Abstract
A variable heatable radiator for use in a fluid circuit containing coolant therein, and which can generate substantial amounts of heat to heat larger spaces, such as in a home or business, while utilizing minimal power to run, and which can be utilized in various implementations and configurations. The radiator can be selectively activated or de-activated by, for example, a cell phone or the like whereby the fluid circuit in the radiator can be monitored for time of use, temperature and cost of use. The circuit possesses at least one opening defined therein on sides of the radiator and top and bottom thereof which is in communication with the circuit, whereby a heating element can be inserted to heat the fluid.
Claims20
A variably heatable radiator for heating a space, comprising:
- a fluid circuit within the radiator for retaining coolant therein, the fluid circuit further comprising at least one opening defined therein on sides of the radiator and top and bottom thereof which is in communication with the fluid circuit;
- at least one heating element constructed and arranged for insertion into the at least one opening and projecting into the fluid circuit, the at least one heating element being removable without disassembly of the fluid circuit, whereby the at least one heating element is in direct contact with the coolant to heat the coolant;
- and
- monitoring means for selectively activating or de-activating the radiator through a remote device, and monitoring parameters of the radiator.
