Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A water heater for an aircraft beverage brewing apparatus includes a three way electrical conduit for conducting electrical power in three separate phases. The heater has a housing with a fluid inlet port at a first removable end piece and a fluid outlet port at a second removable end piece. The hollow cylindrical core incorporates a heating element wound around the core, and the housing includes three resettable temperature sensors at the outlet, each of the three resettable temperature sensors connected to a separate phase of power from the three way electrical conduit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1 . A water heater for an aircraft beverage brewing apparatus, comprising: a three way electrical conduit for conducting electrical power in three separate phases; a housing coupled to the three way electrical conduit, the housing including a body, a first removable end piece, and a second removable end piece; a fluid inlet port at the first removable end piece and a fluid outlet port at the second removable end piece; a hollow cylindrical core disposed in the housing between the first and second removable end pieces, the hollow cylindrical core including a heating element wound around the core from a first end to a second end; and first, second, and third resettable temperature sensors disposed on the second removable end piece, each of the first, second, and third resettable temperature sensors connected to a separate phase of power from the three way electrical conduit. 2 . The water heater of claim 1 , wherein the hollow cylindrical core is plastic. 3 . The water heater of claim 1 , wherein the first and second removable end pieces include a threaded stem that engages a tapped hole at the respective end of the core. 4 . The water heater of claim 1 , wherein each phase in the three-phase power has a maximum 805 Watts. 5 . The water heater of claim 4 , where the operating temperature of the heater is 195° F. 6 . The water heater of claim 1 , wherein each phase in the three-phase power has a maximum 533 Watts. 7 . The water heater of claim 6 , where the operating temperature of the heater is 300° F.
