Abstract: A wood burning heating system comprises a large hot water storage tank and a furnace or boiler with a water jacket and a vaulted ceiling over a firebox with a refractory bottom and a refractory lining partially up the side walls of the firebox. The volume of the tank is about ten to twenty times larger than the volume of the water jacket, whereby the large hot water volume acts as a heat storage and as a buffer or heat output equalizer counteracting any intermittent heat input inherent in a solid fuel system especially a wood burning system. The firebox is elongated and the door is so arranged that wood pieces of random and substantial size may be charged into the firebox so that the wood is burning while it is in a horizontal position. The large hot water storage tank may receive additional heat input, for example from an electrical heater operated by a wind driven generator. If desired, the furnace may be installed inside the large hot water storage tank. The furnace or boiler with the tanks and interconnected pipes form a connected container system having a common water level and vented to the atmosphere above said common water level whereby the system works at atmospheric pressure and the boiler cannot develop any steam pressure.

Abstract translation: 木材燃烧加热系统包括一个大型热水储存箱和一个带有水套的炉子或锅炉，一个带有耐火材料底部的火炉和一个位于火箱侧壁上的耐火衬里的拱形天花板。 罐的体积比水套的体积大约十到二十倍，由此大的热水容积用作蓄热器，并且作为抵消固体燃料系统中固有的任何间歇热输入的缓冲器或热输出均衡器 特别是木材燃烧系统。 火箱是细长的，并且门的布置使得随机和大体积的木片可以装入火炉中，使得木材处于水平位置时燃烧。 大型热水储存罐可以接收额外的热量输入，例如来自由风力发电机操作的电加热器。 如果需要，炉可以安装在大型热水储存箱内。 具有罐和互连管的炉或锅炉形成具有公共水位的连接的容器系统，并且排放到高于所述公用水位的大气中，由此系统在大气压力下工作，并且锅炉不能产生任何蒸汽压力。
