Abstract:
1. Apparatus for providing a heated cleaning fluid to a vehicle surface comprising: a) an inlet port for receiving an amount of fluid; b) a housing including an interior wall bounding a reservoir in fluid communication with the inlet port; c) an outlet port in fluid communication with the reservoir for dispensing an amount of heated fluid; d) a heater for heating fluid that passes from the inlet port to the outlet port through said reservoir; e) a heat exchanger in thermal contact with the heater for conveying heat to the fluid within the reservoir comprising; f) a control circuit for energizing the heater with a voltage to heat the heater and the fluid passing from the inlet port to the outlet port through the reservoir; g) wherein one or more of the elongated fins abut wall regions of the interior wall to impede fluid flow between the fin and said wall regions and thereby extend a fluid flow path between the inlet port and the outlet port.
