Abstract
An apparatus for heating fluid and a method for providing the same is provided. Generally, the system contains a metallic core; a dielectric layer thermally sprayed on the core; a resistive heater layer thermally sprayed on the dielectric layer; a metallic layer portion located at ends of the resistive heater layer; and a source of power providing said power via said metallic layer portion.
Claims15
An apparatus for heating fluid, comprising:
- a metallic core;
- a dielectric layer thermally sprayed on the core;
- a resistive heater layer thermally sprayed on the dielectric layer;
- a metallic layer portion located at ends of the resistive heater layer;
- and
- a source of power providing said power via said metallic layer portion.

A method for providing a heating apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- providing a conductive core;
- thermally spraying a dielectric layer onto an exterior surface of said core;
- selecting thermal spraying parameters for a resistive heater layer to yield a desired resistivity;
- thermally spraying said resistive heater layer on said dielectric layer, wherein said resistive heater layer yields said desired resistivity;
- and
- providing a conductive layer portion on at least one end of said resistive heater layer.
