Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a multi-heat source apparatus. The multi heat source may include a fire pit and is configured to provide ambient heating with both convection heat transfer and radiation heat transfer. The multi-heat source apparatus comprises an infrared emitter for generating infrared radiation. The multi-heat source apparatus comprises a shielding member between a heat source for the convection heat transfer and another heat source for radiation heat transfer.
Claims19
A multi-heat source fire pit apparatus comprising:
- a fire pit housing comprising a top member with side members forming at least one compartment;
- a first heat source configured to produce ambient heating positioned in or proximate the at least one compartment;
- a second heat source positioned within the top member and directly above the first heat source;
- and
- a first shielding member configured to at least partially shield heat emanating from the first heat source towards the second heat source,
- wherein the side members include one or more openings configured to allow propagation of the ambient heating emitted from the first heat source.
A fire pit apparatus comprising:
- a fire pit housing comprising a top member having side members configured to form at least one compartment configured to receive a heat source;
- a first heat source configured to produce ambient heating and positioned in or proximate the at least one compartment;
- a second heat source positioned on the fire pit housing and directly above the first heat source and configured to produce heat from a fuel source;
- and
- a first shielding member configured to at least partially shield heat emanating from the first heat source towards the second heat source,
- wherein the side members are positioned proximate at least the first heat source, and
- wherein the side members include one or more openings structured to allow propagation of heat emitted from the first heat source.
A multi-heat source fire pit apparatus comprising:
- a fire pit housing comprising a top surface having side members to form a storage area configured to receive a heat source;
- a first heat source configured to produce ambient heating and positioned in or proximate the storage area and configured to emit heat or radiation;
- a second heat source positioned directly above the storage area and the first heat source and configured to produce heat by fuel received from a fuel source;
- and
- a first shielding member configured to at least partially shield heat emanating from the first heat source towards the second heat source,
- wherein the side members are positioned proximate the first heat source, and
- wherein the side members include one or more openings structured to allow propagation of heat emitted from the first heat source.
A multi-heat source apparatus comprising:
- a housing configured to form a first compartment and a second compartment, wherein the first compartment is configured to receive a fuel source and the second compartment is configured to receive a first heat source configured to produce ambient heating;
- a second heat source positioned on the housing and directly above the first heat source configured to produce heat by fuel received from the fuel source;
- and
- a first shielding member configured to at least partially shield heat emanating from the first heat source towards the second heat source,
- wherein the housing includes one or more openings structured to allow propagation of heat emitted from the first heat source.
