Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reusable heat pack.
- the present invention also relates to a trigger device for a heat pack.
- the invention also relates to a supercooled supersaturated recrystalizable solution for use in heat pack and to a process for the preparation thereof. Background of the invention
- the main principle underlying the heat pack is to use heat generated due to a start of a chemical reaction between two or more chemicals or due to triggering of initiation of crystallization of a supercooled chemical solution.
- the main principle underlying the heat pack is to use heat generated due to a start of a chemical reaction between two or more chemicals or due to triggering of initiation of crystallization of a supercooled chemical solution.
- heating materials are available in the market such as hot water bag, portable electrical bag warmer or battery operated warmer.
- hot water bag hot water is to be poured in the bag which can only be obtained either by using fuel or electrical energy. Further the heat of the water bag does not last long enough for giving any observable effect.
- electrical bag warmer a permanent supply of electricity is needed. This limits the use of this heating device to only such places where there is electricity available i.e only indoors.
- battery operated warmer the battery needs to be charged regularly and needs replacement as and when it gets exhausted. In all these cases another drawback is that the use is very limited and safety precautions need to be taken in case of electrical heat packs.
- a non-conventional heat pack has been disclosed in a US Patent 4,532,1 10 (1985).
- heat energy is generated by a trigger action on a supercooled saturated solution of sodium acetate.
- the triggering is accomplished by a specially designed device.
- the entire assembly of trigger and the supercooled solution is kept in a plastic container made of PVC, polyurethane or the like.
- the drawback in the invention is that the trigger used to initiate the crystallization of the super cooled sodium acetate solution has to have a protective layer of gold or silver to prevent any corrosion due to contact with the chemical. This is not desirable since the material used for the trigger is already an expensive CuBe alloy.
- the PVC material for the heat pack manufacturing has a very limited shelf life due to inevitable leaching of the chloride ion due to the presence of sodium salt solution.
- This drawback is present in the other disclosed inventions as well as disclosed in US Patents 4,572,158; 5,058,563 and 5,205,278.
- a further drawback in the disclosed inventions, except in 5,058,563, is that the supercooled solution tends to flow to one side giving rise to uneven heating effects thereby rendering the heat pack difficult to use by needing to adjust the contour of the pack for a particular application before initiation of crystallisation and resultant heat generation.
- use has been made of an additive to induce gelation during crystallisation.
- the gelation material used in the said disclosure is a water soluble hydroethyl cellulose polymer. This material though giving the advantage of gelling the solution suffers from the disadvantage of being unstable, thereby rendering the heat pack in capable of reuse
- US Patent 5,843,145 discloses a reusable heat pack wherein a mixture of three constituents forming a gel, is sealed in a plastic bag.
- This reusable heat pack needs an external heating or cooling means to give a useful application of the device.
- the heat pack is put in a microwave oven or any other heating means to energise the pack. It is claimed that the temperature of the heat pack is maintained for a sufficient length of time thereby claiming its use as a heat pack.
- the invention proves to be disadvantageous in its claimed use as a heat pack. This is mainly due to the fact that in the invention discloses that the preconditioning of the pack is to be done for a time period typically two hours. This renders the pack as disclosed not advantageous in an emergency practical situation and also in remote areas, where heating means such as microwave oven may not be available.
- JP 58180575 discloses a cooling pack with a mixture provided therein containing inter alia, aniline chloride.
- the mixture acts as an endothermic material wherein the material when dissolved, in water absorbs heat and produces a cooling effect.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a reusable heat pack which obviates the drawbacks mentioned above.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a heat pack with a shelf life of at least six months.
- a further objective of the present invention is to provide a heat pack which can be recycled at least a hundred times.
- Still another objective of the present invention is to provide a heat pack with heat retention for at least two hours.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a heat pack capable of being used for therapeutic application.
- the present invention provides a reusable heat pack, which comprises a soft sealed plastic bag containing a mixture of supercooled supersaturated recrystalizable solution of inorganic substance, alcohol, chemical compound additives, and means to trigger recrystalhzation of supercooled supersaturated recrystalizable solution of inorganic substance.
- the plastic bag is made of polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride.
- the inorganic substance is selected from sodium acetate and calcium nitrate.
- the supercooled supersaturated recrystalizable solution of inorganic substance is made in good quality water.
- the good quality water is bacteria free municipal supply or distilled water.
- the alcohol is selected from ethylene glycol and glycerol.
- the chemical additive comprises an organic amine.
- the organic amine comprises aniline.
- the supercooled supersaturated recrystalizable solution comprises a mixture of hydrated salt of sodium acetate 50 - 70 wt%, ethylene glycol 1 - 10 wt%, aniline 10 - 20 wt% and water 10 - 29 wt%.
- the means for triggering recrystalhzation comprises a mechanical device selected from the group consisting of crocodile clip and a safety pin.
- the material of the means for trigger comprises a noncorrosive material.
- the non-corrosive material for the trigger means comprises stainless steel.
- the heat pack has a shelf life of at least six months. In still another embodiment of the invention the heat pack is capable of being recycled for at least 100 cycles.
- the heat pack retains heat for at least two hours.
- the heat pack is used for therapeutic applications, body warming in high altitudes.
- the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a reusable heat pack said process comprising preparing a hydrated solution of an inorganic substance in water, adding an alcohol to this solution and mixing thoroughly, adding aniline and thoroughly mixing the resultant mixture, enclosing the mixture in a soft sealed plastic bag and adding a trigger means thereto.
- the present invention also relates to a mixture for use in reusable heat packs, said mixture comprising a solution of an inorganic substance in water, alcohol and aniline.
- the mixture comprises a mixture of hydrated salt of sodium acetate 50 - 70 wt%, ethylene glycol 1 - 10 wt%, aniline 10 - 20 wt% and water 10 - 29 wt%.
- the invention also relates to process for the preparation of a mixture for use in reusable heat packs, said process comprising preparing a hydrated solution of an inorganic substance in water, adding an alcohol to this solution and mixing thoroughly, adding aniline and thoroughly mixing the resultant mixture
- the mixture of the invention for use in a reusable heat pack is a synergistic admixture with properties over and above the aggregation of properties of the individual constituents and is not a simple admixture.
- a hydrated solution of preferably sodium acetate of a preferred purity of was prepared in ordinary water by mixing 500-7-00 gms. in 0.1 to 0.3 liters of water.
- the solution was prepared by thoroughly mixing sodium acetate in water.
- a polyhydric alcohol and preferably ethylene glycol was thoroughly mixed and to this was then added another additive and preferably aniline and the resultant mixture was thoroughly mixed.
- the addition of polyhydric alcohol is to provide smoothness to the recrystallised supercooled saturated solution of sodium acetate. This is achieved by controlled increase in viscosity of the resulting mixture after recrystallisation due to triggering action by a mechanical device.
- aniline in the mixture of the heat pack increases the shelf life of the heat pack and also to give the unique property of recyclability of the heat pack.
- the mixture After the mixture has been prepared the same is poured into a plastic bag of preferred dimension of 100mm 2 and made of thin sheet of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- aniline as an additive gives the desired property of preventing the leaching of the plastic material and thereby enhancing the shelf life.
- a stainless steel crocodile clip is inserted in the heat pack and then finally sealed from the open end
- the heat pack is now ready having typical contents, but not limited to, of hydrated salt of sodium acetate 50wt%, ethylene glycol lwt%, aniline 20wt% and water 29 wt%.
- the recrystallisation activity was initiated by softly pressing the crocodile clip and instantaneously releasing the same. The re crystallization took place and instantaneously heat was generated over the entire heat pack. This heat pack could be easily contoured over a body part and the part warmed thereby.
- the temperature of the. pack was 45°C above ambient and maintained for about two to three hours depending on the size of the heat pack In a typical therapeutic application, after energizing the pack the same is wrapped in a towel and applied on the patient. The cooling of the pack to ambient took place in about four hours time. The pack was reactivated by putting the same in hot water resulting in melting of the crystallized content of the pack and then taking it out from hot water and cooled to ambient temperature. This way the heat pack was ready for use again.
- the principle underlying the invention is that the formation of the hydrated salt results in an endothermic reaction absorbing heat of crystallization.
- the heat of crystallization is released to the container thereby heating the exterior surface of the container.
- the temperature attainable with the heat pack can be fixed by the amount of the supercooled supersaturated solution of the hydrated salt. Accordingly the shelf life of the device will also be adjusted by correspondingly increasing the quantity of the aniline or any of the other additives like hydroxides or carbonates.
- the novelty of the present invention lies in the heat pack being reusable and having a long shelf life and being capable of recyclable.
- This novelty of the heat pack is due to the inventive step of adding hydroxides, carbonates or amines to the recrystallizable mixture.
- the heat pack is manufactured by first dissolving hydrated salt of sodium acetate in water. Ethylene glycol was added to this This was mixed thoroughly and to this aniline was added. Again the mixture was thoroughly mixed and then poured in a plastic bag of PVC.
- the trigger used is a stainless steel crocodile clip and is put inside the bag and then the whole assembly was sealed.
- Heat pack contained hydrated salt of sodium acetate 50 wt%, ethylene glycol lwt%, aniline 20 wt% and water 29 wt%. Triggering action was done by pressing the clip three times. The crystallization resulted in instantaneous temperature rise to 75°C.
- Example 2 The cooling of the pack to reach to ambient temperature took place in about four hours time.
- Heat pack contained hydrated salt of sodium acetate 60 wt%, ethylene glycol 4wt%, aniline 15 wt% and water 21 wt%.
- the triggering action was done by pressing the clip three times.
- the crystallization resulted in instantaneous temperature rise to 65°C.
- the cooling of the pack to reach to ambient temperature took place in about four hours time.
- Heat pack contained hydrated salt of sodium acetate 70 wt%, ethylene glycol 6wt%, aniline 10 wt% and water 14 wt%.
- the triggering action was done by pressing the clip three times.
- the crystallization resulted in instantaneous temperature rise to 75°C.
- the cooling of the pack, to reach to ambient temperature took place in about four hours time.
