Dispensing of hot water having an adjustable temperature by way of a water outlet fitting that can be installed on a sink. This is achieved by a continuous flow heater and a measured value sensor arranged in a water inlet of the water outlet fitting as the hot water heater. The measured value sensor detects a measurement variable with regard to water flowing through the continuous flow heater (10). The water dispensing device has a control unit, which is designed to regulate a flow rate through the continuous flow heater as a function of measured values of the measured value sensor in order to adjust the temperature of the hot water.

Certain disclosed embodiments concern systems and methods of preparing dialysate for use in a home dialysis system that is compact and light-weight relative to existing systems and consumes relatively low amounts of energy. The method includes coupling a household water stream to a dialysis system; filtering the water stream; heating the water stream to at least about 138 degrees Celsius in a non-batch process to produce a heated water stream; maintaining the heated water stream at or above at least about 138 degrees Celsius for at least about two seconds; cooling the heated water stream to produce a cooled water stream; ultrafiltering the cooled water stream; and mixing dialysate components into the cooled water stream in a non-batch process.

The present invention discloses a film type liquid heater and a uniform heating method thereof. End fixation plates are arranged at two ends of a barrel. A heating pipe is arranged in the barrel. Pipe ports run through the two end fixation plates, respectively. Connecting pipes are arranged in the pipe ports. Sealing connection components are arranged at inner ends of the two connecting pipes. A heating film layer is coated outside the heating pipe. Electrode layers are connected left and right sides of the heating film layer, and the electrode layers are connected to an external power supply. An insulating layer is coated outside the heating film layer. A flow splitting column is fixedly connected in the heating pipe. A heating chamber is formed between an inner side of the heating pipe and the flow splitting column. Flow splitting grooves are formed at left and right ends and on the inner side of the flow splitting column. Two outer ends of the flow splitting grooves are communicated with the connecting pipes, and the flow splitting grooves are communicated with the heating chamber. The heating film layer is electrified to generate heat. The heat is conducted inward to the heating pipe and the flow splitting column, and conducted outward to the barrel. Liquid flows into the heating chamber through the connecting pipes and the flow splitting grooves, so that the heating uniformity of the liquid flow flowing through the heating chamber is improved.

An electric heating device includes a housing having a partition wall which separates a connection chamber from a heating chamber for dissipating heat and from which at least one receiving pocket, protruding into the heating chamber as a heating rib tapering towards its lower, closed end protrudes. A PTC heating element includes at least one PTC element and conductor tracks for energizing the PTC element with different polarities. The conductor tracks are electrically conductively connected to the PTC element and are electrically connected in the connection chamber. A pressure element is received which holds heat extraction surfaces of the PTC element abutted against oppositely disposed inner surfaces of the receiving pocket. The pressure element includes a sheet metal strip which, by punching and bending, forms spring segments protruding from the plane of the sheet metal strip. The spring elements are provided in a planar manner distributed over a heat extraction surface of the PTC element provided adjoining the respective pressure element.

An electric heater includes a heating element, a heat transfer wall and a control module. The electric heater includes a fluid chamber, an inlet, and an outlet. The fluid chamber is in communication with the inlet and the outlet, the heat transfer wall is a portion of a wall part forming the fluid chamber, the heating element is fixed or limited to at least a portion of the heat transfer wall, the heating element is located outside the fluid chamber, and at least a portion of the heating element is in contact with the heat transfer wall.

A heating device for heating fluids, such as water or a liquid coolant, for application in electric or hybrid vehicles, where the absence of an internal combustion engine or its shorter time of use requires using heating devices for heating either the passenger compartment or other parts of the vehicle that require it. The heating device is provided with a configuration which limits the temperature to the temperature at which heat exchange occurs between the heat generation source and the liquid to be heated, such that the liquid does not generate precipitates, prolonging the service life of the device.
