Air circulation system
An air circulation system includes an outlet tap having a pair of prong outlets receivable by a corresponding pair of electrical outlets of an electrical receptacle mounted to a vertical wall and positioned near a support surface, the outlet tap having at least two electrical outlets opposite the pair of prong outlets for providing electrical power from one or both of the electrical outlets of the electrical receptacle. A support member operatively connected to the outlet tap, the support member is adapted to suspendedly support a fan vertically above the support surface in response to the outlet tap being received by the electrical receptacle. A timer and a humidistat are connectable to corresponding electrical outlets of the at least two electrical outlets of the outlet tap for selectively controlling operation of the fan.
HEATER APPARATUS AND AIR CIRCULATION COMPONENT-INTEGRATED BEZEL FOR A COMPUTING DEVICE
A computing device includes a bezel and an enclosure. The bezel includes an air circulation component and a heater apparatus. The enclosure includes a plurality of hardware components, and the bezel is affixed to a frontside of the enclosure and configured to heat an internal volume of the enclosure.
DISHWASHER
The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher in which a single heater bracket is used to support and fix a heater in a heater housing, thereby reducing flow resistance against dry airflow flowing in the heater housing and minimizing the generation of noise, and in which the heater bracket, and a supporting leg supporting the heater housing with respect to a base are fastened to the heater housing at the same time by a single fastener, thereby simplifying the inner structure of the heater housing and minimizing costs incurred for assembling and manufacturing a dry air supply part.
AIR CONDITIONER
An air conditioner of the present disclosure includes a base case configured to include a suction port through which air is sucked and accommodate a filter therein, a tower case configured to be disposed above the base case and to include a discharge port through which the air sucked from the suction port is discharged, and a heater configured to be disposed inside the tower case to heat the air.
DUCTED ROOM AND SHOWER HEATING SYSTEM
This heating system consists of a ceiling or wall mounted housing containing a fan, motor, electric heater and optional controller which connects to a discharge vent via a duct which can all fit within a wall. It has primary usages as a room or shower heater where it can be recessed into a wall or ceiling where it intakes air from the room, heats it and routes it through an insulated duct in the wall and vents it back into the room near the floor. In a shower, the heater can be located high on the wall or in the ceiling away from the shower to keep it away from splashed water. Additionally, the heater and vent can both be mounted in the ceiling where the heater is outside the shower and the vent is in the shower. It can be controlled by a switch, wired thermostat or wireless remote.
DRIVING PART OF WARM AIR HEATER AND WARM AIR HEATER
The present disclosure provides a driving part of a warm air heater and the warm air heater, wherein the driving part comprises a driving circuit board, and a silicon-controlled element is arranged on the driving circuit board; the driving circuit board is arranged in an air duct of the warm air heater, and the driving circuit board is positioned at the upstream of the heating part or is flush with the heating part, wherein the upstream or the flush is based on the direction of air flow in the air duct. The driving part of the present disclosure utilizes the fan to cool the silicon-controlled element without adding large-area radiating fins, thus reducing the cost of the driving part, and the driving circuit board is not arranged on the main control circuit board anymore, thus realizing the miniaturization of the main control part.
SENSOR SYSTEM WITH HEATING
A sensor system includes a sensor and a plurality of panels connected to each other in a loop around the sensor. A duct is positioned to direct air towards the sensor. A heating element is disposed in the duct. First and second valves are disposed in the duct and spaced from each other along the duct. The first and second valves are selectively actuatable between an open position permitting airflow through the duct and a closed position blocking airflow through the duct. A computer is communicatively coupled to the heating element and the first and second valves. The computer is programmed to, upon determining a first difference between one respective panel temperature and an ambient temperature is greater than a first threshold, actuate the second valve to the closed position and maintain the first valve in the open position. The computer is further programmed to actuate the heating element to a first heating level based on the first difference.
Flameless heater system to generate heat and humidity
A flameless heater system is described. The flameless heater system includes an energy source configured to generate energy and a heating system operatively coupled to the energy source, the heating system being configured to convert the energy to heat. The flameless heater system further includes a humidifying system operatively coupled to the energy source, the humidifying system being configured to convert the energy into moisture and a control system operatively coupled to the energy source, the heating system and the humidifying system, the control system being configured to monitor and control the energy source, the heating system and the humidifying system.
Electrically operated fireplace systems and methods
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing an electrically operated fireplace that includes a one or more display panels, one or more reflective surfaces inclined at an angle with respect to the one or more display panels to reflect the video images of a flame displayed by the one or more display panels. One or more filters or privacy screens are disposed proximate the one or more display panels. Beneficially, the electrically operated fireplaces disclosed herein do not require the use of moving parts, such as a rotating mirror, to provide the images of the flames. Further, since video images are used to provide the flame effect, the flame effect may be varied simply by loading a new video image into the memory portion of the control circuitry used to provide the flame display.
Heater with Internal Temperature Sensors
A heater for heating air includes an inlet, an outlet, and an air duct between the inlet and the outlet. A fan and a heating element are positioned in the air duct. A first temperature sensor is positioned at or near the inlet and configured to measure a first temperature of ambient air at the inlet. A second temperature sensor in positioned in the air duct and configured to measure a second temperature of heated air flowing through the air duct. The heater is configured to control heating power and fan speed based on measurements taken by the first and second temperature sensors.
