6 Claims.
My invention relates to a heating (and cooling) system operable in conjunction with a conventional fireplace such as is commonly found in-homes or other buildings. The improvements 5 hereinafter described are advantageous for use where the system is tofurnish auxiliary heat, or where on account of climatic conditions only a moderate amount of heat is required.
For its objects, my invention aims to provide 10 a heating system which may utilize heat from fuel which is burned in an open fireplace, and circulate such heat to desired points of discharge into the building; a system which is relatively inexpensive to install and maintain, and the 15 presence of which may be effectively concealed; a system in which provision. may be made for humidification of the heated air which is discharged into various rooms of the building rooms; and a system which may be converted 2 into a cooling system, when the weather is warm, without requiring any adjustments other than the opening or closing of certain dampers. These and other objects as will hereinafter appear, may be realized from a heating system such as 25 is described in the accompanying drawings wherein Figure l is a vertical section through two fioors of a building, showing therein a fireplace and chimney with which is incorporated certain 30 drums into which heat is conducted from the fireplace, together with a system of ducts, both discharge and return, by which heated air is delivered to distant points and cool air is returned to be heated in the drums for recirculation through the system;
Fig. 2 is a detail in section taken on line 22 of Fi 1;
Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of one of the heating drums which is adapted for fitting 40 against a side of the fireplace;
Fig. 4 which is a view similar to Fig. 1 shows a generally similar heating system with which is incorporated a humidifier; and
Fig. 5 which is a detail in section shows a 45 modification of the duct system by which to provide for circulating cool air.
Referring particularly to Figs. 1-3, I have shown a fireplace F constructed of brickwork 6 or other refractory material, having an open 59 side i through which heat may pass into the room. Extending upwardly from the rear of the fireplace is a flue 8 passing through a chimney 9 and out through the roof (not shown). The fireplace is located upon one fioor A above 55 which is a second floor B with a ceiling I0 in spaced relation therebelow, and a partition C is shown whereby to provide separate rooms, all as is common in buildings of the present time.
Fitted into the fireplace is a heating drum D which may conveniently be made of sheet metal. 5 This drum is in the form of a narrow enclosure adapted to be fitted against one side of the fireplace so as to occupy a relatively small space therein. A second drum similar to the first, except that the ducts connected therewith are re- 10 versed, is adapted to be fitted into the opposite side of the fireplace. Each drum which is closed on all sides is provided with openings on its top and bottom, adjacent its rear and front walls, respectively, where connections are made with certain ducts now to be described.
A vertical duct I5 in connection with each drum top opening extends first obliquely along the hearth roof and then upwardly along one side of the fiue which is desirably of sufficient 2 width to accommodate the two ducts with little or no reduction in the fiue cross sectional area below that which is required for effective draft.
Connecting with each vertical duct is a lateral duct I6 which may be disposed between the fioor B and ceiling In therebelow, or over the joists of a ceiling as in the case of an attic fioor. The lateral duct proceeds on to desired points where discharge openings each controlled by a register may be provided. As shown, one such opening I1 is located in the ceiling of an adjacent room, and another opening I8 in a room on the fioor above that where the fireplace is situated. It will accordingly be noted that the heated air within either or both of the two drums may be circulated through the vertical and lateral ducts to desired points of discharge so that rooms which are remote from the fireplace may receive heat therefrom.
I have also shown as part of this system a floor register 20 which may be located at any effective point, this register being fitted into the inlet end of a return duct 2| which extends horizontally below the floor A to a point adjacent a chamber 22 which lies below the fireplace hearth or floor. The Wall 23 which separates the return duct from this chamber is provided with an opening wherein is fitted a frame 24 having a flange 25 which overlies the wall so as to furnish support therefor. In connection with the frame is a motor M driving a fan 26 which draws air through the return duct and then forces it on into the chamber from whence it passes upwardly into connecting ducts 21 for delivery into the two drums D. A constant circulation of air may accordingly be maintained, the air being heated as it passes through the drums on its Way for discharge at desired points throughout the building, and then returning through the ducts 2| for recirculation and reheating in the manner already described.
Below the motor I have shown an opening over which is fitted a screen 28 below which is a hinged damper 29 adapted, when closed, to prevent entrance of air therethrough. When the system is operated for heating purposes only, the door is kept closed but for purposes of cooling, when the fireplace is not used, the damper may be opened so as to permit entrance of cool air through the screen 28 where it is filtered, preliminary to circulation through the system in the same manner as when heated air is forced therethrough. Accordingly, the only adjustment necessary for converting the system from one which heats to one which cools is to open or close the damper 29, it being presumed in this connection that use of the fireplace will be confined to the heating season.
In Fig. 4 I have shown a generally similar system with drums D arranged at opposite sides of the fireplace with connecting ducts extending upwardly therefrom and thence horizontally to discharge points at selected points in the building. In this construction the fioor register 30 is placed over the entrance to a return duct 3| which leads to a closed chamber 32 over a tank 33 wherein water may be maintained at a fixed level as by entering through a pipe 34 and leaving through an outlet pipe 35. Other ducts may also lead to the chamber 32 as, for example, the return duct 36, the entrance to which is fitted with a register 31 in another room.
Extending upwardly from the tank chamber is a vertical duct 32 wherein I have mounted a motor M driving a fan 39 whereby air which is laden with moisture from the water contained within the tank is delivered into branch ducts 40, one in communication with each drum D. A damper All may be placed in each branch duct whereby to close the passage through one of them in case it be desired to operate with only one duct system and not both (or all, if more than two systems of ducts be employed). The operation of this system is the same as that already described, there being this difierence, however, that provision is made for humidifying the heated air which is circulated and recirculated throughout the building. If in place of water in the tank a dehumidifying agent, such as chloride of lime, be used, the moisture content in the air will be reduced with a consequent decrease in temperature.
In Fig. 5 I have shown on a reduced scale a modified construction of the system first described. Here it will be noted a return duct 42, into which air flows from one or more registers 43 located at desired points, underlies the chamber 44 which is in communication with the two drums D. Below this chamber is a box 45 communicating with the return duct 42 through an opening 46. In the box I have mounted a motor M driving a fan 41, the box being in communication with a duct it which passes obliquely to one side of the return duct for connection with the chamber 34. At one end of the box is a screen 49 through which cool air may be relieved of its foreign particles while passing into the box for circulation with the aid of the fan through the duct 43 and chamber 44 which communicates with thedrum D. A damper 50 may be swung up against the screen to close the opening whereby to shut ofi the cool air which otherwise would enter the system.
In Fig. 1 I have illustrated in one of the drums certain electrical heating coils E adapted, when connected to a source of ener y, to provide heat therewithin entirely independent of the heat which may be received by conduction from the fire within the fireplace. Such an auxiliary heating means may have advantage, particularly in regions where a low cost prevails for electricity and only a moderate amount of heat is required within the building. Also, as by the use of short tubes 5| which lead from the chamber 22 through the fireplace fioor to a point below the fireplace basket or other fuel support, I am able to deliver a constant supply of air with which to support combustiona very important consideration with certain fuels, such as anthracite coal, which do not burn readily or evenly, although yielding much heat when combustion is aided as by the means just described.
It will be observed that the present heating system is auxiliary to a fireplace with the advantage that it may circulate heated air to distant points in the buildingsomething which a firesion for humidifying or dehumidifying the circulated air is also made without requiring any complicated or moving parts.
The advantages of the present heating and cooling system have been demonstrated in extensive experience, particularly in homes of the modest type. As shown, the twodrums are united into a single system, but obviously the ducts in communication with one drum may be operated entirely separate and independent from those in communication with the other drum, as by closing the shutters of the registers 25 or 45. By so proceeding either of the two systems of ducts may be used separately.
