Atmospheric liquid heater

A mobile atmospheric unit for providing a heated liquid, comprising:

• a liquid boiler means for generating a quantity of a heated liquid effective for radiating heat from a flexible conduit;
• a multiple conduit exit manifold communicating with said liquid boiler for dispensing said heated liquid;
• a pump means for moving said heated liquid from said liquid boiler to said exit manifold;
• at least one conduit, communicating with said exit manifold, for circulating said heated liquid;
• a return manifold, communicating with said at least one conduit, for return of said heated liquid to a reservoir;
• a reservoir, communicating with said return manifold and said liquid boiler for containing the returned heated liquid and incrementally feeding said returned heated liquid to said boiler;
• and,
• a valved shunt means, communicating with said liquid boiler and said reservoir for circulating said heated liquid generated in said liquid boiler to said reservoir.

A method for providing heated liquid comprising the steps of:

• (a) heating a liquid in a liquid boiler;
• (b) circulating said heated liquid to a liquid reservoir by means of a valved shunt wherein said valved shunt for circulating said heated liquid is selected from a group consisting of a dual check valve and a two valve arrangement;
• (c) circulating said heated liquid from said reservoir back to said liquid boiler;
• (d) circulating said heated liquid from said boiler to an exit manifold;
• (e) circulating said heated liquid from said exit manifold to a return manifold by means of at least one conduit,
• (f) returning said heated liquid to said reservoir from said return manifold;
• and, introducing said returned liquid to said liquid heater to be reheated.
