Self-Contained Modular Heater
First Claim
1. A method for heating a fluid without a flame comprising the steps of:
- providing a power source for an electric motor disposed within a modular heater;
pumping the fluid to a dynamic heat generator disposed within the modular heater;
heating the fluid to a specified temperature without the flame using the dynamic heat generator driven by the electric motor; and
providing the heated fluid to an output.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for heating a fluid without a flame. The modular heater (apparatus) that includes an enclosure, a dynamic heat generator disposed within the enclosure, an electric motor disposed within the enclosure, a first fluid connector attached to the enclosure, a second fluid connector attached to the enclosure and an electrical connector attached to the enclosure. The electric motor drives the dynamic heat generator to heat the fluid to a specified temperature without a flame. The first fluid connector connects the dynamic heat generator to a fluid source. The second fluid connector connects the dynamic heat generator to a fluid storage. The electrical connector connects the electric motor to a power source.
