A dual heating process is performed in the absence of an open flame. Heat is created by a rotating prime mover(s) driving a fluid shear heater. Heat is also collected from a cooling system of the prime mover, and from any exhaust heat generated by the prime mover. The heat energy collected from all of these sources is transmitted through heat exchangers to a fluid where heat energy is desired. The fluid being heated may be glycol or air, depending on the type of heat desired.

An apparatus for heating water has a tank for storing water and an air conditioning system that defines a refrigerant flow path through which refrigerant flows. The refrigerant flow path passes through the heat exchanger so that refrigerant heat is contributed to the tank. A control system controls operation of the water heating apparatus.

There is provided a hybrid type heating system capable of heating air and water together. As an embodiment, the present invention provides a technology of carrying out heating not using a battery in an electric vehicle, a technology of heating a battery so that performance of the battery does not decrease under a low outdoor temperature condition, and a technology of carrying out heating with not decreasing driving distance of the electric vehicle or increasing the driving distance of the electric vehicle.

A hydro-furnace includes a water heater, a furnace component with a holding tank, a holding tank temperature sensor, a heater core, a pump, and a blower, and a control circuit coupled with the holding tank temperature sensor, the pump, and the blower. The blower drives air across the heater core in a heat exchange relationship, and the pump drives a fluid circuit between the water heater, the heater core, and the holding tank. The control circuit is configured to activate the pump and the water heater when a temperature in the holding tank drops below a predetermined threshold temperature.

The present disclosure relates to a device for heating room air and a liquid. A heat exchanger transfers thermal energy to the liquid present in a medium line. A medium tank takes up liquid and air, and a conveying device moves liquid and air from the medium tank to the medium line. In the event that only room air is to be heated in an air mode, air is moved from an air cushion in the medium tank through the medium line. The pumping capacity of the conveying device is monitored.

A heat recovery system for recovering waste heat from exhaust gases that are expelled through a flue that are generated as a byproduct from a heating system, comprises a venting arrangement that connects to the flue from the heating system and a motorized damper to direct the exhaust gases from the flue through the venting arrangement to an intake plenum. The intake plenum directs the exhaust gases to a heat exchanger that comprising a series of serpentine conduits between which the exhaust gases pass through. The heat exchanger is connected to exhaust plenum which is in turn connected to an exhaust fan that draws the exhaust gasses through the heat recovery system. The heat exchanger further comprises a series of inlet ports and outlet ports that add and remove coolant to the serpentine conduits at selected temperatures.
