System and method for pumping heat

Abstract

A system and a method for pumping heat, the system having an air collector unit 110, a vortex tube 130, a vector cancelling cooling condenser 140 and at least one radiator 150. The air collector unit collects the low-pressure air from the atmosphere and provides high pressure air to the vortex tube. The vortex tube splits the air in hot air and cold air. The hot is cooled down in the vector cancelling cooling condenser to provide cold air by exchanging heat with cold water to form hot water. The cold air from the vortex tube and the vector cancelling cooling condenser is delivered to the atmosphere and hot water is delivered to the atmosphere. The system may have a plurality of venturi assisted air collector devices (120, fig 2) coupled to each other to form a toroidal loop (118, fig 2) configured to suck in low pressure air and produce high pressure air. The vector cancelling cooling condenser may comprise a body (145, fig 4) defined by at least one wall (145a, fig 4), a plurality of concentric shells (146, fig 4) and at least one pair of delivery tubes (147, 148, fig 4) that are facing each other.
