DESCRIPTION

HOME HEATING SYSTEM WITH AIR FORCED CONVECTION AND ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRATION

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the heating sector and more specifically to the home heating systems.

The main object of the present invention is a system of forced convection heating using the heat of the chimney through a pipe network that introduces air from the outside, conducts it to the chimney, this air is heated in the pipe inside from the chimney itself integrating into its own architecture and when it reaches an adequate temperature, it goes outside the chimney, heating the living room or other rooms of the house.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE)

In a heat transfer system by convection, a moving fluid (gas or liquid) intervenes that carries thermal energy between two zones.

The convection heat transmission can be:

a) Forced: through a fan (air) or pump (water) the fluid moves through a hot zone and it transports the heat to the cold zone.

b) Natural: the fluid itself extracts heat from the hot zone and changes its density causing it to move to the coldest zone where its heat yields.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention consists in joining the advantages of the fact of taking advantage of the heat given off in the combustion of a chimney to generate hot air not making use of electricity for the purpose of this purpose.

In many applications of this type, the noises and vibrations of the compressors, of the fans and of the possible accelerating pumps to transport the heat from some parts to other of the installations, are annoying and like any mobile organ they have a reduced life.

On the other hand, it must be borne in mind that in any refrigeration or heating installation, the thermal load varies over time, which makes it necessary to resort to systems

adequate regulation of capacity or cut of operation. An installation like the one proposed, minimizes these problems extraordinarily and reduces energy consumption and its contamination. With respect to the prior art, this patent has the following advantages:

a) Noise and vibration suppression, non-polluting, simpler construction and maintenance, more durable and economical.

b) Pollution is avoided by respecting the environment by reducing CO2 emissions, fuel costs and costs are lower.

c) If the chimney is made of gas, consumption is reduced to approximately 80%; if it is made of wood, consumption is reduced up to approximately 60%.

Through a pipe that introduces outside air, it leads to the chimney through a blower where by means of fixing means they maintain a fixed disposition inside the walls of the chimney itself in the form of a serpentm to favor the heating of the air that circulates inside; this air is heated in said pipe that is inside the chimney itself and when reaching a suitable temperature it goes outside the chimney, heating the living room or other rooms of the house. Both the outlet and the air inlet can be regulated with opening and closing devices.

The room temperature can be controlled through thermostats that regulate that temperature.

In addition, as an option and as an extra, a remote control system can be introduced via software in the form of a computer application (app) so that the user can at any time and place manage the system through a mobile device or computer equipment.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As already indicated, and as can be seen in Figure 1, the home heating system by forced convection through a chimney, object of the invention, in its preferred embodiment, comprises a grid outside the dwelling ( 1) where the street air enters, air filter (2) both inlet and outlet inside the house, an access hatch (3) that opens or closes the outside air inlet, a blower air (5) that drives the air that enters from the outside through the pipe inside the chimney fed by a nearby plug (11), the pipe itself (6) in the form of a serpentm through which the air from the outside circulates and it is heated by the chimney, some supports or fixers (8) of the pipe to the inner wall of the chimney, and hot air outlet (9) inside the house and a thermostat or temperature regulator (10) that controls both the temperature of the room and the interior of the chimney ea through two sensors (13).

The pipe is manufactured with a material that has the property of being a good conductor of heat such as metals and copper among them.
