof, the control unit of one water heater controls the other idle heating device to heat water, which ensures that water temperature of water provided to the water outflow side would reach a demanded water temperature.
HEAT CONDUCTING ELEMENT FOR USE WITH A HEATED CONVEYOR PUMP
The present invention relates to a heat conducting element which comprises a first heat capturing portion configured to be thermally coupled to a heating unit of the heated conveyor pump; a second heat capturing portion configured to be thermally coupled to a medium leading section of a carrier unit of the heated conveyor pump; and at least one measurement portion positioned between the first heat capturing portion and the second heat capturing portion and configured to be thermally coupled to a temperature sensing unit. The first heat capturing portion extends from the measurement portion in a first direction and the second heat capturing portion extends from the measurement portion in a second direction such that the first and second heat capturing portions are arranged on opposite sides of the measurement portion. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a heat conducting element.
