Abstract
A venting apparatus for a heat source is disclosed. The venting apparatus includes a venting housing structure comprising a plurality of exhaust apertures proximate to a heat collector, wherein the exhaust apertures vent into a chamber defined, in part, by a circumferential surface having a radial extent from the apertures, and a thermoelectric device in thermal communication to the heat collector on a second surface thereof.
Claims19
A venting apparatus for a heat source, the venting apparatus comprising:
- a venting housing structure comprising a plurality of exhaust apertures proximate to a heat collector, wherein the exhaust apertures vent into a chamber defined, in part, by a circumferential surface having a radial extent from the apertures, wherein the chamber is further defined by bottom openings into an exterior, and top openings through blades of a fan;
- and
- a thermoelectric device in thermal communication to the heat collector on a second surface thereof.
A venting apparatus for a heat source, the venting apparatus comprising:
- a venting housing structure comprising a plurality of exhaust apertures proximate to a heat collector, wherein the exhaust apertures vent into a chamber defined, in part, by a circumferential surface having a radial extent from the apertures, wherein the venting housing structure is configured to engage a lip of a containerized candle;
- and
- a thermoelectric device in thermal communication to the heat collector on a second surface thereof.
A venting apparatus for a heat source, the venting apparatus comprising:
- a venting housing structure comprising a plurality of exhaust apertures proximate to a heat collector, having a flat, circular-shaped first surface, wherein the plurality of exhaust apertures are radially aligned with a central axis of the venting apparatus;
- a thermoelectric device in thermal communication to the heat collector on a second surface thereof and in thermal communication to a heat sink on an opposing side thereof, wherein the thermoelectric device is electrically coupled to a motor mechanically coupled to a fan;
- and
- an exterior surface hood forming an interior chamber for mixing exhaust from a heat source and air from the fan, wherein the chamber is accessible through the plurality of exhaust apertures.
A venting apparatus for a heat source, the venting apparatus comprising:
- a venting housing structure configured to support a thermoelectric device, the venting housing structure comprising a plurality of exhaust apertures proximate to a heat collector, having a first surface, and a plurality of ambient air apertures proximate to a heat sink, wherein the plurality of exhaust apertures and the ambient air apertures are radially aligned with a central axis of the venting apparatus, wherein the plurality of exhaust apertures have an upper edge flush with a surface of the heat collector;
- wherein the venting housing comprises an exterior surface that forms an interior chamber defined by an interior surface of the exterior surface, the plurality of exhaust apertures, and a bottom, opening into an exterior of the venting apparatus;
- and
- a thermoelectric device in thermal communication to a heat collector on a second surface thereof and in thermal communication to an air shield and the heat sink on an opposing side thereof, wherein the thermoelectric device is electrically coupled to a motor, wherein the motor is mechanically connected to a fan configured to thermally affect the heat sink by directing air through the plurality of ambient air apertures, the fan further configured to direct outside air into the interior chamber.
