US 2004/0069296 A1 · Heat transfer controller

Abstract

A heat transfer controller is configured to control the heat distribution and transfer of a heating system. An exemplary heating system comprises an air intake, an exhaust mechanism, and a heat transfer controller. The heat transfer controller is configured to control the distribution and transfer of heat exhausted from the exhaust mechanism to the heating area, and can comprise a heat deflector having a width, length and height that can be suitably configured to provide variable heat transfer control characteristics. In addition, the heat transfer controller can comprise an arch-like configuration. For example, the width of the heat transfer controller can be configured to direct and/or transfer heat from an area most likely to have heat restricted or increased. In addition, the height of the heat transfer controller can be configured to generate a convection effect to pull heat outwards from the area with the greatest heat restrictions. The heat transfer controller can also suitably comprise any other configurations, such as triangular, trapezoidal or other like configurations that may be configured to direct and/or transfer heat and/or provide heat convention functions.

Dependent claims

A heating system configured for optimizing heat distribution to a heating area, said heating system comprising:

an air intake configured to receive external air into said heating system;
a heating region configured to generate heated air from the external air;
an outer surface area;
an exhaust mechanism configured to exhaust the heated air from said heating system, said exhaust mechanism configured above said heating region and beneath said outer surface area;
and
a heat transfer controller configured to control distribution and transfer of the heated air to the heating area, said heat transfer controller configured above said exhaust mechanism and below said outer surface area, said heat transfer controller comprising a heat deflector having a length, a width configuration and a height configuration, and wherein said heat transfer controller having at least one of said width configuration for controlling transfer of the heated air from said heated region having an increased accumulation of heated air and said height configuration for controlling distribution of the heated air away from said outer surface area.
