Abstract
An energy saving heat transfer unit providing an efficient means to transfer energy from steam to water in a central heating system. The steam enters a mixing chamber and creates a negative pressure environment. Water in a backwater pipe, which is at a lower temperature and pressure, is than is absorbed into the mixing chamber where energy is passed from the steam to the water. The heated water then exits the heat transfer unit and goes back into the heating system. After being cooled in the heating system, the water then reenters the heat transfer unit at the backwater pipe and continues the cycle over again.
Claims5
A supersonic 3-way super energy-saving unit comprising:
- a main body having a steam inlet, a backwater intake, and a water exit;
- a nozzle with a trumpet-like critical jet at its tip located inside the body proximate to the steam inlet, a mixing chamber located adjacent to the jet, a mixing tube located adjacent to the mixing chamber, and a diffusion cubicle located adjacent to the mixing tube;
- and
- a steam inlet flange connected to the main body adjacent to the steam inlet, a backwater intake flange connected to the body at a nozzle, and a water exit flange connected to the body adjacent to the diffusion cubicle.
