SYSTEM FOR HEATING LIQUIDS

摘要

A system and method for heating a fluid include a base and a cover, and a flexible heating element maintained between the base and the cover. A wall plate can be provided to which the flexible heating element is connected to create a sealed fluidic flow path encased between the base and the cover, which provides a geometry that creates at least one air pocket for thermal isolation. A fluid can then flow through the fluidic flow path in order to be heated by the flexible heating element, thereby permitting the fluid to be heated to a desired temperature within a particular timeframe. The flexible heater can be formed from, for example, copper. The fluid is mixed in the fluidic flow path to ensure a uniform temperature of the liquid at an exit of the fluidic flow path.
