Aqua dynamic water heater based space heating system

Abstract

A fluid-based heating apparatus that utilizes a centrifugal system with coupled friction heater to provide efficient heating by circulating fluids through the apparatus. The apparatus further including a central shaft connected to a motor drive that facilitates agitation of the fluid against frictional surfaces within the apparatus to generate heat.

Description

CITATION TO PRIOR APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 698,618, titled “Aqua Dynamic Water Heater Based Space Heating System,” which was filed on Jul. 16, 2018.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to heating devices and systems, such as for heating interior spaces of dwellings and commercial, healthcare, retail and manufacturing facilities.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Energy conservation, for cost control purposes, has nearly always been a concern for consumers and businesses alike. As unrelated, but more pressing concerns from climate change come more into focus, conservation of energy becomes, not merely an economic issue, but one of ultimate quality of life, and even of survival, by some accounts.[0004]Heating interior spaces during cold weather months is (relative to the space at issue) a very expensive and high-energy consumption undertaking.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a heating system that is designed to be cost-effective and energy-efficient. The system uses a water purification process that eliminates the need for disposable filters and membranes, which can fail easily due to contact with the fluids involved. Instead, the system utilizes a centrifugal system that separates solid contaminants from the water, and a friction heater that uses frictional cavitation to produce a phase change in the water, resulting in water vapor or steam that further purifies the fluid. The system also includes a cooling coil to speed up the natural condensation process. Overall, the system is designed to provide a more cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for heating interior spaces during cold weather months.

Problems solved by technology

Heating interior spaces during cold weather months is (relative to the space at issue) a very expensive and high-energy consumption undertaking.

Even with the advances of heat pump technology, the acquisition costs for the most efficient units (around 23 SEER) likely prohibitive for most homeowners, and are unarguably cost-prohibitive for larger, commercial spaces.

Even these most efficient units' energy consumption are significant, to the point that most homeowners, for example, spend a substantial portion of their Winter budgets on heating costs, at least in cold weather climates.
