Abstract
Insulated kettles, pots or containers are disclosed wherein the kettle, pot or container can be removed from a heat source while maintaining the insulation. The base of the container may not be insulated or all outer surfaces of the container may be insulated with a heat source being located within the container. Insulation may be provided by a coating, shroud or shells affixed to the surfaces. The insulation may be removable. The insulation may be retroactively fitted. The insulation may be one of; ceramics, glass, resin, plastic, paint, stone, metal, fibre, nylon, asbestos, masterboard, wood, rubber, compressed charcoal, epoxy putty, cement, ivory, bone, compressed cardboard or paper, felt or cloth, cellulose, silicone, clay or a laminate of any thermally efficient materials.
Description
S
DescriDtion This invention relates to a novel method of insulating kettles, pots or containers so as to enable the contents to be heated more quickly (than otherwise would be the case were the insulation not applied).
When the heating any substance in a kettle or container heat is lost via the walls, lid or top of the container. This heat loss is costly and slows down the heating process.
To overcome the transit of heat this invention uses thermal insulation on all the exposed outer.
surfaces of the kettle or container not in touch with the heat source.
The invention comprises one or more sections of a preferably non-conducting heat resistant material, which sections, shrouds or shells are placed or fixed or coated on all the outer surfaces of the vessel, which are not in touch with or resting on, or in contact with the heat source (N.B. Whilst joggled' joints are shown on the drawings, the insulation can also be applied as a coating without joints.) The purpose being to insulate the container against heat loss by providing an external coating which acts as a thermal barrier thus insulating the contents of the container.
The insulation is preferably a dense material with a low thermal conductivity. Affixed, attached or positioned over the outer surfaces of the container (those not in direct contact with the heat source) in order to reduce or prevent the loss of heat caused by convection, radiation or conduction.
The fixing of the insulation on or around the container (and the lid where this applies) to be achieved by adhesion or mechanical means so as to allow those surfaces not in contact with *:i the heat source to be thermally insulated.
* The attaching of the insulation to take place either during manufacture or thereafter. * S
This invention has industrial, commercial and domestic applications.
S. .eS* * S : The purpose of this invention is threefold:-5*s * 1. To provide an economic and ergonomic method of heating liquids, viscous materials *5S and or materials requiring to be melted, preferably in metal containers or, containers made from any material that will conduct, convect or radiate heat.
DESCRIPTION.
2. To perform the above functions in less time, using less energy, than would have been the case had this technology not been applied.
3. To then retain the resultant heat in the container for a longer period and at a higher residual temperature than would be the case had this technology not been applied.
It is intended in this way to provide a simple and easy to apply technology, at a low cost and with minimal engineering input, which has the capability to save prodigious amounts of energy, reduce considerably greenhouse gas emissions and save users a lot of money.
