- the complexing agent releases "tied up" portions of fuel, thereby replenishing the supply of uncomplexed fuel available to react. It will be appreciated that reversible complex formation provides a means to tailor or adapt a single-use chemical heater to the ability of an object being heated to absorb heat so as to avoid excessively high temperature, thereby slowing heat generation as needed and providing slower and longer lasting heating. It is believed that an approximate balance is maintained between the complexed and uncomplexed fuel throughout the course of the reaction.

- the heater's container is designed to include a space for vapor above the reactants when the heat pack is in use.
- the first compartment 8 contains an aqueous solution of fuel and complexing agent and the second compartment 9 includes an oxidizing agent. Fuel in the first compartment 8 is complexed with the complexing agent so that only a portion of the fuel in the first compartment is uncomplexed. When a user compromises the separator 7, the aqueous solution containing fuel and complexing agent is permitted to flow into the second compartment 9 and to mix with the oxidizer. Uncomplexed portions of the fuel react with the oxidizing agent. As the uncomplexed portions of fuel react, complexed fuel is released essentially to replenish a supply of fuel to react with the oxidizing agent.

- the two types of zones are separated, for example, by a frangible seal that is meant for single use.
- frangible seal between the two zones When the frangible seal between the two zones is ruptured, the fuel solution flows to the oxidizing agent pellets and reaction occurs.
- the rate of reaction, and hence the rate of heat production, is moderated by the rate of dissolution of the binding agent, as dissolution is required to expose the oxidizer to the fuel.

- a first frangible separator is disposed between the first zone and the second zone, the first frangible separator being manually operable to provide communication therebetween, defining a reaction chamber comprising at least one of said first and second chambers.
- a second frangible separator is provided that is responsive to an exothermic chemical reaction within the reaction chamber. The second frangible separator is operable to provide vapor communication between the reaction chamber and the third zone.
- Communication between the first zone and the second zone allows mixing of the fuel and the oxidizing agent to initiate an exothermic chemical reaction capable of generating a vapor and an environmental parameter associated with the exothermic chemical reaction operates the second frangible separator, permitting said vapor to flow into said third zone, thereby reducing pressure in the reaction chamber.

- FIG. 2 illustrates a prototype heater assembly that was used to conduct the experimental work reported in this example.

- Several vents 11 were provided to allow the escape of vapor/steam from the clearance area.
- Forty-five grams of coated potassium permanganate crystals 23 were placed in the bottom of outer bowl 22, residing in the clearance gap.
- the potassium permanganate crystals were coated with a water-soluble barrier coating, so that potassium permanganate crystals would not react until the coating was dissolved.
- the soluble barrier coating was a sodium silicate.
- the coated potassium permanganate 23 was a mixture of crystals having coatings having various thickness. In particular, 25% of the potassium permanganate powder had a coating of 14% by weight, 30% of the potassium permanganate powder had a coating of 17% by weight, and 45% of the potassium permanganate powder had a coating of 20% by weight.
- Three hundred milliliters of water 24 were placed in the inner bowl 21 to serve as the product to be heated. Thermocouples were placed in the water in the top bowl 21 and in the potassium permanganate powder 23 in the bottom bowl 22.
- FIG. 3 shows temperature profiles for the water (indicated by curve “D") and the reactants (indicated by curve “A") for several minutes following the addition of Attorney Docket No. 09155-024WO1 glycerol to the bottom bowl 23.
- Curve “D” indicates that the temperature of the water increased from about 21 °C to about 64 0 C in approximately 6 minutes.
- Curve “A” indicates that the temperature of the reactants began decreasing after about 6 minutes.
- Example 1 The test of Example 1 was repeated using a complexed fuel according to this invention.
- the heater assembly of FIG. 2 was used in this Example.
- FIG 3 shows temperature profiles for the water 24 (indicated by curve “E") and the reactants (indicated by curve “B") for several minutes following the addition of glycerol to the bottom bowl 22.
- Curve “E” indicates that the temperature of the water increased from about 21 0 C to about 64 0 C in approximately 6 minutes.
- Curve “B” indicates that the temperature of the reactants 2 began decreasing after about 7 minutes, representing a prolongation of heating at maximum temperature by about one minute or about 17%.
- Example 1 The test of Example 1 was again repeated, this time using a more heavily complexed fuel according to this invention.
- the assembly of FIG. 2 was used in this Example.
- FIG. 3 shows temperature profiles for the water (indicated by curve “F") and the reactants (indicated by curve “C”).
- Curve “F” indicates that the temperature of the water increased from about 21 0 C to about 64 0 C in approximately 8 minutes, some two minutes or one-third slower than Example 1.
- Curve “C” indicates that the temperature of the reactants began decreasing after about 8 minutes.
- Examples 1, 2 and 3 illustrate that the heating rate of the water in Examples 1, 2 and 3 (curves 4, 5 and 6, respectively) varied depending on the amount of borax complexing agent added to the heating formula. For example, in Examples 1 and 2 (no borax and 0.9% borax, respectively), the time required to heat the water from about 21 °C to about 64 0 C was about 6 minutes. However, in Example 3 (2.2% borax), the time required to heat the water from about 21 0 C to about 64 0 C was about 8 minutes.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a heater assembly that was used to conduct the tests reported in Examples 4 and 5.

Clearance gap 45 extended cross the tray bottoms and up their vertical sides.
- a vent 43 also was provided in outer tray 42 to vent the space 45 between the top tray and the bottom tray.
- the reactants reached a maximum temperature of about 107 °C.
- the steam heated the water in the top tray 41 from an initial temperature of about 21 °C to a final temperature of about 69 °C in approximately 23 minutes. Therefore, the average heating rate for the water was:
- Example 4 While the heating rate and final water temperature for Example 4 were similar to that of Example 5, the reactor temperature was hotter, indicating that a more significant amount of steam was lost through the vent 43 in Example 4 than in Attorney Docket No. 09155-024WO1
- Example 5 Vented steam, of course, represents wasted heat, which was reduced in Example 5.
