Abstract
The present invention involves a radiator/hot water heating system (electric) within a traditional forced-air furnace housing, which is connected to the existing central air ductwork of a building.
The radiator/hot water heating system uses a single radiator which is connected to one or more 4" pipes through which water is heated by means of electricity. The entire heating system contains approximately 3 gallons of water. A fan circulates heat from the radiator through-out the building.

Description
HEATING SYSTEM
Field of the Invention This invention relates to a heating system for use in buildings. In particular; this invention relates to a radiatorlhot water heating system which can use existing central air ductwork..
Background of the Invention Current methods of heating buildings, such as houses, include radiatorlhot water systems which use water to distribute heat. Water is heafied by a gas-fired boiler. A pump drives the water around a pipework loop via a series of radiators. Typically 40 gallons of water or more is heated and circulated through-out the house. One disadvantage of this system is the I~ge volume of water that must be heated, and the rapid dissipation of heat which occurs.
Another method of heating buildings is to use a forced air furnace system where air is heated in the furnace and circulated throughput the building via a series of ducts and vents.
In many cases, consumers have discovered that the use of forced air furnaces is too expensive, inefficient, and environmentally unfriendly. Switching to a radiatorlhof water system is preferred but is impractical due to the existing central air ductwork which would need to be replaced by radiators.
It would be advantageous to develop a heating system which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
Summary of the Invention The present invention is for a radiatorJhot water heating system (electric) within a traditional forced-air furnace housing, which is connected-to the existing central air ductwork of a building.
The radiator/hot water heating system uses a single radiator which is connected to one or more 4° pipes through which water is heated by means of elearl~r. The entire heating system contains approximately 3 gallons of water. A fan circulates heat from the radiator through-out the building.

Summary of the Invention The present invention is for a radiatorJhot water heating system (electric) within a traditional forced-air furnace housing, which is connected-to the existing central air ductwork of a building.
The radiator/hot water heating system uses a single radiator which is connected to one or more 4° pipes through which water is heated by means of elearl~r. The entire heating system contains approximately 3 gallons of water. A fan circulates heat from the radiator through-out the building.
Advantages of the heating system include:
1 ) Only 3 gallons of water are used instead of the usual 40 gallons of water in conventional systems.
2) Cost savings occur because less water is heated.
2) Cost savings occur because less water is heated.
3) One or more 4 " pipes are used to contain the 3 gallons of water instead of a water tank.
4) The water can be heated using less wattage. Typically two 6 kw element 6000 are used.
5) When used in combination with an existing network of central air ductwork, the air which has been heated by the single radiator can be effectively moved throughout the building.
Brief Description of the Drawins~s Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the following drawings and photographs in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the system.
Detailed Description Referring to Figure 1, there is a shown the heating system 28 according to one embodiment of the invention.
A radiator 2 has two pipes extending therefrom. One pipe 4 leads to a circulating pump 6. The circulating pump 6 circulates the water within the heating system 28. The circulating pump 6 is connected to the mid-point of a 1-inch pipe 8. This 1-inch pipe 8 is connected at both ends to one or more 4-inch pipes 10.
The 4-inch pipes 10 operates the same as a water tank in a more conventional radiatdNhot water system. The 4-inch pipes 10 contains all the water in the heating system 28, except that which is in circulation.
At one end of each 4-inch pipe is an element 6000 12 which is connected to an electrical source (not shown) to heat the water.
A small tank 16 is positioned at some point along the 4-inch pipe 10 to allow for the expansion of the water.
An air vent 18 is positioned at some point along the 1-inch pipe 8 to atlow for the release of any air which enters the heating system 28.
A temperature gauge 20 is positioned at some point along the 1-inch pipe 8 to monitor and regulate the temperature of the water.
A limiter 22 is posit'roned at some point along the 1-inch pipe 8 to control the temperature of the water.
Also shown is the intake pipe 26 or new or replacement water to the heating system 28.
The entire heating system 28 is contained within a central forced air furnace (non-electric) housing 24 of a building. A fan 30 then circulates heat from the radiator 2 through-out the building. There is no burner like you would find in a conventional forced air furnace.
Ac~rding to ors; embodiment of this invention, only 3 gallons of water are used instead of the usual 40 gallons of water in conventional systems.
Cost savings occur because less water is heated.
One or more 4 " pipes are used to contain the 3 gallons of water instead of a water tank.
The water can be heated using less wattage. . Typically two 6 kw element 6000 are used..
It will be understood that-modifications could be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
