Abstract:
The invention relates to an in-line heating device ( 100 ) for heating a fluid and/or a food product and/or a fluid foam and/or a food foam, the device ( 100 ) comprising a heating cartridge ( 120 ) and a primary heating unit ( 110 ). The heating cartridge ( 120 ) comprises an insert ( 121 ) made of an electrically conductive material and being inductively heatable by an oscillating magnetic field provided by the primary heating unit ( 110 ). The heating cartridge ( 120 ) further comprises an inner heating path ( 124 ) through which the fluid and/or food product and/or fluid foam and/or food foam circulates. The heating path ( 124 ) is arranged inside the insert ( 121 ) so that fluid is heated while circulating through the path ( 124 ) and before being delivered from the device ( 100 ). The invention further relates to a foaming machine ( 200 ) providing a fluid foam and/or a food product foam, the machine being configured to receive an in-line heating device ( 100 ) as described. Still further, the invention relates to a system ( 300 ) for providing a hot fluid foam and/or a hot food product foam.

Claim (Index 24):
An in-line heating device for heating a fluid and/or a food product and/or a fluid foam and/or a food foam, the device comprising:\n a primary heating unit; and a heating cartridge comprising:\n an inner heating path through which the fluid and/or food product and/or fluid foam and/or food foam circulates; \n a heating insert with an inner shape configuring the inner heating path; and \n an insert made of an electrically conductive material and being inductively heatable by an oscillating magnetic field provided by the primary heating unit, and wherein the insert is configured as a sleeve surrounding the outer periphery of the heating insert, and wherein the insert is configured comprising at least two complementary shaped bodies, wherein the bodies are joined by means of joining means, allowing the assembly and disassembly of the bodies; and \n wherein the inner heating path is arranged inside the insert so that fluid is heated while circulating through the path and before being delivered from the device, and wherein the bodies of the insert configure internally the heating path when brought together.
