Preheating the air entering burner 44, assists in combustion, provided the air is not heated to too great an extent. Preheating the air to approximately 50 degrees celsius is viewed as acceptable. Due to the tendency of air to expand when heated, heating the air to too great an extend can create an undesirable back pressure within the system.

Radiator 20 is in the form of a corrugated conical shell having alarger end 56 concentrically disposed aboutaxis 38 andadjacent intake end 40 ofcombustion chamber 14, and asmaller end 58 concentrically disposed aboutaxis 38.Radiator 20 defines exhaust end 52 ofcombustion chamber 14 and serves to radiate heat radially outwardly of exhaust end 52 ofcombustion chamber 14.Radiator 20 has a plurality ofcorrugations 61 inplanes 62 containingcentral axis 38.Corrugations 61 are open with the exception of an 18 inch portion remote fromsmaller end 58, which is enclosed formingfluid flow passages 60.Passages 60 have aninlet end opening 64 communicating withcombustion chamber 14 and anoutlet end 66 remote communicating withheat exchange chamber 16.

In order that the flow of exhaust gases frominlet end 64 tooutlet end 66 may be retarded to retain heat withinradiator 20baffle partitions 68 and aspiral baffle 70 are disposed inpassages 60, as is illustrated in FIGURE 3. -
Conical radiator 20 has an iregularexterior surface 72, which can be attributed to the presence ofcorrugations 61, which are present on both the interior and exterior surfaces.Corrugations 61 serve to provide a greater surface area for the radiation of heat.Reflector 22 surroundsradiator 20 for reflecting axially outwardly ofhousing 12 heat radiated byradiator 20.Radiator 20 is made out of materials which are known by the trade name "Ferrotherm 4816". Ferrotherm 4816 was originally developed for use in atomic reactors, and has a composition which includes 79.9% nickel and .29% titanium for resistance to temperature, and 1.2% aluminum for flexibility. The surface ofreflector 22 is subjected to a treatment which is described by Krupp Industries of Germany as being "glo-heated". The applicant has attempted to obtain further particulars of this treatment for the purpose of making a full and complete disclosure, and has been advised that the treatment is a trade secret of Krupp Industries. -
Heat exchange chamber 16 surroundsintake end 40 ofcombustion chamber 14.Heat exchange chamber 16 has two annular rings, acollector ring 76 and anexhaust ring 78.Collector ring 76 communicates withoutlet end 66 of each ofpassages 60. Exhaustring 78 has an opening 80 which is connected toexhaust duct 82. There are twoopenings 77, which permit communication of exhaust gases betweencollector ring 76 andexhaust ring 78.Exhaust ring 78 is smaller in size thancollector ring 76 as the air has cooled down and contracted somewhat by the time it reachesexhaust ring 78. - A
heat exchanger 18 is disposed withinheat exchange chamber 16.Heat exchanger 18 is comprised of two of pipes, 84 and 86, configured in coils. Pipe 84 is positioned incollector ring 76. Pipe 84 is connected at oneend 85 to cold air intake duct 88 and at theopposite end 89 to hot air outlet duct 90. Pipe 84 is formed into ninecoils 92 withincollector ring 76. Anair blower 94 is connected to cold air intake duct 88 atend 85 ofpipe 84 to blow ambient air throughpipe 84. As air circulates withincoils 92 ofpipe 84, the air becomes heated by the products of combustion incollector ring 76.End 89 ofpipe 84 is adapted to be connected to the duct work of a hot air heating system (not shown).Pipe 86 is positioned inexhaust ring 78.Pipe 86 is connected at one end 95 to coldwater intake duct 96 and at theopposite end 97 to hotwater outlet duct 98. Coldwater intake duct 96 is adapted to be connected to a water source (not shown). A manual control valve 100 is placed at end 95 ofpipe 86 to control water flow.Pipe 86 is formed into threecoils 102, withinexhaust ring 78. As water circulates throughcoils 102 ofpipe 86, the water becomes heated by the products of combustion withinexhaust ring 78.End 97 ofpipe 86 is adapted to be connected to a network or pipes forming a hot water heating system (not shown). - To operate
radiant heater 10,burner 44 is connected tofuel tank 47, and air is drawn through fresh air inlet 46 via air duct 48 until the air/fuel mixture is ignited withincombustion chamber 14. The products of combustion pass throughintake opening 42 atintake end 40 ofcombustion chamber 14 and move alongcentral axis 38 to discharge opening 54 at discharge end 52 ofcombustion chamber 14. At discharge end 52 the products of combustion pass through discharge opening 54 intoinlet end 64 ofpassage 60. The movement of the products of combustion alongpassage 60 is retarded bybaffle partitions 68 and aspiral baffle 70 withinpassages 60. When the products of combustion reach the outlet end 66 ofpassage 60, the products of combustion are discharged intocollector ring 76 ofheat exchange chamber 16. The products of combustion then flow aroundcollector ring 76 ofheat exchange chamber 14, then intoexhaust ring 78 ofheat exchange chamber 14, finally being vented out asingle exhaust duct 82. - At the same time as the above described combustion cycle is operating, two other heating cycles are operating within
heat exchange chamber 16. With one of these cycles, air is blown byblower 94 via cold air inlet duct 88 intopipe 84. Air circulates throughcoils 92 ofpipe 84 until it reaches hot air outlet duct 90. As the air passes throughcoils 92 ofpipe 84 it becomes heated by the products of combustion withincollector ring 76. Hot air outlet duct 90 serves a secondary function of preheating the air which enters through fresh air inlet 46 intoburner 44. This is accomplished by placing air duct 48 and hot air outlet duct 90 in close proximity such that a partial heat exchange takes place. Preheating theair entering burner 44, assists in combustion, provided the air is not heated to too great an extent. Preheating the air to approximately 50 degrees celsius is viewed as acceptable. Due to the tendency of air to expand when heated, heating the air to too great an extend can create an undesirable back pressure within the system. - With the other of these cycles, water is drawn through
cold water intake 96 intopipe 86. As water circulates around coils 102 ofpipe 86, the water is heated by the products of combustion withinexhaust ring 78. Water flowing fromhot water outlet 98, is heated and can either be used as such or can be connected to a hot water heating system (not shown). - The output of heat from
radiator 20 is enhanced by corrugations 61 andreflector 22.Corrugations 61 serve to provide a larger surface area for the radiation of heat.Reflector 22 reflects outwardly the heat ofradiator 20. - It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that an increased output can be obtained from
radiant heater 10 by virtue ofbaffle partitions 68 and spiral baffle 70 retarding the movement of products of combustion and thereby retaining heat withinradiator 20. It will similarly be apparent that a greater efficiency of operation is obtained by preheating air intake intoburner 44, and through use ofheat exchange chamber 16 andheat exchanger 18 to give other forms of heat from the same fuel source. It will similarly be apparent thatradiant heater 10, has increased versatility and adaptability as radiant heat, hot water, or heated air can be supplied as the application demands. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art thatradiant heater 10, can be adapted to provide steam heating, by circulating water withinheat exchanger 18 until it becomes converted to steam. -
Radiator 20 is constructed to be able to withstand temperature approaching 1500 degrees centigrade. In controlled tests conducted by the Alberta Research Council, the radiant heat produced was between 1150 and 1250 degrees centigrade, and hot air output was 600 cubic feet per minute at a temperature of 680 degrees centigrade.
