HEATING SYSTEM The invention relates to closed heating systems utilizing a liquid such as oil as the heat transfer medium. In particular, the invention relates to an improved friction heating element and to a method of making the element.
Most residential heating systems possess some or all of the following inherent disadvantages:
1. Inefficient heat transfer.
2. Discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere.
3. Wide temperature differential in the heated area during mild days.
Broadly, the present invention comprises a closed heating system using a liquid such as oil as the heat transfer medium. The oil is pumped through the system which comprises a friction heating element and one or more radiation units which transfer the heat from the oil to the ambient atmosphere. The friction heating element is formed of woven metal wire such as stainless steel and is then compressed into a cylindrical block. This provides a tortuous path for the liquid as it is pumped through the block and due to the frequent frictional contacts between the wires in the block and the liquid, the liquid is heated. The heated liquid gives off some of the heat so acquired to the ambient environment through the radiation means.
It is an important object of the invention to provide such a system which is economical to operate, efficient and environmentally clean.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a heating system for residential and industrial installation which is safe.
It is another object of the invention to provide a heating system which may be used in industrial processing description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a heating system of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a friction heating element of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the steps of the method of making friction heating elements of the invention.
In the drawings, wherein, for the purpose of illustration, there are shown preferred embodiments of the invention and wherein like numerals designate like parts throughout the same, the numeral 10 designates a heating system of the invention generally.
The liquid then returns through a line 28 to storage tank 12. To prevent bleed feed from line 28 into tank 12 a low pressure check valve 30 is provided near the tank. This keeps line 28 full at all times. Control of the system is accomplished by means of a switch 32 which may be thermostatically controlled. A breather 36 is affixed to tank 12 for the usual purposes. A pressure gage 34 is used to monitor the pressure of the pumped liquid and may be provided with suitable mechanisms, well known in the art, to operate a safety switch 37 to return liquid directly to tank 12 through line 38.
In normal operation, the liquid is pumped through line 18, past check valve 42 and into line 19. Then it proceeds through friction heating element 20. The liquid follows a tortuous path through clement 20 and is heated therein. Its temperature is sensed by thermostat 44 and its pressure by gage 46. Gage 46 may be used to actuate control equipment (not shown) to shut down the system if the pressure is outside normal limits or it may be used for monitoring only. The operating pressure of the system should preferably be between 800 and 2,000 psi.
Thermostat 44 may be used in several ways:
1. If there is no branch 21 and heating element 22 in the system, it may actuate solenoid 48 to bypass element 20 when the temperature is above a first predetermined value (too high). Then, the liquid will return to tank 12 through line 38. When the temperature is below a second predetermined value (too low), the flow is directed through element 20.
2. If there is a branch 21 and an element 22 which is similar to element 20 but smaller, a solenoid valve 50 is actuated to divert the liquid from element 20 and direct it toward element 22. Since element 22 is smaller than element 20, the contact between the liquid and the wires is shorter and there is less friction and less heat generated. Valve 51 may be operated manually or automatically to direct the liquid from element 22 back to tank 12 through line 52 or through line 24 to the radiation units 26.
3. Thermostat 44 may direct some of the liquid I through by-pass line 38 and safety switch 37 by means of solenoid valve 48 and some of it through element 22 by means of solenoid valve 50.
The liquid used in the system is synthetic oil such as resistant bean oil, cottonseed oil or similar products. This liquid retains heat better than water so that the system is more efficient. For example, 2 pounds of water at 200 F dropped 40 F in 15 minutes while 2 pounds of the liquid at 200 F dropped 27 F in 15 minutes in the same ambient environment.
By way of illustration and without limiting the scope of the invention, I have found that using 10 pounds of No. 40 synthetic fluid at 2,000 psi., the system generates 45,600 btu per hour and at 1,600 psi, it generates 42,600 btu per hour. In both cases the delivery rate was 1.28 gallons per minute and the electrical power consumed was about 1,500 watts.
In FIG. 2 there is illustrated a friction heating element 60 which is the same in construction as elements 20 and 22. It is formed of woven metal wire such as stainless steel having a diameter of the order of 0.005 inch. About 1,900 yards of the wire is woven into a mass having a volume of about 5 cubic inches. The mass is then placed in a mold and compressed under a pressure of the order of 25,000 psi (FIG. 3). The final compressed volume is about one-half the woven volume.
Element 22 is formed by the method set forth above to the preferable final dimensions of 1.2 inches in length and a base diameter of 0.75 inch. The density is preferably of the order of 0.28 pounds per cubic inch. Element is preferably an assembly of two elements 22 in series so that the liquid is in contact with the element over twice the length in element 20 than it is in element 22. The use of standard size elements in systems of the invention simplifies manufacture and reduces costs.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
