Abstract:
1. A method for warming fluid in a fluid system, the fluid system having a fluid tank for storing fluid and a fluid dispensing system mounted to the fluid tank for dispensing fluid from the fluid tank, the method comprising: substantially surrounding the sides of the fluid tank and fluid dispensing system with a heating component, the heating component being configured to convert electrical energy to heat energy and to distribute the heat energy over the fluid tank and fluid dispensing system, the heating component comprising a heat generating element for converting electrical current to heat energy and a heat spreading element comprising carbon thermally coupled to the heat generating element, the heat spreading element being configured to draw the heat energy out of the heat generating element and substantially evenly distributes the heat energy over a substantial surface area of the heating component to substantially evenly distribute the heat energy over the fluid tank and fluid dispending system; substantially surrounding the sides of the fluid tank and fluid dispensing system with an insulation layer adapted to direct the heat energy from the heating component toward the fluid tank and fluid dispensing system; and substantially covering the fluid tank and fluid dispensing system with a lid having an insulation layer for retaining the heat energy under the lid.
