Abstract
A dispensing system is provided for heating a fluid in the dispensing system. A method for heating a fluid in a dispensing system is also provided.
Claims25
A fuel dispensing system, comprising:
- a coaxial hose having first and second passageways therein, the second passageway being configured to deliver fuel to the first passageway;
- a nozzle at a distal end of the hose, the nozzle being configured to receive the fuel from the first passageway of the coaxial hose, and the nozzle being configured to dispense the fuel therefrom;
- and
- a heating element coupled to the coaxial hose and configured to provide heat within the coaxial hose that heats the fuel within the coaxial hose.
1 more element
A fuel dispensing system, comprising:
- a hose that includes a first tubular member having a first lumen and a second tubular member having a second lumen, the second tubular member being coaxial with the first tubular member, the first and second lumens being in communication with one another, and the first lumen being adjacent to the second lumen along at least a partial longitudinal length thereof;
- a fuel dispensing nozzle at a distal end of the hose;
- and
- a heating element configured to heat the fuel flowing in the first lumen such that the heated fuel flows from the first lumen into the second lumen.
1 more element
A method of heating in a fuel dispensing system, comprising:
- activating a heating element to provide heat within a first passageway of a hose of a fuel dispensing system that includes a fuel dispensing nozzle attached to a distal end of the hose, thereby also heating fuel flowing in a first direction in a second passageway of the hose, the first passageway having the fuel flowing in a second, opposite direction therethrough, the first and second passageways being coaxial and being longitudinally adjacent to one another along at least partial longitudinal lengths thereof.
