Abstract
Abstract A heater for air and liquid utilizing a combustible fuel which includes a first vertical stack including a combustion tube or heat stack with a bottom burner. The heat stack is surrounded by a heat transfer unit with alternate down passages and up passages. The down passages carry the heated exhaust gas. The up passages carry the fluid to be heated. A second vertical stack carries outgoing combustion gases, incoming secondary air supply for combustion, and incoming air to be heated or fluid to be heated. A heat transfer arrangement in the second stack transfers heat from outgoing combustion gases to incoming space air and combustion support air when the unit is used as a space heater.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A heating furnace assembly for a fluid medium which comprises: (a) a vertical burner chamber, (b) a combustion burner at the base of said burner chamber, (c) insulated means forming an annular counterflow heat exchange chamber around said vertical burner chamber, and (d) heat conductive means within said annular counterflow heat exchange chamber to carry fluid to be heated upwardly within said heat exchange chamber to a suitable outlet for utilization, and to carry combustion gases from said burner chamber downward to an exhaust path, whereby heat from said combustion gases will transfer to said fluid to be heated in said counterflow, (e) a base on said assembly comprising a plurality of vertically stacked manifold chambers in heat exchange relationship comprising a combustion air chamber connected to said burner, a fluid inlet chamber connected to said heat exchange chamber for fluid to be heated, and a chamber to receive combustion exhaust gases from said heat exchange chamber, said chamber to receive combustion exhaust gases being interposed between said combustion air chamber and said fluid inlet chamber.
