The hydrogen and oxygen gas are transformed back into water and emit energy in the form of heat during this combustion process. The heat warms the heat exchanger. The warm heat exchanger functions in a similar fashion to gas heat exchangers. Air from an office or building is sucked through a filter and blowing system past the heat exchanger causing it to warm, and the warm air is then distributed throughout the office or home through a series of ducts and vents. The water created during the combustion of oxygen and hydrogen in the heat exchanger drops to the bottom of the heat exchanger and into the water hose to be returned to the water tank for further use. | 2009-05-07 |
