    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: An inter-axial inline fluid heater is presented. The inter-axial inline fluid heater includes an outer retaining sheath defining a first area, and an interior flow tube disposed within the outer sheath and capable of having fluid flow therethrough. Further, the inter-axial inline fluid heater includes a resistance wire disposed between the interior flow tube and the outer retaining sheath, the resistance wire capable of producing heat for heating a fluid passing through the interior flow tube when power is applied to the resistance wire. Also includes is a dielectric heat transfer material disposed between the interior flow tube and the outer retaining sheath and surrounding at least a portion of the resistance wire.

    Abstract: A system and apparatus for precision temperature control of thermal bead baths used in biological laboratories to heat biological samples is disclosed. The system has an insulated outer shell and an inner shell sealed together to form a recirculation pathway. The inner shell has an air extraction port opening into the recirculation pathway and at least one air injection port opening into the recirculation pathway. A fan is in the recirculation pathway and is positioned to draw air through the air extraction port. At least one thermal sensor is connected to a control and is disposed in close proximity to one of the air injection ports. Beads used in thermal bead baths are placed in a mesh basket inside the inner shell. The fan draws air from the inner shell through the beads and into the recirculation pathway, where the air is heated by a thermal element. The air flows past the thermal element and through the air injection ports back into the inner shell.

    Abstract: A flow-through fluid heater comprises: a high thermal conductivity conduit-defining body shaped to provide a conduit that extends between an inlet port and an outlet port; one or more heating elements connected to the body for providing heat to the body, thereby permitting the body to provide heat to fluid flowing through the conduit; a temperature sensor connected to sense a measured temperature indicative of a temperature of the fluid in a vicinity of the temperature sensor; one or more flow rate sensors for sensing a measured flow rate of the fluid through the conduit; and a controller connected to receive signals from the temperature sensor and the flow rate sensors, the controller configured to control an amount of heat energy imparted to the fluid during a period that the fluid is resident in the conduit between the inlet port and the outlet port based at least in part on the measured temperature and the measured flow rate.
