摘要:
When feedback loop control is used for controlling a temperature of liquid at an outlet (5) of a flow through heater, a volume of an ineffective portion (4) of the flow through heater at the outlet (5) constitutes a dead volume which causes a delay in the feedback process. In order to minimize the delay, an insert (6) is applied, which serves for reducing the dead volume by occupying most of this volume. In a practical case, the insert (6) comprises a duct system (12) for conveying liquid from a liquid conveying conduit (2) of the flow through heater to an outlet (10) of the insert (6). Preferably, a volume of such a liquid conveying duct system (12) is relatively small, so that the presence of the duct system (12) in the insert (6) does not spoil the dead volume reducing effect of the application of the insert (6).

A flow-through heating system (1) is described, comprising: a flow tube (11); a plurality of at least two heating elements (12A, 12B, 12C), each heating element being connected in series with a corresponding controllable switch (23 A, 23B, 23C); a control unit (30) having control outputs (33A, 33B, 33C) coupled to said controllable switches; the control unit (30) being designed to generate control signals (Sa, Sb, Sc) for opening and closing the controllable switches such that said heating system is operated at a required power (Pr) less than the power capacity (Ptot) of said heating system by operating precisely one of said heating elements at reduced power while the remaining heating elements are either operated at full power or at zero power.

A liquid flow through heater for heating a liquid (10) comprises a channel (4) and an electric heater element (50) for heating at least a portion of the channel (4). A temperature sense unit (6, 60) senses a temperature (ST1; ST1, ST2) indicative of the temperature of the liquid. A flow control means (3) controls a flow of the liquid (10) through the channel (4). A controller (7) controls in a first phase (PH1), (i)the electric heater element (50) to pre-heat at least the portion of the channel (4), and (ii) the flow control means (3) to obtain a rate of flow ofthe liquid (10 through the channel (4) which is zero or relatively small withrespect to a rate of flowduring a second and/or third phase. The controller (7) controls in thesecond phase (PH2) succeeding the first phase (PH1), (i) the electric heater element (50) to supplya predetermined heating power independent on the sensed temperature (ST1; ST1, ST2),and (ii) the flow control means (3) to obtain a flow of the liquid (10) through the channel (4), and in thethird phase (PH3) succeeding the second phase (PH2), (i) the electric heater element (50) to supply a heating power (HP) in dependence on the sensed temperature (ST1; ST1, ST2) to substantially stabilize the sensed temperature (ST1; ST1, ST2) on a desired target value (TV), and (ii) the flow control means (3) to obtain a flow of the liquid (10) through the channel (4).
摘要:
A shaving element (11) which is intended for use in a shaving device comprises cutting members (10), wherein it is possible to drive the cutting members (10) in such a manner that a size of cutting openings (15) between cooperating cutting members (10) is continuously varied. The cutting members (10) are provided with relatively sharp cutting edges (14), so that a hair which is caught in a cutting opening (15) is cut off when the cutting members (10) delimiting the cutting opening (15) are moved towards each other and the cutting opening (15) is closed. The cutting edges (14) are located at the same level, so that it is achieved that cutting off hair takes place at skin level, as a result of which excellent shaving results are obtained. In various embodiments, the shaving element (11) is manufactured on the basis of a single sheet (18) of material.
