Abstract:
1. A fluid heating system configured to regulate a temperature of a fluid within a fluid reservoir of a fluid receptacle, the system comprising: a processing unit; at least one fluid temperature sensor in electrical communication with said processing unit, said at least one fluid temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of one or both of the fluid receptacle and/or fluid retained within the fluid receptacle; a heating element in electrical communication with said processing unit, said heating element configured to heat one or both of the fluid receptacle and/or fluid retained within the fluid receptacle, said processing unit selectively activating and deactivating said heating element to regulate the temperature of the fluid within the fluid receptacle; an adjustment member in electrical communication with said processing unit, said adjustment member configured to allow an input of a desired fluid temperature, wherein said processing unit selectively activates and deactivates said heating element based on the input desired fluid temperature; and one or both of: at least one heating element temperature sensor in communication with said processing unit, wherein said processing unit is configured to prevent said heating element from activating based on a temperature of said heating element, and/or at least one fluid level sensor in communication with said processing unit, wherein said processing unit is configured to prevent said heating element from activating based on a fluid level within the fluid reservoir.
