Abstract From the Canadian patent

A tank heater control that will control a heater used for heating pressurised tanks over a broad range of temperatures. The system uses a sensor for providing a signal to a processor in which the signal is indicative of flow of gas from the tank. The processor energizes the heater when gas flows from the tank. In various embodiments the sensor may be a flow sensor on an outlet from the tank temperature sensors that detect a difference in temperature of the tank from ambient temperature or a pressure sensor on an outlet from the tank.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 6, 2003 and granted February 19, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 6, 2023.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 6, 2025.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
