Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This proposal relates to heating ventilation, air-conditioning [HVAC] systems, and/or drying and similar structures, and to essentially energy saving technologies which are clean, pollution free in all their operations and after them.

Conventional heating systems consume energy of high amounts using fuels, combustion, or burning other materials, or at least burning off the oxygen of air by usual electric elements. As a result, pollution, emissions, effluences and discharges, sudden side effects occur being harmful to us and environment. These conventional heating systems have low thermal efficiencies, constant and high energy losses. Heat pumps are generally more free from the said disadvantages but they are much more expensive; their efficiency is waving and ecology depends on used refrigerants These lacks make the heat pumps not very acceptable in many cases economically.

The examples of imperfect heating devices are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,457.083 and No. 4,426,793 both issued to Kuboyama. These patents propose heat generating apparatuses, processes using air friction circulation and general convection. These systems are not efficient and have limited ranges of temperature increase capability because of high energy requirements of friction devices and non-accumulative technological methods.

Thus it is desirable to provide a heating system which is REALLY efficient, doesn't pose any harms to the environment and may be used in any HVAC structure), and/or drying, and/or other heating purposes for any house, building, structure, block—separately or combining with source of already existing and working systems.

Dynamic Natural Heater, Technology using the inborn property of air be heated under the pressure in natural accumulative self-boosting technology, combining different pure air-treating pressing-it-up manners, provides high heat capacity, total efficiency, essential reducing of power supply and costs of equipment for any needed outputs in BTU per hour in multiple versions of units. Different and low-power-units of my technology such as fans and simplified air slide vane compressors working as self-boosters, at themselves in accumulative closed circuits cooperate and interact each with others, providing said above high thermal and total efficiency, ecological purity in natural manners.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of this proposal to provide the effective, high efficient air heating technology with clean ecology without any pollutants or other side effects. It is another object of this proposal to make this technology natural by (a) usage the inborn normal property of our air which becomes hot under pressure; (b) making all operations of dynamic treating air in accumulative manner, cyclically. It is another object of this proposal to provide essential reducing of power supply and costs of equipments—for any outputs in BTU per hour.

It is another object of this proposal to have heaters and technological solutions for any house, building, other structures including vehicles, in multiple versions and purposes including drying, water heating, others.

The nature and substance of this proposal are closed-loop tunnels, closed combined compressed air net-structures, coming cold air propelling structure all placed in a combined heat-transferring casing with supporting devices, insulation, meters.

Said systems work in natural accumulative schemes, their power units operate as self-boosters, work at and for themselves thus providing the common high efficiency and real energy saving. With conventional humidifiers and evaporative coolers, Natural Dynamic Heater Technology may be used for any ecologically clean HVAC-System.

the said closed-loop tunnels and closed combined compressed air net-structures work with their internal operative air which is replenished up to definite levels of pressure inside said circuits from coming to be heated air according to requirements. This occurs when the Heater starts to work and comes to the stable regime.

The Dynamic Natural Heater Technology comprising a combined heat transferring casing 20 which includes placed inside at least by one structure of (a) closed-loop tunnel 22 (b) closed combined compressed air net-structure 31 (c) coming cold air propelling and heat-transferring structure, having a preferably centrifugal fan 34; labyrinth channels formed by baffles, walls of said casing 20; controlled dampers 35; meters 36.

closed combined compressed air net-structure 31 as shown in FIG. 4 comprises (a) a rotary, preferably slide vane air compressor 30 with two intake ports 30F, 30P, and discharge port 30D; stator 30S, rotor 30R, blades 30B; parameters of said compressor 30 provide an independent separate or simultaneous work of the first intake 30F and second intake 30P as well as number of blades 30B in rotor 30R; (b) a common compressed-air heat exchanger 33, compensative and supporting compressed air heat exchangers 33C, 33S—all forming the combined compressed air heat transfer set; the supporting exchanger 33S is placed inside the said tubular circuit 22L; the compensating exchanger 33C is placed outside of circuit 22L; (c) combined manifold 32 with conventional control valves, check valves, air filter, meters, pipes, general control

The coming air is a mixture of return air, fresh air, and bypassing air. This mixture is propelled inside the housing 20 of the Dynamic Natural Heater for heat transfer and getting warm or hot—as needed.

Combined Operation and Interactions

The general technology is shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 6. This proposal uses the natural property of air to become hot under pressure; it's done by OPERATING AIR which is driven to move inside closed circuits in order to be pressed and get hot:

• • (a) closed loop tunnel 22 where double cascade vane axial multistage fan 23 provides high capacity and relatively low pressure for cyclically moving inside the tunnel 22 OPERATING FAN AIR, illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • (b) closed combined compressed air net-structure 31 where the slide vane air compressor 30 provides relatively high pressure and low capacity for cyclically moving inside the structure 31 OPERATIVE COMPRESSED AIR, illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • The fan 23 and compressor 30 work in their said closed circuits in accumulative manners as self-boosters at themselves, thus providing needed pressure of their parts of operative air and rising temperatures inside said closed circuits 22, 31.

Pressed inside said closed circuits 22 and 31 the operating air needs to be compensated by air amends up to definite different levels of pressure and volumes in said circuits 22, 31. FIG. 4 shows how compensative compressed-air heat exchanger 33C replenishes the operating air in the closed-loop tunnel 22. FIGS. 4, 5 show how both intake ports 30F and 30P of air compressor 30 working independently and separately or simultaneously, when needed,provide replenishment of the operating air in the structure 31.

This compensation of operating air may be stopped in stable regimes—different for both said circuits.

consecutive, permanent, cyclical work of said fan 23 and compressor 30 in their closed circuits as self-boosters leads to: rising the pressures and thus the temperatures of operating air inside said closed circuits up to definite levels in stable regimes, accumulating energy and decreasing power requirements for both structures. The closed-loop tunnel 22 and closed combined compressed air net-structure 31 working with their hot operative air, become heat generators with all their elements, which interact, and cooperate, providing common heat transfer for incoming cold air.

Combined multistage heat transfer to incoming cold air is illustrated in FIG. 6. The centrifugal fan 34 propels incoming cold air through labyrinth channels of casing 20 consecutively over electric motors 21 cooling them; common compressed air heat exchanger 33, combined manifold 32; air compressor 30; closed-loop tunnel 22 with its inner supporting heat-exchanger 33S and outer compensative heat-exchanger 33C—thus providing effective heat transfer and part-bypassing of air for repetitive heat transfer if needed.

The average percentage of heat production of Dynamic Natural Heater Technology is as follows: (a) compressed air net-structure 31 gives about 48% of total heat capacity; (b) fan tunnel 22—about 45%; (c) Heat emissions of supporting elements including bypassing air, electric motors, baffles, internal surfaces of casing—about 7%.

So the Dynamic Natural Heater, Technology provides the total heat capacity from accumulated pressure-heat energy of compressed-air and fan flows, and supporting heat emissions inside its casing.
