20080230619 | Heating or heating and air conditioning unit with noise abatement feature and method of use - A heater for a heating or heating and air conditioning unit employs a screen positioned between a heater and a fan of the unit. The screen disrupts air flowing from or to the heater to reduce noise generated by the unit when the heater is energized. The screen partially disrupts the air flow between the heater and the fan. | 09-25-2008 |
20090095819 | HOT-AIR TYPE HEATER APPARATUS - A hot-air type heater apparatus includes an air intake for receiving air from an area to be heated by the hot-air type heater apparatus. In particular, the air intake includes a suction fan for drawing air from a surrounding area into the hot-air type heater apparatus. The air from the surrounding area enters the hot-air type heater through the air intake. The hot-air type heater also includes an air passage to direct the air received from the air intake to a ceramic heater. The air passage allows the air received from the air intake to flow into the ceramic heater. The ceramic heater is then able to rapidly increase the air temperature. Furthermore, the hot-air type heater includes a warm air outlet coupled to the ceramic heater. The warm air outlet outputs the air heated by the ceramic heater into the area to be heated by the hot-air type heater apparatus. | 04-16-2009 |
20100270385 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HEATING SYSTEM - A method for controlling a heating system for organically controlling heating of respective rooms to uniformly heat the respective rooms by proportionally calculating heat supplies required by the respective rooms from temperature of returned water, even when the heat supplies required by the respective rooms are different from each other, depending on external conditions of the respective rooms. The method adjusts flow rates of heating water supplied to the respective rooms by adjusting opening rates of room valves installed in heating water pipes. The temperature of the returned heating water is measured, a ratio of opening rates of the respective room valves is calculated from the measured temperature of the returned water to proportionally supply heat to the respective rooms, and the opening rates of the respective room valves are adjusted, depending on the calculated ratio of the opening rates. | 10-28-2010 |
20130334329 | Method for Heating an Interior of a Motor Vehicle - A method for heating an interior of a motor vehicle having a fuel cell, a climate measuring device by which a climate parameter of the interior of the motor vehicle is measured, and a heat transfer device for transferring heat that is generated by the fuel cell to the interior of the motor vehicle. At least one operating parameter of the fuel cell is set also as a function of the climate parameter of the interior of the motor vehicle so that the rate of the heat that is generated by the fuel cell depends on the operating parameter. | 12-19-2013 |
20140217191 | VAPOR VACUUM CONDENSING BOILER DESIGNS - One embodiment of the present invention is a boiler for boiling water to produce steam, having (1) an evaporating section comprising (a) a combustion chamber for burning fuel with air and generating hot flue gas, (b) an evaporating heat exchanger around the combustion chamber for exchanging heat between the flue gas and water to produce the steam which exits the boiler; and (2) a condensing section comprising (c) a condensing heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the hot flue gas from the combustion chamber and a low-temperature water return having a temperature below approximately 100° F., generating flue gas condensate, which leaves the boiler, wherein the low-temperature water return is heated by the hot flue gas in the condensing heat exchanger before entering the evaporating heat exchanger for additional heating. The disclosed vacuum condensing boilers make vapor vacuum steam more efficient and economical for industrial, commercial, and home applications. | 08-07-2014 |
20150377495 | METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS OPERATION OF RADIATOR AND APPLIANCE MICROBOILER - A method for autonomous operation of a radiator and the appliance microboiler, independently and without its removal or disconnection from the heating installation, giving the possibility to operation as single radiator or alternatively within the system where it is installed. The microboiler appliance ( | 12-31-2015 |
