US Patent:

20190093378, Mar 28, 2019

Filed:

Nov 29, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/204360

Inventors:

Edward Earl Sweat - Maitland FL, US
Mark Crabtree - Cape Coral FL, US
Chris Micallef - Uttoxeter, GB

International Classification:

E04H 4/12
F24S 20/00
F24S 20/40

Abstract:

A heating system is described that uses solar thermal technology in the heating cycle using the compression principle to reduce the electrical consumption of the compressors, thereby increasing the efficiency of systems being used for heating with an increased refrigerant flow. Thermal energy provided from solar thermal energy collectors may be used. The rate of efficiency of the total heating system depends heavily on the size and construction of the heat exchanger array and the pipework to and from these heat exchangers. The system uses proper dimensioning, components in the pipework, and logic groups with sensors and actuators attached in that pipework to increase energy efficiency.
