A heat exchange device for heating liquid adhesive material to an application temperature suitable for an adhesive bonding application includes a body having an inlet configured to receive a flow of liquid adhesive material and an outlet configured to provide the liquid adhesive material to a dispensing device for the adhesive bonding application. A fluid passageway in the body connects the inlet and the outlet. The fluid passageway includes a thin slit section in the form of an elongated ring shape, having a length along a fluid flow direction between the inlet and the outlet, the thin slit section further having a first dimension and a second dimension transverse to the fluid flow direction. The first dimension and the length are substantially greater than the second dimension. The heat exchange device further includes a heating element for heating the liquid adhesive material flowing through the thin slit section.

The present invention provides an electric heating device and its preparation method; the said electric heating device includes at least one PTC electric heating element and radiation fin; the said PTC electric heating element includes positive and negative electrodes and PTC element between positive and negative electrodes; the said radiation fin is located at outer surface of the said PTC electric heating element; surface of the said radiation fin_with no physical connection to the said PTC electric heating element, is uncharged. State-of-the-art flat aluminum tube or aluminum tube is not used for the electric heating device provided in the present invention, which not only saves costs, but also reduces heat resistance in intermediate link of flat aluminum tube, enhances heat exchange efficiency and increases volumetric power density.

A heater unit includes a heater 72 having first bend portions 95 (95a to 95d) and second bend portions 96 (96a to 96f). The first bend portions 95 are turns present in a maximum-temperature area (first area 90a) where the maximum temperature is reached during heating among areas 88 where the turns have a narrower pitch and having apexes facing each other in the short-length direction (left-right direction) of a ceramic substrate. The second bend portions 96 are turns present in areas 89 where the turns have a wider pitch and having apexes facing each other in the short-length direction. The distance X1 [mm] between the first bend portions 95 facing each other is larger than the distance X2 [mm] between the second bend portions 96 facing each other.

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. The aerosol delivery devices include mechanisms configured to deliver an aerosol precursor composition from a reservoir to an atomizer including a heating element to produce a vapor. An actuator may displace a rod to dispense the aerosol precursor composition to the atomizer. Thereby, the rod may move a piston in a pump housing to dispense the aerosol precursor composition. The atomizer may define a chamber in which the heating element is positioned and at which the aerosol precursor composition is vaporized.
