    摘要: An embodiment of a rail switch heating system is disclosed, including a controller comprising a processor and memory, an electrically resistive heating element coupled to the controller, the heating element configured for mounting to and heating a railroad rail, and software stored on the memory for executing the steps of: (a) automatically determining a pulse width modulated (PWM) cycle corresponding to a target energy consumption for cycling the heating element on and off; and (b) cycling the heating element on and off according to the PWM cycle.

    摘要: A heating system for a train track rail, coal car, and other comparable units contains a main power supply, a system control unit, a plurality of environmental sensors, and a plurality of induction heating units. The plurality of environmental sensors is used to maintain a constant feedback of the environment the heating system is used in. Each of the plurality of induction heating units includes a heating head which is used to generate heat. In particular, the heating head generates heat through a pancake induction coil. The generated heat is used to melt snow or ice which accumulates on the train track rail. Since each of the plurality of induction heating units can be controlled individually, energy usage is minimized.

    摘要: A track rail heating assembly that is adapted to position a heater element in spaced relation proximate to a surface of a track rail of a railroad. The assembly includes at least one heating element, and a housing that is operable to at least partially surround the heating element while positioning the heating element near to track rail. The hood positions the heating element relative to the rail section such that a gap exists between the heating element and the rail section. As the heating element does not contact the rail, the heating element cannot form an electrical by-pass for signals passing through the rail section. The assembly further incorporates a flexible barrier that at least partially isolates a side surface of the track rail from ambient conditions to reduce heat loss.

    摘要: The invention relates to a heat transfer unit (1) for heating systems and surfaces, which can be connected to at least one geothermal energy probe (21) as a heat source (2) operating with a multi-phase working fluid and to a component to be heated, and which comprises at least one heat exchanger (11) and transport lines (12) for the gaseous or liquid working fluid. At least one gas-tight heat exchanger (11) is designed in module form having a plurality of directly adjoining modular mini-channels (111), depending on the power requirements, in a planar arrangement for transferring the latent heat arising from the heat source (2) from the heated gaseous portion of the working fluid to the component (3) to be heated, said mini-channels (111) being connected to at least one supply channel (114, 115) and having a diameter of 0.3 to 6 mm. The heat transfer unit (1) can be integrated into the region of a switch blade (32) as a railway point heater.
