Definitions
- the invention concerns a friction heat generator.
- a friction heat generator comprising inner and outer hollow drums arranged in telescoped disposition for relative rotation about a vertical axis, the said drums having opposed circumferential faces spaced apart by a fixed clearance of small dimension to define an upstanding, annular liquid receptacle and further having bottom walls arranged in spaced apart disposition to form a shallow liquid receptacle to receive a supply of oil which normally occupies only said shallow liquid receptacle but which, on relative rotation between the drums, rises into the annular liquid receptacle to transfer frictional heat to the drums, and electric motor means operatively connected to one said drum to rotate the same on a vertical axis relative to the other said drum at substantial speed.
- the invention also includes the method of generating heat by means of an outer, stationary, member and an inner member, rotatably mounted within said outer member, there being a supply of oil within said outer member, said method comprising the steps of forming said members as hollow drums, one telescoped within the other, and both upstanding vertically so that the inner drum rotates on a central vertical axis relative to the outer drum and so that there is a clearance space between drums of only small dimension limiting the supply of oil within said outer drum to a predetermined quantity so that it normally occupies only the bottom of the said clearance space and then rotating said inner drum at substantial speed within said outer drum to heat said oil, cause it to rise up into said clearance space and transfer heat to said outer drum.
- Friction heat is generated not by two metal, or other, surfaces contacting each other, but by the contact of the opposing surfaces with the oil which not only lubricates but generates heat.
- Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate an embodiment of the friction heat heater 20 of the invention which includes an upstanding, hollow, cylindrical housing 21 formed of imperforate sheet metal 22 and having legs 23 for supporting it on a floor 24 of a building.
- the space heater 20 is portable and in the portable embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 the housing 21 is of predetermined diameter of about twelve inches and of predetermined height of about thirty-two inches.
- hollow cylindrical casing 27 which is of predetermined diameter less than the diameter of the housing, such as ten inches, and is formed of aluminium sheeting 28 for efficient transfer of heat.
- the cylindrical side wall 29, top wall 31 and bottom wall 32 of casing 27 are imperforate to form a sealed enclosure except for the filter tube 33, which is closed by a removable threaded cap 34.
- the casing 27 divides housing 21 into the lower air heating chamber 35 which occupies such casing, and an upper fan chamber 36, there being an annular air chamber 37 formed between the cylindrical side wall 29 of the casing and the coaxial, concentric cylindrical side wall 38 of the housing 21.
- Air inlet means 39 is provided in the lower portion of the housing 21 in the form of spaced apertures 41 extending around the cylindrical side wall 38 and air outlet means 42 is provided in the top 43 of the housing in the form of apertures 44.
- the annular air chamber 37 connects the air inlet means to the air outlet means of the fan chamber 36.
- a reversible electric motor 45 is mounted in the fan chamber 36 with an eight-bladed fan 46 fast on one end 47 of the motor shaft 48, each blade being of about 25° pitch and the motor being about one horse power for rotating the shaft 48 at between 1800-3600 R.P.M..
- motor shaft 48 extends into the air heating chamber 35 to rotate the hollow, cylindrical drum 51 which is supported in suitable bearings 52 for rotating around the central, vertical axis of the casing 27 and housing 21.
- the drum 51 is sealed and hollow and includes the top wall 53, bottom wall 54 and cylindrical side wall 55 ; the walls being of stainless steel.
- the exterior cylindrical surface 56 of the cylindrical side wall 55 is smooth as is the interior, cylindrical surface 57 of the aluminium of the cylindrical side wall 29 of the casing 27 and the surfaces 56 and 57 are at about one- eighth inch clearance from each other to form a narrow, annular liquid chamber 58 therebetween.
- annular liquid chamber 58 is not a passage through which liquid to be heated is continually flowed, as in the prior art. Instead it is a sealed chamber and is provided with a supply of liquid lubricant 59, such as a quart of No. 10 oil, which normally rests in the horizontal space 61 between the bottom wall 54 of the drum 51 and the bottom wall 32 of the casing 27.
- liquid lubricant 59 such as a quart of No. 10 oil
- the motor 45 is connected to a thermostat 62, of any well-known type by cord 63 and to a source of electricity by male plug 64 so that it is energized under the control of ambient temperature by the signals of the thermostat.
- the motor 45 drives the drum 51 at a substantial speed, which causes the oil 59 to rise up inzo the annular liquid chamber 58 to substantially fill the same.
- the heat of friction between the drum and casing is transferred by the oil while it prevents wear on the surfaces 56 and 57 so that the exterior aluminium surface 65 of the fixed casing 27 becomes heated.
- the large diameter, multi-bladed fan 46 is drawing ambient air through the air inlet means 39, thence up through the annular air chamber 37 and past the elongated heated surface 65 for discharge through the air outlet means 42 back into the room.
- a separate electric motor 70 for driving an air blower 71, the motor and air blower being mounted in a lower chamber 72 for driving ambient air upwardly in an annular flow path in chamber 37 from the air inlet means 73 to the air outlet means 74.
- the air outlet means is the intake duct 75 of a hot air heating system 76, so that the heater 20 becomes a furnace rather than a space heater, the separate electric motor 70 enabling the thermostat 62 to initiate rotation of the drum until a predetermined temperature is reached in the aluminium casing 27, whereupon the thermostat automatically de-energizes the drum motor 45 while continuing to rotate the separate fan, or blower motor 70, to furnish hot air to the room or heating system 76 until the casing 27 cools to a predetermined temperature.
