    Abstract: A flexible tape heater (110) in a patient conduit (112) may be used to heat the flow of gas in the patient conduit (112) that is delivered to the patient mask (116). The thin, flat and extended nature of the flexible tape heater (110) may enhance heat transfer with the gas flow whilst also providing low impedance to the gas flow. Heating of the gas may facilitate the desired temperature and humidity to be reached for the gas delivered to the patient by the respiratory apparatus. The flexible tape heater (110) may be placed in the patient conduit (112) such that the flexible tape heater (110) is twisted or bent about one or more of the flexible tape heater's (110) three axes. Additionally these configurations may be used to enhance the turbulent mixing of the water vapour produced in the humidification chamber (114) with the gas flow.

    Abstract translation: 患者导管(112)中的柔性带状加热器(110)可以用于加热输送到患者面罩(116)的患者导管(112)中的气体流。 柔性带加热器(110)的薄,平坦和延伸的性质可以增强与气流的热传递,同时还为气流提供低阻抗。 气体的加热可以促进由呼吸装置输送到患者的气体达到所需的温度和湿度。 柔性带加热器(110)可以放置在患者导管(112)中,使得柔性带加热器(110)围绕一个或多个柔性带加热器(110)三个轴线被扭曲或弯曲。 另外,这些配置可以用于增强在加湿室(114)中产生的水蒸气与气流的湍流混合。
