Abstract
A heating system including a thermal battery including an opening, a storage container configured to hold a first fluid therein, the opening configured to expose the first fluid to atmospheric pressure; and a fluid conductor disposed through the first fluid from an inlet point at the storage container to an outlet point at the storage container, the fluid conductor configured to receive a second fluid at a first temperature at the inlet point and to supply the second fluid at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
Claims19
A heating system comprising:
- (a) a thermal battery comprising an opening, a storage container configured to hold a first fluid therein, said opening configured to substantially expose the first fluid to atmospheric pressure;
- and
- (b) a fluid conductor disposed through the first fluid from an inlet point at said storage container to an outlet point at said storage container, said fluid conductor configured to receive a second fluid at a first temperature at said inlet point and to supply the second fluid at a second temperature higher than said first temperature.
A heating system comprising:
- (a) a first fluid conductor;
- (b) an evaporator thermally connected to said first fluid conductor by a mode of convection;
- (c) a second fluid conductor connecting said first fluid conductor to said evaporator;
- and
- (d) an expansion valve interposed in said second fluid conductor,
- wherein a working fluid received at said first fluid conductor is configured to be supplied to said evaporator through said second fluid conductor and said expansion valve, a heat loss from the working fluid in said first fluid conductor is at least compensated by a heat gain by said evaporator due to the working fluid in said first fluid conductor disposed at a lower temperature caused by the heat loss.
