Description:
HEATING SYSTEM FOR USING THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS OF A FURNACE Technical Field

The invention relates to a system and method thereof, where combustion products and / or smoke/flue gases that arise as a result of combustion in a furnace that can combust solid, liquid and gas fuels; are circulated behind any of the surface elements of the floor and / or walls or ceilings of any or all of the volumes (thermal area, hot water tank/pool, sauna, bathroom, living areas etc.) that are intended to be heated; through tunnels, chambers and / or channels to heat said volumes.

Prior Art

Thermal areas, saunas, massage salons need to be heated and operated at regular ambient temperatures in all seasons. At this point, the most commonly used heating systems are aqueous and electrical systems. There are many differences between the aqueous systems and the electrical heating systems with cables, such as installation costs, operating expenses, regime times, security, regional temperature control, installation processes, etc.

Aqueous pipe heating method can be done by hot water circulation from pipes laid under marbles. The connection to an existing heating system can be made as well as the hot water requirement of the system is provided by solid fuel boiler, boiler or heat pump. It is mostly applicable in large areas and the pipes used in the heating system with aqueous pipes should be suitable for heavy working conditions. While this system requires a continuous supply of energy, the warm-up time is much longer than the cable type electric heating systems. Precise heating is not possible because thermostat control is difficult to achieve. In electrical heating method, heating cables are laid according to the pre-marble calculation values. The system can be kept at the desired temperature by means of thermostats and sensors and should be applied in small and medium sized volumes.

In the above-mentioned methods, the system should be in continuous operation due to late heating. Since underfloor heating systems do not exceed 50 ° C, bacteria can form inside the pipes. Over time, these bacteria spread throughout the system and cause heating problems. Underfloor heating can damage the soles of the goods as parts thereof that contact with the floor are damaged by exposure to heat.

In other systems with solid fuel consumption as a resource, while heating achieves in limited volumes, sufficient efficiency is not achieved in relatively large spaces.

With the present system and the method thereof, which is explained in detail below, by eliminating the disadvantages mentioned in the state of the art, we can reduce the installation cost between heating periods, a system can be installed which is safe, resistant to corrosion, high in strength and capable of easily and efficiently heating any spaces in any volume.

Objective of The Invention

The main purpose of the invention is heating volumes (thermal area, hot water tank/pool, sauna, bathroom, living areas etc.) that are intended to be heated by circulating the combustion products and / or smoke/flue gases that arise as a result of combustion in a furnace that can combust solid, liquid and gas fuels behind any of the surface elements of the floor and / or walls or ceilings of any or all of these volumes through tunnels, chambers and / or channels that are resistant to heat, corrosion and acidic factors, without the need for any additional energy source.

The system and the method thereof is capable of heating the areas which are considered to be heated without necessitating electrical energy if solid fuel is used as a source.

Description of the Invention

The invention is a system and method thereof where the combustion products and/or smoke/flue gasses that arise as a result of combustion in a furnace (1) that can combust solid, liquid and gas fuels, are circulated via the plurality of various sized tunnels, chambers and/or channels (7) from behind the surface structure elements of the floor and/or walls or ceilings of any /or all of the spaces (5) (thermal area, hot water tank/pool, sauna, bathroom, living areas etc.) where said volumes (5) are desired to be heated, wherein the system comprises at least a furnace (1) having hell / firebox (2) and a smoke box (3), at least a chimney (4) which plays a role of discharging to the atmosphere and preferably heating the spaces (5) via its surfaces, at least a tunnel/chamber/channel (7) through which combustion products and/or smoke gasses circulate, and preferably a safety chimney (8).

The system and the method thereof is capable of heating the areas (5) which are considered to be heated without necessitating electrical energy if solid fuel is used as a source.

Solid, liquid and gas fuels are burned in the area called furnace (1 ). The resulting superheated gases reach the firebox (2) together with the unburned carbon particles and the remaining carbon particles are combusted in the firebox (2). For this reason, the firebox (2) is the hottest zone of the boiler after the furnace (1 ). Combustion products and / or smoke/flue gases resulting from combustion reach the smoke box (3).

Circulating combustion products and gases are discharged from certain points and / or subsidiaries via chimneys (4) of various numbers and sizes composed of materials which are resistant to exhaust gases, opening to the outside air / atmosphere. The number and locations of the chimneys (4) to be used vary depending on the preference and needs. In the chimneys (4), there are clappers/valves (9) that can be opened and closed at any desired level, which have been designed to enable or prevent the passage of gasses and/or smoke gasses created as a result of combustion. Said tunnel/chamber/channels (7) are resistant to heat and corrosion, as well as acidic factors, and at the same time are composed of building materials, building components, structural elements and / or ionic bonded materials, which ensure that the surfaces through which the gas fluid passes are smooth.

The gases and / or flue gases generated by combustion can flow inside any of the tunnel/chamber/channels (7) by forced and/or natural ways with the aid of external air/ambient air and/or conditioned air by carrying out or not carrying out sectional changes or by bypassing from time to time through any one or all of the tunnel/chamber/channels (7).

In the construction of tunnel/chamber/channel (7), fire bricks are preferably used which are resistant to high temperature conditions and provide light and high thermal insulation. The structure of the tunnel/chamber/channels (7) is of a structure which has gradually narrowing and/or conical narrowing sections in order to accelerate the flow.

In the areas where the locus (5) are located, there are optionally hot water tanks / reservoirs made of high heat conduction material or the space itself is hot water tanks / reservoirs. In order to heat the water in these tanks/ reservoir, it is preferred that the locus (5) are located closer to the furnace (1 ).

With the safety chimney (8), in case of any dangerous situation that may occur in the furnace (1), the combustion products and / or smoke gases resulting from the combustion are evacuated without going to the locus (5). In this way, security is ensured in the system.

According to the need or request, at least one balancing channels (6) is positioned under the tunnel/chamber/channel (7) in order to slow down, accelerate or stop the combustion products or gas flow circulating in the system.
