[0001] This invention claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application 61 / 197,130 filed Oct. 24, 2008.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates generally to rotary heating systems and devices wherein rotating cylindrical rotors are employed to generate heat in heat transfer fluids in contact therewith. Devices of this type can be usefully employed as heating systems in applications requiring hot water supply, for instance in the home, or by incorporation as a heat pump or heating element within a heating system adapted for residential and industrial use.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Various designs exist for devices which use rotating members to increase pressure and / or temperature of fluids. U.S. Pat. No. 3,791,349 discloses an apparatus and method for production of steam and pressure by creating shock waves in a distended body of water. Various passageways and chambers are employed to create a tortuous path for the fluid and ...
