Abstract
Abstract A heating system for dwellings or other enclosures includes a furnace in which a burner is isolated from a hot air or water system, and receives substantially all of its combustion air from outside the enclosure and preheated. A heat exchanger is provided between exhaust gases from the burner of the furnace and the combustion air.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
In a furnace located in an enclosure, the furnace having a burner, a blower coupled to the burner, an exhaust duct to convey products of combustion from the furnace to a stack, said exhaust duct having a barometric draft regulator, an improved system comprising: (a) heat exchange means which can be quickly and easily coupled to the exhaust duct to provide a first zone to carry the products of combustion, and a second zone in heat flow communication with the first zone to carry a stream of air; (b) first conduit means which can be quickly and easily coupled to provide gas flow communication between a point outside the enclosure and the second zone of said heat exchange means; (c) second conduit means which can be quickly and easily coupled to provide gas flow communication between said point outside the enclosure and the barometric draft regulator; and (d) third conduit means which can be quickly and easily coupled to provide gas flow communication between the second zone of said heat exchange means and the blower whereby air for combustion in the burner is supplied from said point outside the enclosure, and air is supplied to the barometric draft regulator from the same point outside the enclosure.

Dependent Claim
206 words
In a furnace located in an enclosure, the furnace having a burner, a blower coupled to the burner, an exhaust duct to convey products of combustion from the furnace to a stack, said exhaust duct having a barometric draft regulator, an improved system comprising: (a) heat exchange means which can be quickly and easily coupled to the exhaust duct to provide a first zone to carry the products of combustion, and a second zone in heat flow communication with the first zone to carry a stream of air; (b) first conduit means which can be quickly and easily coupled to provide gas flow communication between a point outside the enclosure and the second zone of said heat exchange means; (c) second conduit means which can be quickly and easily coupled to provide gas flow communication between said point outside the enclosure and the barometric draft regulator; and (d) third conduit means which can be quickly and easily coupled to provide gas flow communication between the second zone of said heat exchange means and the blower whereby air for combustion in the burner is supplied from said point outside the enclosure, and air is supplied to the barometric draft regulator from the same point outside the enclosure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
The system according to claim 1 wherein said first conduit means is disposed so that the point outside the enclosure is substantially spaced apart from the point where the stack terminates so that no substantial quantity of the products of combustion from the stack is aspirated into the air carried by said first conduit means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The system according to claim 1 wherein the furnace includes an air inlet port to permit air to flow into the furnace.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The system according to claim 1 wherein said third conduit is coupled to said blower to provide substantially all of the air to said blower.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
The system according to claim 1 further including a wall located in said furnace to form a heating zone and a vestibule, the blower being located in said vestibule, and the nozzle of said vestibule being located in said heating zone.
