- ABSTRACT A closed circuit heating system employing a liquid heated by electrical resistance elements and circulated between the tank and radiators.
- the liquid employed has a lower coefficient of expansion than water and also a lower freezing point than water.
- the tank is of cylindrical shape and horizontally disposed.
- the liquid inlet and outlet are located at the bottom and top of the tank respectively, midway between the ends of the tank and are in vertical register.
- At least one pair of electrical resistance elements extend within the tank substantially horizontally from the ends of the tank towards each other at substantially the same level above the bottom of the tank and terminating within the tank at substantially equal distance from the ends of the tank.
- Baffles are located in the tank opposite and spaced from the inlet and outlet, respectively, and located intermediate the same and the electrical resistance elements. The baffle located over the inlet directs the liquid towards the ends of the tank and the baffle located opposite the outlet prevents the liquid in the center zone of the tank from flowing directly towards the outlet.
- the liquid is caused to circulate in substantially two sets of symmetrical paths on both sides of the central zone of the tank between the inlet and the outlet without any preferential path in each set.
- the liquid comes in contact with the electrical elements at substantially uniform velocity over the entire length of said elements.
- the liquid is heated substantially uniformly during its passage in the tank.
- the invention is more particularly directed towards a heating system which employs a liquid, circulated in a closed system, as the heat transfer medium. And which is heated electrically in a tank.
- Hot water heating systems employing water as the circulating fluid are well known.
- hot water heating systems have disadvantages.
- Water has a relatively high coefficient of expansion. Therefore, suitable expansion means, such as an expansion, or overflow tank, must be provided to accommodate the overflow of water when it is heated.
- the expansion means is open to the atmosphere. Thus, water can be lost from the system due to evaporation. Therefore, make-up means must be provided to add water to the system to make up the evaporation loss.
- Hot water heating systems can also freeze if not used, or drained, in the winter, causing considerable damage.
- a closed heating system is provided.
- a closed system can be provided because the liquid employed in the heating system, as the heat transfer medium, has a very low coefficient of expansion, as compared with water.
- the fluid is relatively stable compared to water, no open expansion means are required, and no make-up system is needed.
- the liquid employed in the system also has a very low freezing point as compared with water.
- the system can be more readily employed in situations where freezing presents a problem, than can hot water heating systems.
- the system requires less liquid as a heat transfer medium than hot water heating systems. It has been found that approximately three gallons of liquid only are needed in the system to heat a small house.

- the system contains heat transfer fluid.
- a pump in the system -circulates the fluid through the closed system.
- Means are provided in the tank for heating the fluid.
- the tank is elongated horizontally. At least one pair of elongated electrical resistance elements extend within the tank substantially horizontally from the ends of the tank towards each other at substantially the same level above the bottom of the tank and terminate within the tank at substantially equal distances from the ends of the tank.
- the tank has a liquid inlet and a liquid out let located at the bottom and top of the tank, respectively, in vertical register substantially midway between the ends of the tank.
- First and second baffles are located in the tank opposite and spaced from the inlet and outlet means, respectively, intermediate the same and the electrical resistance elements. The first baffle directs the liquid towards the ends of the tank and the second baffle prevents the liquid in the center zone of the tank from flowing directly towards the outlet.
- the arrangement is such that the liquid circulates within the tank is substantially two sets of symmetrical paths on both sides of the central zone of the tank and without any preferential path in each set. so that the liquid comes in contact with the electrical elements at substantially uniform velocity over the entire length of the electrical resistance elements.

- the ends of the member 13 are each enclosed by a housing 21 which protects the juction boxes 22 of heating elements 19.
- the housings 21 can have a panel (not shown) which provides access within the housing for maintenance.
- a liquid inlet 25 which connects to conduit 7.
- a liquid outlet 27 which connects to conduit 7.

2 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures ELECTRIC SPACE HEATING SYSTEM This invention is directed towards a heating system.
The invention is more particularly directed towards a heating system which employs a liquid, circulated in a closed system, as the heat transfer medium. And which is heated electrically in a tank.
Heating systems employing water as the circulating fluid are well known. However, hot water heating systems have disadvantages. Water has a relatively high coefficient of expansion. Therefore, suitable expansion means, such as an expansion, or overflow tank, must be provided to accommodate the overflow of water when it is heated. Usually, the expansion means is open to the atmosphere. Thus, water can be lost from the system due to evaporation. Therefore, make-up means must be provided to add water to the system to make up the evaporation loss. Hot water heating systems can also freeze if not used, or drained, in the winter, causing considerable damage.
Various types of electric heating tanks are known. However, their operating cost is high because the liquid does not circulate uniformly over the electrical resistance elements, resulting in localized overheating of the liquid.
It is the purpose of the present invention to provide a compact, inexpensive, yet efficient heating system employing a liquid as a heat transfer medium which minimizes or avoids the disadvantages of hot water heating systems. It is a further purpose of the present invention to utilize the advantages derived from the use of electric heat while effecting energy savings as compared to known systems of similar type by preventing localized overheating of the liquid.
ln the present invention, a closed heating system is provided. A closed system can be provided because the liquid employed in the heating system, as the heat transfer medium, has a very low coefficient of expansion, as compared with water. Thus, because the fluid is relatively stable compared to water, no open expansion means are required, and no make-up system is needed.
The liquid employed in the system also has a very low freezing point as compared with water. Thus, the system can be more readily employed in situations where freezing presents a problem, than can hot water heating systems.
The system requires less liquid as a heat transfer medium than hot water heating systems. It has been found that approximately three gallons of liquid only are needed in the system to heat a small house.
In one accordance with the invention the heating system comprises a heating tank, at least one radiator, and conduit means connecting the tank and radiator or radiators in a closed system. The system contains heat transfer fluid. A pump in the system-circulates the fluid through the closed system. Means are provided in the tank for heating the fluid.
The tank is elongated horizontally. At least one pair of elongated electrical resistance elements extend within the tank substantially horizontally from the ends of the tank towards each other at substantially the same level above the bottom of the tank and terminate within the tank at substantially equal distances from the ends of the tank. The tank has a liquid inlet and a liquid out let located at the bottom and top of the tank, respectively, in vertical register substantially midway between the ends of the tank. First and second baffles are located in the tank opposite and spaced from the inlet and outlet means, respectively, intermediate the same and the electrical resistance elements. The first baffle directs the liquid towards the ends of the tank and the second baffle prevents the liquid in the center zone of the tank from flowing directly towards the outlet. The arrangement is such that the liquid circulates within the tank is substantially two sets of symmetrical paths on both sides of the central zone of the tank and without any preferential path in each set. so that the liquid comes in contact with the electrical elements at substantially uniform velocity over the entire length of the electrical resistance elements.
The invention will now be described in detail having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of the heating system of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the heating tank employed in the heating system; and
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the tank taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
The heating system 1, as shown in FIG. 1 comprises a heating tank 3 and one or more radiators 5 connected together in a closed system by conduit 7. Liquid as the heat transfer medium in the closed system, is circulated from the tank to the radiators and back to the tank by a suitable circulating pump 9 in the conduit 7. Suitable valves 11 in the conduit 7 on the inlet and outlet side of the pump 9 can be adjusted to control the rate of liquid flow through the system. Alternatively, the pump can be used to control the rate of liquid flow.
The heating tank 3, as shown more clearly in FIGS. 2 and 3., comprises an elongated, horizontal tubular member 13 with vertical end walls 15. In each end wall 15, there is a pair of apertures 16 and a mounting collar 17 at each aperture. An electrical heating element 19 is inserted through each aperture 16 and threadably fixed in the respective collar 17. The coils 20 extend horizontally towards each other in the interior of the member 13 and terminate close to each other at substantially equal distances from end walls 15. The ends of the member 13 are each enclosed by a housing 21 which protects the juction boxes 22 of heating elements 19. The housings 21 can have a panel (not shown) which provides access within the housing for maintenance.
Located at the bottom of the member 13 is a liquid inlet 25 which connects to conduit 7. Located at the top of the member 13 is a liquid outlet 27 which connects to conduit 7. inlet 25 and outlet 27 are located substantially mid-way between the end walls 15 of the member 13 and are in substantially vertical register. Located directly over the inlet 25 and also the outlet 27, but spaced from each, is a baffle 29.
These baffles are plates of substantially the same size and terminate at substantially equal distances from the end walls 15. The bottom baffle 29 serves to direct the entering liquid towards end walls 15 and the top baffle 29 prevents the liquid in the center zone of the tank from flowing directly towards the outlet 27. The arrangement of the centrally located inlet 25 and outlet 27 with the respective baffles 29 causes the liquid to circulate in substantially two sets of symmetrical paths on both sides of the central zone of the tank between the inlet and the outlet and without any preferential path in each set, so that the liquid comes in contact with the electrical resistance elements 19 at substantially uniform velocity over the entire length of said elements 19. Thus, localized overheating of the liquid is prevented and more efficient heating of the liquid is obtained.
The heating-tank may be equipped with a suitable safety valve 33, a thermometer 35, an manometer 37 and a thermostat 39 connected to the control means 22 for the heating coils 20.
In addition, the tank may be provided with suitable means 41 for sensing the level of the liquid in the tank. The sensing means 41 is connected in a circuit 43 having heater control means 45 which can be made operable, when the level of liquid, for any reason, falls below a predetermined level, to shut off the system to avoid damage.
In operation, liquid enters into the member 13 through inlet 25 and is directed towards the ends of the member by the baffle 29 where it is heated by the heating coils 20. The temperature to which it is heated will depend on the type of liquid which is used. The temperature is controlled by thermostat 39 and control means 22 for the heaters. The heated liquid then passes through the outlet 27, to the radiators 5, via the pump 9. At the radiators, heat is given up and the liquid is then recirculated back to the tank for re-heating. It will be noted that the system is a closed system, as compared with a hot water system where make-up water is periodically required. No make-up liquid line is needed in the present system.
The liquid employed in the system preferably is one which has a low coefficient of expansion, as compared with water. Therefore, no overflow or relief tank is required an thus the system can be maintained closed in comparison to a hot water heating system.
In addition, the liquid is preferable one which has a very low freezing point as compared with water. Thus, the system may be used in cottages where the heating system is used infrequently, or not at all, in the winter. The heating system need not be drained to prevent damage by freezing.
The liquid used in the system preferably is a suitable antifreeze type liquid such as Prestone (a trade mark), or it can be vegetable or mineral oil. The liquid could also be a mixture of any of above three types of fluid.
