A closed loop heat therapy blanket provided for warming a patient to prevent or treat hypothermia. The closed loop heat therapy blanket includes first and second sheets secured to each other such as to define a supply manifold, at least one supply duct, a return manifold and a return duct. The first sheet defines a supply inlet opening into the supply manifold and a return outlet opening from the return duct. Heated air is introduced into the supply manifold and travels through to the return outlet and through an outlet hose. As the heated air travels through the blanket, a portion is communicated through the second sheet and toward the patient. A heat source is provided for collecting and heating ambient air, and for collecting preheated air from the outlet hose. In one embodiment, a humidifier is provided for controlling the moisture in the air being directed toward the patient.

The present invention relates to a heat therapy appliance (2) for treatment of neonates, with a lying surface on a platform (4) bordered by side walls (8), with a hood (10a, 10b) which is movable between a closed position, in which it bears on the side walls and covers the lying surface for incubator operation, and an open position, in which it frees the bordered lying surface to allow open nursing care, with a radiant heater (14) which is secured on the appliance structure and is directed at the bordered lying surface, with lifting devices (6a, 6b) acting on the platform, and with a control device which is designed to make the angle of inclination of the platform with respect to the horizontal adjustable by actuation of the lifting devices. According to the invention, provision is made that the platform (4) is mounted so as to be adjustable in height, and the control device is also designed, by actuation of the lifting devices (6a, 6b) in the same direction, to make the vertical position of the platform with respect to the side walls adjustable at least between a first position and a second position higher than the first position.

The invention relates to a thermal energy water circulation system. According to the thermal energy water circulation system, water vapor is utilized for pushing water to flow circularly and transfer heat. In order to overcome defects in the prior art, the thermal energy water circulation system which can automatically expel air when the air remains in a heating container, and can heat such objects with a water circulation heat transfer function as a water heat blanket, a water heat pad, a water heat kang plate and heat therapy products is provided. In the thermal energy water circulation system, the heating container communicates with a water outlet connecting pipe; the water outlet connecting pipe communicates with a heat dissipating pipe; the heat dissipating pipe communicates with a water inlet connecting pipe; the water inlet connecting pipe communicates with a water storage tank; and the water storage tank communicates with the heating container through a water return connecting pipe and a water return one-way valve. The thermal energy water circulation system is characterized by further comprising a water pump; the water pump communicates with the water storage tank and the heating container; when air remains in the heating container, heating without water is performed, and the temperature of the heating container is increased to 100 DEG C or above, the water pump starts working and supplies water into the heating container; and when the temperature of the heating container is decreased, the water pump stops working.
