    摘要: A candle assembly includes a support base, a melting plate having a capillary pedestal, a wick holder that fits onto the capillary pedestal, and a fuel element that fits over the wick holder. The wick holder includes a sleeve having first and second open ends. A wick fits into the sleeve and extends between the open ends. The sleeve has a constricted portion, which is disposed between the open ends and has a cross-sectional area less than any other cross-sectional area between the open ends. The constricted portion reduces an effective capillary fluid flow capacity of the wick between the open ends, which may thereby regulate how quickly fuel is consumed when the candle assembly is burning. A capillary well disposed between the wick holder and the capillary pedestal may be adapted to promote a successful relight after an initial burn of the candle assembly. A candle holder, such as including the melting plate supported by a base, may be adapted to promote laminar air flow thereacross during a burn in a substantially calm atmospheric environment.

    摘要翻译: 蜡烛组件包括支撑基座,具有毛细管基座的熔化板,装配在毛细管基座上的芯保持器,以及装配在吸芯保持器上的燃料元件。 芯座包括具有第一和第二开口端的套筒。 芯套安装在套筒中并在开口端之间延伸。 套筒具有收缩部分,该部分设置在开口端之间并具有小于开口端之间的任何其它横截面积的横截面面积。 收缩部分减小了在开口端之间的芯的有效的毛细管流体流动能力,从而可以调节当蜡烛组件燃烧时燃料消耗的速度。 在芯保持器和毛细管基座之间布置的毛细管孔可以适于在蜡烛组件的初始燃烧之后促进成功的重新点亮。 诸如包括由基座支撑的熔化板的烛台可以适于在基本平静的大气环境中的燃烧期间促进其间的层流气流。

    摘要: A self-contained portable heating system to heat a stored liquid in a storage tank to a desired temperature is provided. The system can comprise operatively connected components such as a generator to power a burner that can transfer energy from a combustion product, from for example, a fuel supplied by an attached fuel tank, to a heat transfer fluid through the use of a boiler. The heat transfer fluid can transfer heat from the boiler to a heat exchanger which can then transfer heat to the stored liquid in the tank. The tank can also comprise a circulating pump that can circulate the heat transfer fluid and an expansion tank that can receive the heat transfer fluid when it expands as a result of being heated. In some embodiments, the heating components can be supplied separately from storage tank so that they can be retrofit onto an existing tank.
