    摘要: A low leakage current fluid heater and systems and methods thereof. The fluid heater has a configuration whereby a heating element is isolated from a fluid channel so as to leak into fluid passing through the channel an allowed amount of leakage current. Fluid passing through the fluid heater can be heated to a desired temperature. A controller can provide control signals to driver the fluid heater to the desired temperature and maintain the temperature at the desired temperature.

    摘要: A heater comprises an inlet for a medium to be heated, an outlet for the medium, and at least two cassettes. Each cassette comprising a first plate comprising a first main surface and a second plate comprising a second main surface. The first and second plates are attached to each other and enclose a respective flow channel for the medium. The cassettes are arranged beside each other with a space between the cassettes for an electric heating element. The electric heating element abuts the first main surface of one of the cassettes and the second main surface of the adjacent cassette. The heater comprises two distance members extending between the one cassette and the adjacent cassette. The distance members define the space.

    摘要: A latent heat recovery heat exchanger includes a case, a heat exchange portion, and a straightening vane. The heat exchange portion includes a plurality of heat transfer plates surrounded by a peripheral wall portion of the case and layered on one another, each of the plurality of heat transfer plates extending in a direction from an inlet toward an outlet. The straightening vane includes a top plate portion covering the plurality of heat transfer plates so as to close a space between the plurality of heat transfer plates in end portions of the plurality of heat transfer plates in a direction intersecting with a direction of layering of the plurality of heat transfer plates when the heat exchange portion is viewed from the inlet toward the outlet.

    摘要: The invention relates to a pipe arrangement for a fluid heating assembly formed of a single heat conductive pipe (1), comprising a stack, along a main axis (A) of the arrangement, of elongate loops (L1, L2, L3, L4) of said pipe (1) extending radially from the main axis (A) in directions substantially orthogonal to said main axis (A). The extension directions of two successive loops form a substantially constant angle between them, and the parts of the loops (L1, L2, L3, L4), in the stack, that are proximal in relation to the main axis (A) define a central channel around the main axis (A). The invention also relates to a fluid heating assembly comprising such a pipe arrangement, and to a portable hot beverage preparation machine comprising this fluid heating assembly.
