    摘要: Heat pump configurations that provide continuous heat transfer capabilities without any need for electricity. The overall system includes a rotatable hourglass structure situated within a sphere or ovoid container with internal tracks aligned with wheels on the hourglass. With a heat collection component situated on the underside of the container, the rotatable hourglass, being constructed of suitable heat transfer materials, absorb the collected heat in the lower portion of the container, thereby causing the air present therein to expand, forcing a plunger upward from one hourglass chamber to the other. The plunger effectuates operation of a magnetic switch to release the hourglass to rotate and then oscillate from one position to another until the heat collection operation discontinues. With a coolant introduced within the heated chamber (and drawn through pressure differential), heat can be transferred thereto. The heated coolant is then transferred to a reservoir for future utilization.

    摘要: A water heater system having a running water inlet through which running water flows in and a hot water outlet through which hot water heated in a heat exchanger is discharged is disclosed. The water heater system may include a first connection pipe connecting a gap between the running water inlet and an entry of the heat exchanger, a second connection pipe connecting a gap between an outlet of the heat exchanger and the hot water outlet; a bypass pipe connecting a gap between the first connection pipe and the second connection pipe, a bypass valve installed to the bypass pipe so as to control the direction of water flowing through the bypass pipe, and a controller, in a hot water usage mode, controlling the bypass valve so that the water moves from the first connection pipe to the second connection pipe through the bypass pipe, and in an inner circulation mode, controlling the bypass valve so that the water moves from the second connection pipe to the first connection pipe through the bypass pipe.

    摘要: A method controls an air handler that generates heated air from hot water generated by a water heater. The method includes generating a signal in the presence or absence of an indicia of water flow associated with the water heater; initiating operation of a pump associated with the air handler when the signal indicates that water flow associated with the water heater is at least at a selected level to supply hot water to the air handler sufficient to generate heated air; and/or terminating operation of the pump and/or a blower/fan associated with the air handler when the presence or absence signal indicates that the water flow associated with the water heater is less than the selected level.

    摘要: A representatively pumpless water heater system has an instantaneous water heater coupled in series with a storage water heater by piping circuitry incorporating a fixed (and selectively fixed) bypass useable to route pressurized incoming cold water sequentially through the instantaneous and storage type heaters. The fixed bypass can also route pressurized incoming cold water to mix with the heated water exiting the instantaneous heater for delivery to the storage heater.

    摘要: A heat exchanger is presented that provides for mixing of a process fluid to prevent localized spikes in temperatures. The heat exchanger includes a mixing chamber within the exchanger, where a first process fluid passes from process tubes after being partially heated. The heat exchanger further includes an intermediate shell for passing a second process fluid into the fired heater and for exchanging heat with the first process fluid. The fluid flows from the mixing chamber to other process tubes for further heating.

    摘要: A heater for combustion of carbonaceous fuels comprising a casing which surrounds and contains the fuel immediately prior to and during combustion and a heat exchanger of unique design which is positioned within the casing. The efficiency of the heater may be increased by providing an improved system for supplying pre-heated secondary air for more complete combustion of partially combusted fuel in the general vicinity of and/or within the heat exchanger. The heater may be of the self-feeding type for combustion of solid fuels such as wood and, in this embodiment, preferably the casing is generally cylindrical and the heat exchanger is approximately centrally located within the casing whereby it extends generally along the casing axis and is spaced a substantial distance from the casing wall.

    摘要: An auxiliary heating device for supplementing the performance of a standard hot water type home heating system with the heat produced by combusting a low cost, readily available fuel is disclosed. The device comprises a cylindrical fire chamber substantially closed at both ends and an elongated annular water chamber closed at both ends surrounding at least a portion of the fire chamber in a noncoaxial relationship thereto. Means are provided for plumbing the water chamber into the main heating system, whereby cool water enters the water chamber and heated water is pumped by the main system's pump to radiators disposed around the home. A combustion air passageway is provided for passing air to the combustion chamber. Means for varying the size of the passageway in response to the temperature of water in the water chamber are also provided so as to control the combustion rate of the fuel. Means for supplying fuel to the combustion chamber are further provided.
