摘要:
A stove for indoor use includes a housing having a bottom wall, a top wall and one or more side walls defining a combustion chamber adapted to retain a fire, and an air supply system for supplying air to the combustion chamber. The air supply system includes a primary air conduit for supplying air to the combustion chamber from below through the bottom wall and a secondary air conduit for supplying air to the combustion chamber from above. A valve is arranged in the primary air conduit or in a branching between the primary and secondary air conduits. The valve is controlled by a bimetal whereby the valve is in a maximum open position when the prevailing temperature is below a first predetermined temperature during start-up of a fire and in a maximum closed position when the prevailing temperature is above a second predetermined temperature after start-up of the fire.

A temperature control system and a method of controlling air conditioning in a multi-zone structure are disclosed. The temperature control system includes a forced-air primary conditioning unit including an air return duct, an air supply duct, and a circulator. The temperature control system also includes a secondary combustion heat source that operates independently of the forced-air primary conditioning unit, a smart circulator thermostat, and a remote temperature sensor. The at least one memory device includes executable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the processor to receive a temperature value representative of a temperature of the structure, receive an indication of an operation of the secondary combustion heat source, generate a circulator operation signal based on a comparison of the received temperature value to a selectable temperature setpoint, and the received indication of an operation of an independent secondary combustion heat source.

A heating system can include certain pressure sensitive features. These features can be configured to change from a first position to a second position based on a pressure of a fuel flowing into the feature. These features can include, fuel selector valves, pressure regulators, burner nozzles, and oxygen depletion sensor nozzles, among other features.

An improved fire grate may provide fresh oxygen rich air to a secondary combustion zone, created by the improved fire grate, of a combustion chamber where a combustion gas stream is typically oxygen starved assisting in the burning process of incompletely burned particulates and reducing other harmful emissions. A baffle plate may be introduced in the secondary combustion zone to increase a combustion chamber temperature, encourage mixing of oxygen starved air with oxygen rich air and increase a residence time of the combustion gas within the combustion chamber. These aspects of the baffle plate promote more efficient burning of the biomass/fuel. Additionally, log lighter(s) may be disposed in the secondary combustion zone to increase a temperature of the combustion chamber for the purposes of reducing harmful emissions. The improved fire grate may be horizontally and vertically adjusted to fit within different sized fireplace combustion chambers.

The invention relates to heating units mounted on a window of an existing building. Flue gases are expelled outside of the building without the need for wall modifications or an extra chimney. The actual burn chamber is mounted on a window mounting unit with an interior support which extends into the building thereby heating the air inside the building.

The present invention is directed to a heating unit, such as a fireplace, including an interior housing forming a combustion chamber. The housing includes a top wall, a rear wall and side walls defining an exterior housing about the combustion chamber. A burner assembly is positioned to provide combustion to the combustion chamber and a heat activated shutter is provided in communication with the burner assembly for controlling flow of air into the burner assembly so as to produce a yellow flame within the unit in a generally instantaneous time period.

A gas valve (14) control system (10) uses a control signal (16) to enable a valve (14) and a validation signal (22) to validate the control signal (16). The system (10) includes a valve (14) connected to a burner (12). A receiver (18) is electrically connected to the valve (14) and provides the valve (14) with the control signal (16). A controller (20) has a control transmitter (24) in wireless communication with the receiver (18) to transmit the control signal (16) to the receiver (18) at a speed of light. The controller (20) further includes a validation transmitter (26) to transmit a validation signal (22) to the receiver (18) at a speed of sound. The valve (14) is enabled by the control signal (16) if a time delay between the receiver (18) receiving the control signal (16) and the validation signal (22) is shorter than a maximum delay period. The control signal (16) is discarded if the time delay is longer than the maximum delay period.
摘要:
A solid fuel burner and method uses a low oxygen concentration gas as a transporting gas for a low grade solid fuel such as brown coal or the like, provides for accelerating ignition of the fuel and for preventing slugging caused by combustion ash. Mixing of fuel and air inside a fuel nozzle 11 is accelerated by an additional air nozzle 12 and a separator 35 for separating a flow passage, arranged in the fuel nozzle 11, and an exit of the additional air nozzle 12 is set at a position that overlaps with the separator 35. Additional air is ejected in a direction nearly perpendicular to a flow direction of a fuel jet flowing through the fuel nozzle 11. The amount of air from the additional air nozzle 12 is varied corresponding to a combustion load, in order to assure stable burning of the fuel, and, to suppress radiant heat received by structures of the solid fuel burner and walls of the furnace.

A multi-functional fireplace includes a housing for a removable firebox, a multiple burner assembly, a heat exchanger, a ventilator, an air conditioner, and an air exchanger/heat recovery unit. The firebox is removable by various ways from the housing allowing easy access to the internal contents of the fireplace. The multiple burner assembly can be a double burner assembly. One burner is an ambience burner for providing a decorative flame within the firebox and the other burner is the principal heating burner and can be positioned within or outside of the fireplace. A controller may also be linked to the various components of the fireplace to receive data therefrom and for control thereof. A sensor linked to the control can be placed at a heat outlet in order for the controller to detect temperature and accelerate the ventilator if need be. A bypass is also used to avoid cool air from the air conditioner from heating up when the decorative flame is lit.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to a use of a thermoelectric module in conjunction with a fireplace or stove to generate electricity to run certain features or peripheral devices related to the stove or fireplace. The thermoelectrical module may be positioned between interior and exterior walls of the stove or fireplace outside and protected from the fire generated in the combustion chamber of the stove or fireplace. Power generated by the thermoelectric module may be used for various purposes such as powering a blower, a control unit such as a microprocessor, lights, back-up systems, ignition systems, and flame control devices. Furthermore, the power generated by the thermoelectric module may be saved in a power storage device such as a rechargeable battery or capacitor for a later use by various devices associated with fireplace or stove.
