Embodiment Construction

[0013] Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of non-limiting examples only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0014] figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a water heating device according to an embodiment of the invention; and

[0015] figure 2 show figure 1 An enlarged schematic view of the friction tube of the device in Fig.

[0016] The figures are not drawn to scale, and identical or similar reference numerals denote identical or similar features.

[0017] will now refer to figure 1 with figure 2 An embodiment of the invention is now described, wherein an apparatus 100 is shown for heating liquid passing through a heat exchanger, thereby increasing the temperature of the water in a hot water storage tank.

[0018] The plant 100 comprises a wind turbine 1 with blades rotating an output shaft 2 of the turbine. The output shaft 2 is connected to a gearbox 3 and the gearbox 3 has an output shaft 4 connected to a high flow, l...

Abstract

There is provided an apparatus (100) for heating a liquid, comprising a wind turbine (1), a pump (5), and a circuit of piping. The wind turbine (1) drives the pump (5) to pump the liquid around the circuit of piping, and the circuit of piping comprises a friction pipe (14) through which the liquid is forced by the pump (5). Friction between the liquid and an inside of the friction pipe (14) generates heat, which gradually raises the temperature of the liquid by at least 20 DEG C.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for heating a liquid (for example using wind energy). Background technique [0002] Domestic homes and industrial facilities often require liquid heating equipment to provide hot liquid for circulation through radiators to heating rooms, or for providing hot water supply. It is desirable to heat liquids as economically as possible, and solar systems for such heating are well known. [0003] Another renewable energy source that can be used to heat liquids is wind energy. Typically, a wind turbine is used to drive an electric generator, and electric heating elements are used to heat the liquid. However, this system is very inefficient and not as common as solar power. [0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus for heating liquids. Contents of the invention [0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided an apparatus for heating a liqu...
