Definitions

  • This invention relates to a portable heat pack and, more particularly, to portable flameless heat pack that includes a single-use chemical heater.
  • Heat packs with single-use, flameless chemical heaters generally include two reactants that can be mixed together to create an exothermic reaction. Typically, the reaction generates heat until at least one of the reactants is consumed.
  • the reaction may be, for example, a hydrolysis reaction, an oxidation-reduction reaction, an acid- base reaction or may involve exothermic dissolution of a solid or liquid in a liquid.
  • a portable flameless heat pack that utilizes an exothermic chemical reaction to create heat.
  • a heat sink made of phase-change material is provided in the heat pack.
  • the phase-change material generally helps to reduce the maximum operating temperature of the heat pack.
  • the phase-change material also helps to prolong the heat pack's useful heating time, helping to maintain the heat pack's operating temperature near its maximum operating temperature.
  • the heat pack is generally useful in places where electricity is not available, or where electric or flame heaters would not be safe, for instance, where flammable fumes may be present.
  • the heat pack is generally portable and is generally shaped like an approximately flat pad.
  • the heat pack also is flexible and, therefore, can conform to the contours of a surface to be heated.
  • the heat pack generally includes at least one of each of three types of chambers: a chamber for the first of two chemical reactants, a chamber for the second of the two chemical reactants, and a chamber for a solid-to- liquid phase-change material. It is preferable that each chamber be formed by placing two flexible plastic sheets atop one another as the pack is manufactured. The flexible sheets are sealed (e.g., by heat sealing or sealing with adhesive) to each other at peripheries of the chambers.
  • the chambers for the two reactants are separated by a manually destructible seal or seals, such as a frangible membrane that can be ruptured by a user to permit mixing of the first and second reactants, thereby initiating the exothermic reaction.
  • the reactant chambers may be placed one atop the other, one within the other, or side-be-side as an initial single layer. A preferred arranged is side-be-side.
  • the phase-change material chamber is formed near one major side of the heat pack and extends substantially across that major side in all directions.
  • the phase-change material is a MasterTM SuperflexTM sheet of wax available from The Kindt-Collins Company of Cleveland, Ohio.
  • the sheet of wax may have a thickness between about 1/16" (i.e., approximately 0.16 centimeters) and about 1/8" (i.e., approximately 0.31 centimeters). More preferably, the sheet of wax has a thickness of about 3/32" (i.e., approximately 0.2 centimeters).
  • the specific dimensions of the phase-change material may vary depending on the requirements of each application.
  • Heat may be provided by an exothermic chemical reaction, such as an oxidation-reduction reaction, a hydrolysis reaction, or an acid-base reaction. Heat also may be provided by the heat of solution between a solid and a liquid, or between two liquids. An oxidation-reduction reaction between a permanganate and an organic compound containing hydroxyl groups is preferred. Heat packs utilizing oxidation/reduction reactions are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,035,230 (the '"230 patent") and U.S. Patent No. 6, 116,231, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. Most preferred is a reaction between an aqueous sodium permanganate solution and an aqueous glycerol solution. The amount of heat produced can be selected by controlling the concentrations and amounts of the solutions. The two solutions tend to react rapidly without producing a gas by-product. It is preferred that the reaction produce little or no gaseous product, particularly little to no flammable gaseous product.
  • one of the chambers includes an oxidizing agent, and, where necessary or desirable, a solvent.
  • the second chamber contains liquid comprising a fuel, and, where necessary or desirable, a solvent.
  • oxidizing agents are capable of generating suitable energies upon reaction with a corresponding fuel.
  • Typical oxidizing agents include those comprising the alkali metal salts of the oxides of manganese and chromium. These include such compounds as potassium permanganate, and potassium chromate.
  • Other suitable oxidizing agents are pyridinium dichromate, ruthenium tetroxide and chromic acid, as well as a host of other oxidizing agents known to those skilled in the art.
  • the oxidizing agent for use in the heat packs of the present invention comprises alkali metal salts of permanganate.
  • the corresponding fuels which are found suitable for the exothermic chemical reactions utilized in the devices and methods of the present invention are organic compounds. Particularly well suited organic compounds are alcohols. Alcohols are easily oxidized to carbonyl-containing compounds by the oxidizing agents described herein. Useful alcohols include primary alcohols, and preferably polyols which contain at least two hydroxyl groups. Such polyols are also readily oxidized to aldehydes and carboxylic acids. The oxidation of polyols and simultaneous reduction of the oxidizing agent are accompanied by the release of significant amounts of heat energy.
  • a preferred fuel for use in one of the preferred embodiments of the heat packs of the present invention is glycerine.
  • Oxidizing agents, fuels and solvents suitable for use in heat packs to be employed in the present device are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,116,231, entitled “Liquid Heat Pack,” and U.S. Pat. No. 5,984,953 entitled “Self-Regulating Heat Pack” each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
  • heat packs can employ oxidizing agents including these comprising the alkali metal salts of the oxides of manganese or chromium such as potassium permanganate, potassium chromate and others.
  • the fuels for use in heat packs useful with the claimed invention should be complementary with the oxidizing agent.
  • the combination of oxidizing agent and fuel should provide a desired heat output, meet government safety standards, and be compact.
  • the fuel comprises organic alcohols, such as polyhydroxy containing compounds. These include glycerine and similar polyols.
  • the reactants can be diluted in a solvent, such as water, in some preferred embodiments, the oxidizing agent is potassium permanganate, the fuel is glycerine, and the solvent is water.
  • a solvent such as water
  • the oxidizing agent is potassium permanganate
  • the fuel is glycerine
  • the solvent is water.
  • the phase-change material is a solid-to-liquid phase- change material and forms an effective sheet extending across one major side of the pack.
  • the material may be a continuous flexible sheet, for example, a wax sheet that is manually conformable to the surface to be heated.
  • the material may comprise multiple, discrete solid units, for example, rods, sticks or granules, that are spread across the pack and held in place, such that the chamber and the material together form an effective sheet.
  • discrete solid units may be spread across one sheet and held in place within the chamber mechanically by adhesive, or most preferably, by a vacuum pulled between the sheets during pack assembly.
  • the chamber for discrete solid units may be subdivided into small compartments by joining the sheets together in, for example, a grid pattern by adhesive seals or heat seals.
  • the units themselves may be rigid in the temperature range of use, the needed flexibility being provided by the chamber. If a continuous sheet is used, the sheet is sufficiently flexible to be mechanically conformed to the surface being heated. Phase-change heat sinks reduce the maximum temperature the heat pack achieves and prolong its useful heating time.
  • phase-change heat sinks absorb more heat per weight than a non-phase-change heat sink.
  • the melting point of the phase-change material is preferably lower than the maximum desired temperature.
  • a mixture of phase-change materials with different melting points may be used.
  • the phase-change material may be supplemented with an additional heat sink, preferably a liquid that does not react with the heat-generating reactants.
  • concentrations of chemicals may be chosen to provide the desired amount of heat for use in cold weather or in hot weather. The useful operating temperatures of any pack are limited by the ability to achieve sufficient heating for the intended heating task at its low limit, and swelling from steam generation or other solvent evaporation at its high limit.
  • the heating method of this invention is initiated by eliminating the barrier between the reactant chambers and mixing the heat-producing chemical reactants.
  • the pack is then placed on the surface to be heated.
  • the chamber containing the phase-change material is placed either against the surface to be heated or oppositely, that is, away from the surface to be heated, as may be appropriate for a particular use.
  • the heating rate at the surface is slower, and the maximum temperature of the surface is lower.
  • the heating compartment between the heat sink and the surface to be heated the heating rate at the surface is faster, and the maximum temperature of the surface is higher, and the wax or other phase-change material forms an outside insulating layer, reducing heat loss to the environment.
  • any convenient reversible mechanical means may be utilized to conform the pack to the surface to be heated and to promote contact with the surface.
  • Adhesive tape may be used for this purpose.
  • a vacuum pad may be placed on the surface and over the heat pack, and a vacuum drawn.
  • a vacuum pad is an air- impermeable pad having a peripheral gasket and an outlet that is connectable to a vacuum pump. When a vacuum is drawn, the vacuum pad presses the heat pack against the surface being heated. If the surface being heated is not horizontal, there should be a means to retain melted phase-change material across the surface being heated, and not have the material run to one side or one corner of the chamber.
  • Vacuum sealing the material in the chamber may be sufficient for this purpose, as will subdividing the chamber into a grid of compartments. Tape applied in a crisscross fashion assists in this regard, and a vacuum pad is effective to prevent migration of liquefied phase-change material.
