Abstract
An all-electric pressure washer heater module having a heating coil and a heating element is disclosed. A system for all-electric pressure washing is further disclosure. In particular, the all-electric pressure washer heater module contains the heating element from exposure to corrosion and fouling.
Claims19
A pressure washer system with an all-electric heater module for heating a liquid, comprising:
- a high-pressure pump;
- at least one heating module having at least one heating cartridge in communication with the high-pressure pump, said at least one heating cartridge having an inlet, an outlet, and at least one coil;
- a trigger gun assembly in communication with the at least one heating module;
- wherein the liquid can flow from the high-pressure pump through the inlet of the at least one heating cartridge, through the at least one coil, though the outlet of the at least one heating cartridge, to the trigger gun assembly;
- wherein the liquid is heated by a heating element of the heating module prior to being sent to the trigger gun assembly.
2 more elements
An all-electric pressure washer heater module in combination with at least one identical all-electric pressure washer heater module, comprising:
- a first heating cartridge with an inlet and an outlet;
- the cartridge having at least one coil positioned downstream from the inlet and upstream from the outlet;
- and
- the cartridge having a heating element;
- at least one identical all-electric pressure washer heater module having the elements identified above;
- wherein the inlet of the at least one identical all-electric pressure washer heater module is fluidly connected to the outlet of the first heating cartridge or an outlet of another identical all-electric pressure washer heater module.
3 more elements
A method of using an all-electric pressure washer heater module, comprising:
- (a) providing a heating module with a heating element;
- (b) liquid entering a first heating cartridge via an inlet and entering a first coil within the first heating cartridge;
- (c) the liquid exiting the first heating cartridge via an outlet;
- (d) the liquid entering a second heating cartridge via an inlet and entering a first coil within the second heating cartridge;
- (e) the liquid exiting the first coil within the second heating cartridge via an outlet and entering a second coil within the second heating cartridge via an inlet;
- (f) the liquid exiting the second coil within the second heating cartridge via an outlet and entering a second coil within the first heating cartridge via an inlet;
- and
- (g) the liquid existing the second heating coil within the first heating cartridge via an outlet, wherein the liquid is heated to a desired temperature and provided to the downstream system.
