Definitions

  • the invention relates to a porous heater that uses oxygen (generally atmospheric oxygen) as a source of a chemical reactant for an exothermic reaction.
  • oxygen generally atmospheric oxygen
  • Portable flameless heaters are currently used in a variety of applications, such as heating comestible, medical, and consumer items.
  • Some heaters utilize the reaction of magnesium and water to produce heat. While such a heater produces a sufficient amount of heat, hydrogen gas is product of the exothermic reaction. This can generate safety, transportation, storage, and disposal concerns. In addition, the exothermic reaction requires water, which can be tiresome to constantly carry around.
  • the assignee of the present invention has provided oxygen-base heaters and various packages for same. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,722,782, issued on May 25, 2010; U.S. Appl. Ser. No. 12/376,927, filed on February 9, 2009; U.S. Appl. Ser. No. 12/874,338, filed on September 2, 2010; U.S. Appl. Ser. No. 61/583,418, filed on January 5, 2012; U.S. Appl. Ser.

No. 61/716,906, filed on October 22, 2012, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the porosity of the composite heater is an important feature for providing an efficient and effective heater.
  • the present invention is directed to providing a heater that has sufficient porosity so as to be efficient and effective without compromising performance, as well as other benefits.
  • the present invention is directed towards an oxygen based heater with a wet porosity of approximately 15-35%.
  • the heater may also include a dry porosity of approximately 60%.
  • the present invention is directed towards a heater with the wet porosity of approximately 15-35% in a package.
  • the dry porosity refers to the porosity of the heater sheet before the electrolyte is introduced, and the wet porosity refers to the porosity of the sheet after electrolyte has been added.
  • the organization of the components within the heater sheet to achieve these porosity ranges is an important attribute to ensure that the heater includes the right micro -environment for the oxygen initiated reaction to occur and these porosity ranges are an indication of establishing the right microstructure.
  • the present invention is also directed at providing a heater with a wet porosity sufficient to reach a desired temperature in an acceptable amount of time.
  • Figure 1 is a graph showing the temperature after 5 minutes for various heaters according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a graph showing the time it takes various heaters according to the present invention to achieve a 100 °F temperature rise (starting from a 40 °F temperature).
  • Figure 3 is a graph showing the time it takes heaters according to the present invention to reach their respective maximum temperatures.
  • Figure 4 is a side cutaway view of an embodiment of a heater according to the present invention in a package.
  • the heater also includes carbon treated with KMn0 4 as a promoter and a polytetrafluoroethylene as a binding agent that holds the chemical constituents together and allows for a flexible composite heater to be made.
  • a preferred carbon is Ketjenblack KB300J produced by AkzoNobel Polymer Chemicals, and a preferred polytetrafluoroethylene is a powdered polytetrafluoroethylene such as Laurel Product's Marzon-10.
  • the heater may also include additives to improve stability such as indium, bismuth, stannates, or silicates.
  • the composite heaters were activated with various amounts of a 20%> (by weight) potassium chloride solution and assembled into pouches.
  • the different amounts of the electrolyte solution are shown in Table 3.
  • the use of the various amounts also resulted in different wet porosities, also shown in Table 3.
  • the wet porosity is determined by calculating the free volume in the dry heater sheet, subtracting the volume of activator solution added to the sheet to determine the final free volume and then dividing by the sheet volume.
  • the parameters of the test that were measured are as follows: the temperature rise in five minutes; the time to raise the water temperature by 100 °F from an initial temperature of 40 °F; the time to reach the maximum temperature; and, the maximum temperature achieved.
  • the 140 °F desired temperature was chosen as a desired temperature because a temperature of 140 °F is a desired temperature for a comestible when heated from a cold temperature.
  • desired temperature means a temperature that is chosen and which represents a temperature sufficient to achieve the purposes of the heater (i.e., heat a comestible, boil water, melt ice, etc.).
  • Figures 1-3 illustrate the effect of wet porosity on the performance of heater pouches.
  • Fig. 1 shows the temperature rise in five minutes for various composite heaters. As shown and demonstrated by Fig. 1, the lower the porosity, the slower the temperature rise (in the initial five minutes). This indicates a lack of oxygen access to reaction sites within the composite heater. By increasing the wet porosity, it is believed there is more access to the reaction sites within the heater structure leading to a faster rate of reaction and higher temperature at five minutes.
  • Fig. 2 The effect of wet porosity on the time that it takes for a heater pouch to achieve a 100 °F temperature rise in an eight ounce water bag test is shown in Fig. 2. As shown, in the range of 15-35% wet porosity there is only a small impact on the time to 100 °F rise.
  • heater 6 may be disposed inside of package 5.
  • package 5 may be a pouch comprising first sheet 9 and second sheet 12.
  • Second sheet 12 includes a plurality of openings 14 forming oxygen access portion 11.
  • flap 8 Disposed over at least oxygen access portion 11 may be flap 8 (or other similar structure capable of selectively opening and preferably re-closing).
  • Flap 8 may include adhesive 10 to secure flap 8 over oxygen access portion 11 when the production of heat is not desired or no longer desired.
  • package 5 may include side 7 without any openings 14; however, the depicted package is merely a representative package which selectively prevents oxygen access to heater 6 to control an exothermic reaction between heater 6 and atmospheric oxygen.
  • Heater 6 is made according to the present invention, and as disclosed above, is a porous flexible substrate which includes a reducing agent, a binder, and a promoter. Heater 6 is also activated with an electrolyte solution. Furthermore, heater 6 has a wet porosity of between approximately 15-35%.
  • Such a heater will provide a sufficient amount of heat and reach the desired temperature within an acceptable amount of time, based in part, upon the porosity of the heater itself.
