Patent CA-2791438-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PELLEGRINI GIANFRANCO
IPC: F25B7/00
Filed: 2010-10-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating device with irreversible thermodynamic cycle. The device comprises a low temperature circuit and a high temperature circuit in which respectively a first and a second operating fluid circulate. Each circuit comprises evaporating, compression, condensation and expansion means of the respective operating fluid. The low temperature circuit absorbs thermal energy from a supply water flow for evaporating the first operating fluid. The thermal energy deriving from the condensation of the first operating fluid is used for evaporating the second fluid. Instead, the thermal energy deriving from the condensation of the second fluid is used for heating a delivery water flow. According to the invention, the two operating circuits each comprise cooling means interposed between the corresponding condensation and expansion means. Such cooling means are in thermal contact with independent partial flows of the supply water flow so as to heat the latter overall by means of thermal energy removed from the operating fluids circulating in the two circuits.

Abstract: An ear cleaning system includes a hand held member and a suction system having a shield member and a suction pathway. A soft extension is removably positioned on the suction pathway for user-ear insertion to minimize discomfort in one system. A shielded fan draws air from a position distant a suction access on the suction pathway and thereby draws ear-located material via the soft extension along the suction pathway into a receiving location in the shield member. A  safety mechanism is either removably positioned or fixed about the suction pathway and enables the ear cleaning system to be safely spaced relative to user's ear canal for use with small children or others with spacing needs. The safety mechanism can extend over the soft extension securing the soft extension.
