Definitions

  • This invention pertains to fireplace and hearth heating systems, and more particularly to blowers for use in fireplace and hearth heating systems.
  • fireplaces typically employ conventional rotating air movers such as fans and blowers to draw return air into a duct or plenum, force it through a heat exchanger, and then expel heated air back out into the room.
  • An air filter may be added to further condition the air.
  • fans and blowers tend to be noisy, especially in the relative quiet of a living room or bedroom. Furthermore, fans and blowers contain rotating and moving parts that usually wear out over time. Conventional air filters need to be replaced periodically, which increases the cost of ownership of such a system.

  • the body 14 of the fireplace 10 defines a front face 24 that conventionally faces toward an environment such as a living room, bedroom, and the like. Since the fireplace 10 can be installed in a flush or recessed orientation, the front face 24 of the body 14 can be planar or offset from a wall 26.
  • the combustion chamber 18 has an open front 28 that is generally exposed to the environment. This open front 28 may be closed off by glass doors or the like in highly efficient embodiments. In such embodiments, the combustion chamber 18 is often fed with outside air to support the combustion. In addition, the combustion chamber 18 defines a back wall 30, a floor 32, and a roof 34. The combustion chamber 18 is sized, dimensioned, and otherwise configured to receive a fuel 36 such as, for example, wood, natural gas, pellets, and the like. When the fuel 36 is combusted, heat is generated within the combustion chamber 18.
  • a fuel 36 such as, for example, wood, natural gas, pellets, and the like.
  • the roof 34 of the combustion chamber 18 includes an aperture 38 that couples the combustion chamber 18 and the flue 16.

  • Each of the inlet and outlet 42, 44 can be protected by a cover 46, a grate, and the like.
  • FIG. 1 depicts, in one embodiment all or at least a portion of the passage 20 is proximate and/or adjacent to the combustion chamber 18 to increase the ability of the heat in the combustion chamber 18 to heat the air in the passage 20.

  • three of the corona discharge apparatuses 22 are shown in the passage 20 although more or fewer may be used.
  • a typical corona discharge apparatus 22 employs numerous corona discharge electrodes 48 arranged in arrays and spaced apart from numerous negatively charged attracting electrodes 50 that are also arranged in arrays.
  • the corona discharge electrodes 48 can be referred to as an emitter array.
  • the attracting electrodes 50 can be referred to a collector array. Due to the many array configurations and electrode shapes that can be used, the arrays of the corona discharge electrodes 48 and the attracting electrodes 50 have been shown in FIG. 1 in a simplified form.
  • Each of the corona discharge electrodes 48 and attracting electrodes 50 is coupled to and charged by a high- voltage power supply 51.
  • the electrodes 48 and 50 are also preferably controlled and/or managed by related control electronics (not shown).
  • the corona discharge electrodes 48 are typically asymmetrical with respect to the attracting electrodes 50.
  • the corona discharge electrodes 48 are highly curved and resemble the tip of a needle or a narrow wire while the attracting electrodes 50 take the form of a flat plate or a ground plane. The curvature of the corona discharge electrodes 48 ensures a high potential gradient around that electrode.
  • the high potential gradient generated at or near the corona discharge electrodes 48 basically pulls apart the neutral air molecules in the immediate area. What remains after each neutral air molecule has been dismantled is a positively charged ion and a negatively charged electron. Due to the strong electric field near the corona discharge electrode 48, the ion and electron are increasingly separated from each other, prevented from recombining, and accelerated. Therefore, the ion and electron are both imparted with kinetic energy. Moreover, since a portion of the air molecules in the passage 20 is ionized, the air in the passage becomes a conducting medium, the circuit including the corona discharge electrodes 48 and the attracting electrodes 50 is completed, and a current flow can be sustained.
  • the negatively charged electrons are persuaded to move toward the positively charged corona discharge electrodes 48 due to the difference in charge between them.
  • the rapidly moving and accelerating electrons collide with other neutral air molecules in the area, further positive ion/electron pairs are created.
  • an electron avalanche is established.
  • the electron avalanche sustains and/or perpetuates the corona discharge process.
  • the positively charged ions are persuaded to move from near the corona discharge electrodes 48 toward the attracting electrodes 50. This movement is due to the difference in charge between the positively charged ions and the negatively charged attracting electrodes. Like the electrons, when the positively charged ions move they also collide with neutral air molecules. When they collide, the positively charged ions can transfer some of their momentum as well as excess charge to the neutral air molecules. Therefore, the neutral air molecules are knocked toward the attracting electrode 50 or are ionized and then drawn to the attracting electrode 50. In either case, the positively charged ions and other air molecules end up flowing from the corona discharge electrodes 48 toward the attracting electrodes 50.
  • the velocity and volume of the air moving through the passage 20 is proportional to the voltage difference between the electrodes 48, 50 and the size of the arrays.
  • the velocity and volume of the electric wind can be increased and decreased over a continuous range as desired. In any particular configuration, this range may be manually adjusted with a simple adjustment knob 49 or remote control that varies the electric potential between the electrodes 48, 50. With the appropriate configuration, air flows exceeding six hundred cubic feet per minute are possible.
  • one or more corona discharge apparatuses 22 can be disposed within either or both of the passage 20 and the flue 16 for the purpose of cleaning and scrubbing the air. Such beneficial and desirable filtering can be performed in addition to generating the electric wind. As known to those skilled in the art, contaminants and particles tend to adhere to the attracting electrode 50 during the corona discharge process.
  • both the air passing through the passage 20 and the exhaust gases exiting the combustion chamber 18 and being expelled from the structure can be purified.
  • the attracting electrodes 50 which are often plates, are preferably removable to permit inspection, cleaning, and replacement.

Nos. 6,504,308, 6,664,741, and 6,727,657 issued to Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc., of Belmont, Massachusetts.

  • the ozone depletion apparatus 53 can be a filter, a catalyst composition situated proximate the fluid, and the like.
  • the ozone depletion apparatus 53 can be situated in a variety of different locations relative to the one or more corona discharge apparatuses 22, the ozone depletion apparatus is preferably disposed within the passage 20 proximate the outlet 44. hi an exemplary embodiment, the ozone depletion apparatus 53 is generally downstream of the last corona discharge apparatus 22 in the fireplace 10. As such, air flowing out of the outlet 44 is purified by the ozone depletion apparatus 53 prior to entering the environment.
  • the air flowing through the passage 20 has been heated, the air is expelled and/or exhausted into the environment through the outlet 44 by the corona discharge process. Since the air has been heated by the combustion of the fuel 36 in the combustion chamber 18, an ambient temperature of the environment is elevated. In other words, the environment is warmed by the air that has circulated through the fireplace 10 and been heated.
  • the present invention provides quieter hearth or fireplace 10 operation compared to when a mechanical fan or a blower is employed.
  • the present invention also allows for a smaller, more flexible footprint than a large, circular shaped fan or blower will allow. This enables a larger combustion chamber 18 in the same overall volume for the hearth or fireplace 10.
