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.
Claims20
A multi-heat source fire pit apparatus comprising:
- a fire pit housing comprising a planar member with lateral side members extending vertically from the planar member, the planar member defining opposing first and second lateral ends in a first direction and a proximal end and an opposing distal end in a direction transverse to the first direction, the planar member with the lateral side members forming a first compartment and a second compartment;
- a first heat source configured to produce ambient heating positioned in at least one of the first and second compartments;
- and
- a second heat source positioned within the planar member,
- wherein the lateral side members include one or more apertures structured to allow propagation of the ambient heating emitted from the first heat source.
A fire pit apparatus comprising:
- a fire pit housing comprising a planar member having lateral side members configured to form at least one compartment configured to receive a fuel source;
- a first heat source configured to produce ambient heating and positioned in the at least one compartment;
- and
- a second heat source positioned on the planar member of the fire pit housing and configured to produce heat from the fuel source
- wherein the lateral side members are positioned proximate at least the first heat source, and
- wherein the lateral side members include one or more apertures structured to allow propagation of heat emitted from the first hat source.
A multi-heat source fire pit apparatus comprising:
- a fire pit housing comprising a planar top surface having vertical side members to form a storage area configured to receive a fuel source;
- a first heat source configured to produce ambient heating and positioned in the storage area and configured to emit heat or radiation;
- and
- a second heat source positioned above the storage area on the planar top surface and configured to produce heat by fuel received from the fuel source,
- wherein the vertical side members are positioned proximate the first heat source, and
- wherein the vertical side members include one or more apertures 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;
- and
- a second heat source positioned on the housing and configured to produce heat by fuel received from the fuel source,
- wherein the housing includes one or more apertures structured to allow propagation of heat emitted from the first heat source.
