HEAT TREATING TUBULARS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17644037 titled 'HEAT TREATING TUBULARS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a resistive heating element that can be wrapped around a component to be heated. A controller is used to regulate the current exchanged between the heating element and the power supply.
- The resistive heating element is exposed and malleable, allowing it to be easily wrapped around the component to be heated.
- A controller is used to regulate the current exchanged between the heating element and the power supply, ensuring efficient and controlled heating.
- The technology allows for precise and targeted heating of components, reducing energy waste and improving overall efficiency.
Potential Applications
- Heating of various components in industrial processes.
- Heating of pipes, tanks, or other equipment in the oil and gas industry.
- Heating of medical devices or instruments in healthcare settings.
Problems Solved
- Provides a flexible and adaptable solution for heating components of various shapes and sizes.
- Allows for precise and controlled heating, reducing the risk of overheating or damage to the components.
- Offers a more efficient and energy-saving alternative to traditional heating methods.
Benefits
- Easy installation and wrapping around components.
- Precise and controlled heating for improved efficiency.
- Energy-saving and reduced waste.
- Versatile application in various industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
An exposed resistive heating element is coupled to an electric power supply. The exposed resistive heating element is malleable such that it can be wrapped around a component to be heated. A controller is coupled to the power supply and the exposed resistive heating element. The controller is configured to regulate current exchanged between the exposed heating element and the electric power supply.
