Abstract
A radiant heater adapted to fit on the head of a hookah. The heater uses one or more resistance ribbons to generate heat which is transferred to shisha in the hookah. The heater includes a chimney which surrounds the resistance ribbon and provides a chimney siphoning to remove heat when the heater is not in use and a heat transfer plate which includes one or more projections to vent excess heat. Air is drawn through the top of the chimney and is heated by the resistance ribbon. The heated air mixes with cool air drawn through a ventilation space below the chimney and the mixed air drawn through one or more vents in a heat plate. The heat transfer plate and hot air vaporize the shisha.
Claims20
A radiant heating system, comprising:
- a heating element, wherein the heating element comprises:
- at least one heating coil comprising resistance wire;
- where an upper edge of the heating element is exposed to ambient environmental conditions;
- a support structure, comprising a fused support device or a mounting system;
- wherein the fused support device further comprises:
- a fused heating plate, comprising an upper face, a lower face, at least one edge, and at least one vent disposed on the plate;
- at least one projection disposed on the at least one edge of the fused heating plate;
- a chimney having an interior space defined by at least one wall and dimensioned to accept the heating element within the interior space;
- wherein the upper edge of the heating element does not extend beyond the upper edge of the at least one wall;
- wherein the chimney is fused to at least an edge of the fused heating plate;
- wherein the mounting system further comprises:
- an independent heating plate, comprising an upper face, a lower face, at least one edge, and at least one vent disposed on the plate;
- a chimney having an interior space defined by at least one wall and dimensioned to accept the heating element within the interior space;
- wherein the upper edge of the heating element does not extend beyond the upper edge of the at least one wall;
- a mounting block disposed on the edge of the chimney;
- a ventilation space disposed between the lower edge of the chimney and the upper face of the fused heating plate or upper face of the independent heating plate;
- an electrical source in an electrical communication with the at least one heating coil.
