Description

Description (Figure 1) (A diagram that includes all the plan that explain the system stages of operation and the aim of the use).

The Alternative Heating innovation is a pneumatic friction engine that produces a thermal energy directly from kinetic energy by using compressed air as an alternative fuel as well as renewable energy sources or traditional sources, invention's area of use has many wide and widespread uses in heating of the buildings and heating the roads and water treatment, and the thermal energy also has a big impact in many industrial uses that requires endless heat energy , with the freedom of producing the engine in any size depending on the wanted temperature .

Many countries around the world especially the cold ones suffer from the cost of providing energy for heating or industrial heat energy as well as the high cost of water treatment or road heating when it snows as well as loses in infrastructure as a result of using the salt to melt the snow, and it's danger to water and agriculture and public safety, the Alternative heating helps in, reducing the losses of snow accumulation on the roads and the building's roofs,reducing the risks to buildings for the long-term and other energy consumption as long as the accumulation of snow continues for a long time, reducing gas usage losses and other vehicle accidents which results in human and material losses, and the losses of stopping the trade movement due to the accumulation of snow, reducing risks of environmental pollution and air pollution, and carbon capture when the air pressure is continuously maintained to support climate change solutions, as well to reduce the risk and losses of climate change, air pollution and financial and health losses.

As for The alternative fuel (compressed air) the positive properties such as: - Storable.

Transporta ble.

Fast (velocity). - Safe to use with tools (public safety).

- And cheap with the development of the air compressors, production of compressed air with high efficiency and to benefit from the development of smart pneumatic and hydraulic equipment and tools.

Page 1-10 About the engine, the friction happens between the best heat insulating materials, such as (industrial Teflon (PTFE) which is a solid substance with a density of 2200 kilograms per cubic meter as well as it withstands high temperatures 327 degrees Celsius and it is cheap and available also we can use the foam (PU) with high density when lower temperatures are required and it is cheap and available).

And the best heat conductive materials such as ( especially copper , copper alloy which has the well-known properties with withstand the temperatures also copper is a good conductor of heat, and it is cheap and available, there are other good heat conductive materials such as silver, aluminum and stainless steel). ln the smart engine the friction occurs in a controlled manner as a result of the development of pneumatic and hydraulic equipment and tools .

The new engine has many wide uses such as heating residential buildings, industrial buildings, manufacturing industries and water treatment, as well as heating the roads when it snows and frost as well, and the way to melt the snow is by pumping warm compressed air directly through air ducts, with water (heat transfer fluids) will be in a closed circuit in continued circulation of hot water in the engine to the area that needs thermal energy.

And it is easy to establish an infrastructure and quick to set up, the recycled materials can be used with thermal insulators on the pipes, with the ability to control thermal energy production in the sites and production time. lt is known worldwide (prior art) the most common type of energy that consumes electric energy is the thermal energy, whether it is equipment and tools in the heating devices or heating under the roads or burning gas or wood burning wood which can have an impact on the environmental pollution and that have a bad production efficient which is not economically viable, and the Alternative Heating innovation will help to create a green circular economy, and green cities of the future, by creating compressed air infrastructure and multi-use networks.

The new solution differs from the prior art that it can produce thermal energy directly and it is free to choose a location and the time of operation and production.

A successful laboratory model was made and the temperature of more than 90 degree was obtained within 25 seconds by using the tensile force and friction between the Teflon and copper.

With the importance of isolation the friction operational room completely from the outside so it is safe and that will reduce any issues or side factors that may occur by using the Teflon.

Page 2-10 Special part.

The friction engine produces thermal energy from kinetic energy by compressed air , there are many types of equipment that can produce kinetic energy , where the compressed air is an alternative fuel (pneumatic drill or pneumatic metal cutting ) , the main shaft which is called a major main shaft of the transmission and which is connected by a shaft to produce a kinetic power to rotate the main shaft (heat conductive materials), as well as the tensile power (friction) by using the compressed air with the development of the tools and pneumatic equipment.The friction happens between the most solid heating insulating materials and the heat conductive materials, but the heat-insulating materials that can withstand heat and withstand friction in less consumption and long operating life of the material and one of the best material is the Teflon and the trade name is Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and the Teflon with its well-known properties and it is high density 2.2 00 kilograms cubic meter and it can withstand a temperature of 327 Celsius.

The Teflon is available and cheap compared to the cost of producing thermal energy using electrical energy or burning gas or burning wood and heat energy can be produced at any degree of control by air pressure in the new engine with the importance of having smart board with smart sensors.

The Teflon will be in a special design and a geometric shape that achieves smooth friction which will surround the conductive material to ensure full friction to increase the efficiency to produce thermal energy with the freedom to select the size of the engine, which depends of the amount of the required heat energy and the availability of air pressure, the total speed of the main shaft rotation speed to transmission by (input shaft) which is connected to the output shaft also the foam (PU) with high density can be used instead of the Teflon when a lower temperature is required in a design with a geometric shape of the engine which is similar to the Teflon one, and the size depends according to the need of the heat energy, With the importance of isolation the friction room (engine room) with thermal and sound insulators and the insulation materials are available such as glass foam or other products which they are available in the market.

As for the thermally conductive materials, it will be the main shaft in the engine of the heat production and the best material for that is the copper, copper alloy which is used a lot and it is common and available as well as being a cheap material and the most important thing about the copper is the long operating life, and it's well-known properties and density, the main shaft is designed in a regular geometric shape (pipe) in a thickness depends on the size of the engine and the required temperature, and the size of the engine can be in any required size with the freedom to choose the sites for the heating stations the thermal energy will be used in many locations, whether in heating building, heating road ,water treatment or industrial uses, it is a sustainable and green alternative heating with low risks and low cost ,because the compressed air is easy to produce ,transportable and easy to store.

Page 3-10 When the operating stage begins the compressed air that is coming from the tank by a pipe that goes to the operating room to the turbine that produce kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy will produce rotational kinetic energy with the importance of having a (service unit, filtering processing unit, flow control unit pneumatic) to support the control which allows us control.
