A system for purifying incoming fluid is modular and includes a heat exchanger module, an evaporator-condenser module and a compressor. The system components are arranged in a stacked configuration to facilitate gravitational flow of the purified fluid such that the purified fluid drains passively for collection. A system for preparation of ready-to-use treatment fluid includes the modular fluid purification system, a preparation station and a coupling device. The components are configured to be retained in a portable carrier that is manually operable for improved access to and mobility of the components. A coupling device can connect the flow channels of several components and can be used in preparing ready-to-use dialysate. A system prepares a receptacle and a ready-to-use treatment fluid in the receptacle.

Treatment fluid preparation system

A heater for heating liquid to boiling comprises a heating element (), a first heating region () heated by said heating element () for heating liquid flowing therethrough to a temperature below boiling, and a second heating region () for heating said liquid to boiling. The second region permits the exit of steam therefrom separately from heated water.

Heaters

A flow heater comprises a heating element () and a first heating region () heated by the heating element () for heating liquid flowing therethrough to a first temperature below boiling. The flow heater also comprises a second heating region () for heating the liquid to a second temperature below boiling. The second region () has means () for permitting the exit of steam therefrom separately from heated liquid. The flow heater cannot be operated so that bulk boiling of said liquid takes place in the second region ().

Flow heaters

A steam generating appliance such as an electric iron comprises a base unit and a hand-held mobile unit which can be releasably coupled to the base unit. The base unit comprises a reservoir for water and a pump for pumping water from the reservoir into the mobile unit when the mobile unit is coupled to the base unit. The mobile unit comprises a boiler and an on-board reservoir for water, wherein the on-board reservoir is adapted to store water received from the base unit under pressure and to deliver the water to the boiler under the control of a user-operable valve.
