Abstract

Disclosed is a heating system utilizing electrolysis of water for heating a space. The system includes a tank configured to hold water, a separation cell configured to perform electrolysis of water, a first heat exchanger, a gas bubbler, a burn unit, and a second heat exchanger, where water from the tank is delivered to the separation cell where electrolysis is performed. The fluid produced from the electrolysis is delivered through the first heat exchanger back to the tank, then to the gas bubbler, and finally to the burn unit, where the hydrogen gas produced during electrolysis is burned to emit heat directed at the second heat exchanger. Through the process environment air is heated.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the priority date of the provisional application entitled “Home heating unit that utilizes hydrogen and oxygen separated from water” filed by Randy M. Bunn and Mark R. Akkerman on Jan. 29, 2009, with application Ser. No. 61 / 148,214, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention generally relates to a heating system, and more particularly to a heating system utilizing electrolysis of water.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many different fuels have been used as heating sources, including wood, coal, natural gas, propane, heating oil, methane, and animal excrement, to name a few. Typically, these fuels are burned to generate heat. However, these fuels are not always in ready and abundant supply. Further, the fuels readily available in one area are not necessarily readily available in other areas. For example, in some parts of the world, wood and coal are readily ...
