A fluid heating device of an engine is provided that is capable of reducing power consumption of a heat source required for heating a fluid. The fluid heating device of the engine includes a heat radiation pipe through which a fluid passes and an induction heating coil. Heat of the heat radiation pipe that is inductively heated by the induction heating coil is radiated to the fluid. A whole periphery of the heat radiation pipe is surrounded by the induction heating coil. The induction heating coil is supported by the heat radiation pipe. A holder is included, and the induction heating coil is supported by the heat radiation pipe via the holder. The holder, to which the induction heating coil is attached, is detachably supported by the heat radiation pipe.

A heat exchanger has a fluid flow passage having an inlet and an outlet, and with a first plate and a second plate in opposed facing relation to one another. The fluid flow passage is defined by a space between the inner surfaces of the first and second plates. An electrical heating element is outside the fluid flow passage and adjacent to the outer surface of the first plate, such that heat produced by the electrical heating element is transferred through the first plate to the fluid in the fluid flow passage during use of the heat exchanger. In an embodiment, the first plate has an opening to receive a heater plate component including a first plate portion having an inner surface bonded to a turbulence-enhancing insert and an outer surface bonded to the electrical heating element.

An on-demand hot water dispenser includes a housing, a water heating system received in the housing, and a faucet connected to the water heating system through the housing for dispensing hot water into a container. A drip tray is positioned below the faucet and a screen covers the drip tray to support the container during dispensing of the hot water.

A froth heater can include an outer case defining an inner cavity, an inlet in fluid communication with the inner cavity, and an outlet in fluid communication with the inner cavity. The froth heater can include a heater core inserted into inner cavity and configured to form a flow path between an inner wall of the outer case and the heater core between the inlet and the outlet. The heater core can include a core cavity configured to receive a heater therein to heat the heater core.

The invention relates to an in-line heating device (100) for heating a fluid and/or a food product and/or a fluid foam and/or a food foam, the device (100) comprising a heating cartridge (120) and a primary heating unit (110). The heating cartridge (120) comprises an insert (121) made of an electrically conductive material and being inductively heatable by an oscillating magnetic field provided by the primary heating unit (110). The heating cartridge (120) further comprises an inner heating path (124) through which the fluid and/or food product and/or fluid foam and/or food foam circulates. The heating path (124) is arranged inside the insert (121) so that fluid is heated while circulating through the path (124) and before being delivered from the device (100).

The invention further relates to a foaming machine (200) providing a fluid foam and/or a food product foam, the machine being configured to receive an in-line heating device (100) as described. Still further, the invention relates to a system (300) for providing a hot fluid foam and/or a hot food product foam.

A fluid heating system may be installed for residential and commercial use, and may deliver fluid at consistent high temperatures for cooking, sterilizing tools or utensils, hot beverages and the like, without a limit on the number of consecutive discharges of fluid. The fluid heating system is installed with a tankless fluid heating device that includes an inlet port, an outlet port, at least one heat source connected with the inlet port, and a valve connecting the at least one heat source to the outlet port. A temperature sensor is downstream of the at least one heat source and connected to the valve. Another temperature sensor is on the heat source to enable it to be kept at an elevated temperature. The valve is operated so that an entire volume of a fluid discharge from the fluid heating system is delivered at a user-specified temperature on demand, for every demand.

A heatable pipe contains a layer (layer I) of a moulding compound containing at least 40 wt. % of the following components: 1) 60 to 99 parts by wt. of a copolyamide based on hexamethylenediamine, terephthalic acid and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 8 to 19 carbon atoms, and 2) 40 to 1 parts by wt. of an olefinic copolymer as impact modifier, wherein the parts by wt. of 1) and 2) sum to 100; and a conductor for electrical current which is embedded between an electrically insulating outer layer and an electrically insulating inner layer. The heatable pipe exhibits a high heat distortion temperature, very good impact resistance and a high elongation at break and is used for producing an SCR conduit, a conduit for diesel fuel or a conduit for a fuel cell system.

Disclosed is a water supply system that conditionally fills with heated water. The water supply system has a water tank configured to store and supply heated water, a heater configured to heat water in the water tank, and a sensor configured to sense a temperature of the water in the water tank. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the water supply system has a water supply unit configured to selectively supply heated water or unheated water to the water tank based on the temperature that has been sensed. In some implementations, this is performed to reduce use of the heated water, which may result in energy savings.

A froth heater can include an outer case defining an inner cavity, an inlet in fluid communication with the inner cavity, and an outlet in fluid communication with the inner cavity. The froth heater can include a heater core inserted into inner cavity and configured to form a flow path between an inner wall of the outer case and the heater core between the inlet and the outlet. The heater core can include a core cavity configured to receive a heater therein to heat the heater core.

Disclosed is a flow heater with a housing having an inlet and an outlet. A flow passage for liquid that is to be heated runs from the inlet to the outlet. A heating plate is arranged as wall of a heated section of the flow passage. A bypass passage is provided in parallel to the heated section of the flow passage in order to guide any gas bubbles contained in the liquid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet without passing through the heated section of the flow passage.
