Device for heating liquid for one or several washer systems
First Claim
1. A device for heating liquid for one or several washer systems, e.g. wind screen washer system, a head lamp washer system, a rear screen washer system, etc., including a heat exchanger, preferably connected into a return pipe from the engine of a car to the cooling system of the engine, characterized in that the heat exchanger comprises of a central flow through conduit connected into said return pipe and formed of a material of high thermal conductivity, said central flow through conduit being of short length, a further flow through conduit connected into the piping of the washer system and formed of a material of high thermal conductivity, said further flow through conduit being wound in more than one layer on said central flow through conduit and without penetrating the central flow through conduit, said further flow through conduit including a helically wound first layer and a helically wound second layer which are connected together in series, said first layer being in contact with the exterior of said central flow through conduit, said second layer being wound on and in contact with said first layer, said further flow through conduit having an inlet end positioned in said first layer which is closest to the central flow through conduit;
- said further flow through conduit having its outlet end positioned in said second layer which is furthest from the central flow through conduit, valve means arranged between the heat exchanger, the washer nozzle, the washer liquid container and a pump of the washer system, said valve means being operable to prevent return flow of washer liquid from the nozzle to the heat exchanger.

Abstract
A device for heating liquid for one or several washer systems.
The present invention relates to a device for heating liquid for one or several washer systems, e.g. a wind screen washer system, a head lamp washer system, a rear screen washer system, etc, including a heat exchanger, preferably connected into a return pipe from the engine of a car to the cooling system of the engine.
An object of the present invention is to accomplish a device for heating of washer liquid with high efficiency although a very simple design.
According to the present invention such a device is characterized by a heat exchanger comprising of a central flow through means connected into said return pipe and consisting of a material of high thermal conductivity, said means being of short length, and of a further flow through means connected into the piping the washer system and consisting of a material of high thermal conductivity and in that a valve means is arranged between the heat exchanger, the washer nozzle, the washer liquid container and a pump of the washer system, said valve means prevents return flow of washer liquid to the heat exchanger.
