Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIGS. 1 through 8b, discussed below, and the various embodiments used to describe the principles of the present disclosure in this patent document are by way of illustration only and should not be construed in any way to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that the principles of the present disclosure may be implemented in any suitably arranged computing device.

[0019]With reference now to the Figures and particularly with reference to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a fluid heating system is depicted in accordance with an advantageous embodiment of the present disclosure. Fluid heating system 100 includes portable power supply 105 and heating element 110. Portable power supply 105 is a source of electrical power that provides electrical power to heating element 110. Heating element 110 heats fluids in tube 115. For example, heating element 110 heats IV fluids prior to the fluids entering a person.

[0020]In this advantageous embodiment, portabl...

Abstract

An apparatus heats fluids. A number of lithium-ion cells are positioned within a housing. A first connector is positioned on a first end of the housing and opperably connected to the number of lithium-ion cells. The first connector is configured to receive electrical power from a power source. A second connector is positioned on a second end of the housing and opperably connected to the number of lithium-ion cells. A heating element has a tube for transferring fluid. The heating element is configured to connect to the second connector. A controller is positioned within the housing and opperably connected to the number of lithium-ion cells and the second connector. The controller is configured to monitor a rate at which the electrical power is received by the heating element and limit an amount of the electrical power received by the heating element when the rate reaches a predetermined level.
