- Harpman ABSTRACT A warm air producing unit in which an airflow chamber and a tank for the bulk storage of liquid are both heated by a common combustion chamber is characterized in that part of the surface area of the tank is exposed directly to the heat generated in the combustion chamber so that the water in the tank may be heated, and part of the surface area of the tank is swept over by at least some of the airflow in the airflow chamber, the ratio of the two areas being such that when the combustion gases have heated the water in the tank to a predetermined temperature the heat loss from the contents of the tank to said airflow is sufficient to prevent said predetermined temperature from being exceeded.
- the warm air developing unit disclosed herein comprises a combustion chamber, one or more airflow chambers through which an airflow can be created, andfiatank forstoring a bulk supply of liquid, characterized in that part of the surface area of the tank is exposed directly to theheat generated .in the combustion chamber so that water in the tank may be-heated, and part of the surface area of the tank is swept over;by at least someof said airflow, the ratio of said areas being. such that when the combustion gases have heated therwater in the tank to a predetermined temperature the heat loss from the contents of the tank to said airflow is sufficient toprevent said predetermined temperature from being exceeded.
- one or more of said airflow chambers havesurfaces exposed directly to the heat generated in the combustion chamber.
- the warm air unit comprises a combustion chamber 1 in which is aflame rim 2.
- the burning gases 2A rising from the flame rim 2 pass up an annular-flue flow path 3 defined by an outer wall 3A and a further wall 3B and escape via a stack 4.
- the annular-flue'flow path 3 surrounds an annular airflow chamber 5 to which air is supplied at the lower end chamber 5 defined by the outer wall 3A and an inner annual wall 5A and air is supplied at the lower end of chamber 5 by ducting 6
- the air in the chamber 5 is heated by the burning or burnt gases 2A passing up the annular flow path 3 and eventually escapes via an outlet 7 where the heated air is distributed through suitable ducting'(not shown) to the point where hot air is required.
- the annular airflow chambers surroundsthe inner wall 5A which forms the vertical sides of a hot water tank 8, the tank 8 has an upper transversely extending wall-8A and a lower transversely extending wall 88 or base tank 8 being of sufficientvolume to accommodate a bulk supply of :hot water, for example to gallons depending uponthe size of the. warm air unit.
- the lower wall 8B OIlbZiSB, of the hot water tank 8 is exposed to the combustion gases in the combustion chamber 1, but that the inner wall 5A which forms the side walls of the water tank 8 are swept over by the air being drawn throughthe airflow chamber 5;
- the storage capacity of the, tank'and enact the tank that is exposed directly to the heat generated in the combustion chamber are such as to provide a supply of hot water sufficient to meet the demands of a predetermined domestic requirement.
- the inner wall of the inner airflow chamber surrounds some of the water in said tank.
- the two airflow chambers may each be of annular shape, the inner wall of the inner airflow chamber having upper and lower closures such that at least-some of said inner wall and said upper and lower closures cooperatetofdeflne said tank.
- the lower closure'of the tank that may be heat generated in the combustion chamber.
- the burning or burnt gases passing up the flow path 3 transmit heat to I both the chamber 5 and the chamber 9, both chambers receiving air at their lower ends by means of a blower 11 mounted at the base of the unit and passing hot air out via exits 7 and 10 respectively.
- the blower 11 is illustrated as being below the combustion chamber.
- the water tank 8 may be fitted with an electrical immersion heater for use during the summer months and may be so wired electrically that it is impossible for said immersion heater to be energized when the flame rim 2 is in operation.
- combustion chamber 1 may be fired by any suitable means and that said means is not necessarily the aforesaid flame rim 2.
- a warm air developing unit comprising inner and outer walls defining between them an upwardly extending annularshaped airflow passage, the inner wall of said airflow passage having spaced apart transversely extending upper and lower walls defining between them in association with said inner wall a tank for storing a bulk supply of water, a further wall defining a combustion chamber surrounding said outer wall and depending below said lower transversely extending wall such that the combustion gases generated below said lower transversely extending wall can act directly on said lower transversely extending wall, the space between said outer wall and said further wall acting as a flow path for the combustion gases around the annular-shaped airflow passage, air inlet ducting passing through said further wall to the airflow passage, and an air outlet opening in the unit permitting air to escape from the upper end of said airflow passage, the surface area of the tank that is surrounded by said airflow passage being such that when the water in thetank has been heated to a predetermined temperature by the combustion gases the heat loss from the water in the tank to the air flowing through said airflow passage is sufficient to prevent said
