Definitions
- the subject matter disclosed herein relates to heating systems. More particularly, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to a thermally enhanced heating system and method for thermally enhancing a HVAC system.
- Furnaces typically contain four different components: a burner that produces heat by burning a fuel source, a heat exchanger to transfer heat to the air, a fan to direct air through the furnace, and a conduit for exhausting flue gas produced by the burning of the fuel source.
- the fuel sources most commonly used by furnaces are natural gas, propane gas, or heating oil.
- heat pumps can also provide cooling in the summer months due to their ability to switch the flow of the refrigerant.
- Heat pumps typically contain four different components: a compressor to both move and increase the pressure of the refrigerant, a heat exchanger for transferring heat either to or from the refrigerant, a reversing valve for changing the direction the refrigerant flows, and an expansion valve for regulating the flow of the refrigerant.
- a compressor to both move and increase the pressure of the refrigerant
- a heat exchanger for transferring heat either to or from the refrigerant
- a reversing valve for changing the direction the refrigerant flows
- an expansion valve for regulating the flow of the refrigerant.
- heat pumps ordinarily use electricity as an energy source. Due to the fact that heat pumps pull heat from outdoor air, as temperatures drop, less heat is available in the outdoor air, and thus the heat pump becomes less capable of supplying the necessary heat for the home.
- duel fuel systems utilize both a furnace and a heat pump.
- a duel fuel system automatically switches the heating source between the furnace and the heat pump. When temperatures are more moderately cold the duel fuel system uses the heat pump to supply heat. When temperatures drop below the level at which the heat pump is capable of supplying the necessary heat for the home, the duel fuel system switches to the furnace to supply heat.
- the duel fuel system provides increased efficiency when compared to a standalone furnace and increased capability with colder temperature when compared to a standalone heat pump, the duel fuel system generally is more expensive due to the need for both systems.
- a thermally enhanced heating system which includes an indoor HVAC unit and an outdoor HVAC unit, the indoor HVAC unit including a first heat exchanger for transferring heat from a refrigerant, a second heat exchanger for transferring heat from a fuel source, and a third heat exchanger for transferring heat to the refrigerant, the outdoor HVAC unit including an outdoor heat exchanger for transferring heat from an outdoor air to the refrigerant, a pump operably coupled to the first heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger, the pump configured to circulate the refrigerant, and an ejector including a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet, wherein the first inlet is operably coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger, the second inlet is operably coupled to the third heat exchanger, and the outlet is operably coupled to the first heat exchanger.

- the third heat exchanger is downstream of the second heat exchanger, and the first heat exchanger is adjacent to the second heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger.
- the second heat exchanger is operably coupled to a conduit, and the third heat exchanger is disposed within the conduit.
- the outdoor HVAC unit further includes a valve operably coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger and the first heat exchanger.
- the outdoor HVAC unit further includes a fan.
- the fuel source includes at least one of: a natural gas, propane, and a heating oil.
