An induction-displacement neutral wall air terminal unit includes a housing defining a supply airflow path, a connected return airflow path, and a heating airflow path separated from the supply and return airflow paths by at least one interior wall. The unit also includes a plurality of induction-type nozzles located within the supply airflow path, that are deliver a ventilation air flow stream into the supply air flow path. The nozzles induce a return air flow stream through the return air flow path that mixes with the ventilation air flow stream to form a supply air flow stream delivered to a supply air outlet. A heating element is disposed within the heating airflow path to heat air within the heating air flow path. A plurality of fans may be placed within the heating airflow path to increase the overall heating capacity of the unit.

A system and method for improving the responsiveness of forced hot water heat exchangers placed around the baseboards of conditioned living spaces and improving the efficiently of centralized hot water heating systems. The control system may comprise replacement baseboard heat exchanger cover, a blower, a diffuser and a sensor which are mounted to one or more baseboard heat exchangers. When heating system and forced hot water reaches its operating temperature, the blower activates to rapidly transfer energy from the heated water into the air and disperse treated, heated air into the room. After the centralized heating system turns off, the system continues to disperse the treated, heated air until the latent heat of the heating element centralized heating system has been extracted and the return loop temperatures are at levels consistent with optimal boiler performance.

A system and a method for controlling twinned heating appliances are described. The system includes a first heating appliance and a second heating appliance. The first heating appliance includes a first blower and a first wireless communication unit. Further, the second heating appliance is operatively coupled with the first heating appliance as a twinned unit. The second heating appliance includes a second blower and a second wireless communication unit. The system also includes a primary control unit configured to receive speed data indicative of a speed of the first blower and speed data indicative of a speed of the second blower. The primary control unit is further configured to output a blower speed control signal to at least one of the first blower and the second blower to synchronize the first blower and the second blower.

An insulated heating-unit cover having an opening to permit air to circulate around the heating-source when a vent disposed at the top of the cover is opened, allowing heat into a space. The cover can include a heating-unit temperature sensor disposed within a space covered by the cover and a controller in wireless communication with a space temperature sensor located at a distance away from the heating-unit. The controller can be configured to operate an actuator such that the vent is open when the space temperature sensor indicates that the ambient temperature is below a set point temperature and such that the vent is closed when the ambient temperature is greater than the set point temperature. The controller can communicate with a plurality of other similar controllers and a central server to effect changes in the output of a central heating source coupled to a plurality of individual heating-units.

A heating body, having multiple heat tubes filled with a working medium and run in parallel, and which have a first end and a second end, and having a heat source, which is thermally coupled to the first and/or second end of the heat tubes. To improve efficiency, reduce heating time, and achieve a homogeneous heat distribution, the first ends of the heat tubes are open and are fluidically connected to a first transverse connection tube and/or the second ends of the heat tubes are open and are fluidically connected to a second transverse connection tube, the heat tubes and the transverse connection tubes form a common cavity filled with the working medium, and the first or second transverse connection tube is thermally coupled to the heat source in order to absorb heat from the heat source.
