Aqua dynamic water heater based space heating system

Abstract

A fluid-based heating apparatus that utilizes a centrifugal system with coupled friction heater to provide efficient heating by circulating fluids through the apparatus. The apparatus further including a central shaft connected to a motor drive that facilitates agitation of the fluid against frictional surfaces within the apparatus to generate heat.

1 . A fluid-based heating system comprising:
 a centrifugal system comprising:
 a centrifuge arranged within a centrifuge chamber; 
   fluid supply means for communicating a fluid into said centrifuge;   a friction heater arranged below said centrifugal system comprising:
 a main housing shroud; 
 a dynamic friction plate disposed within said main housing shroud; 
 a shroud cover plate configured to sealingly engage with said main housing shroud; and 
   fluid transfer means for transferring said fluid from said centrifuge to said friction heater.   
     
     
         2 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 1  wherein said fluid is water. 
     
     
         3 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 1  wherein said fluid is a glycol solution. 
     
     
         4 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 1  wherein said fluid supply means is attached to an exterior surface of said centrifuge chamber and extends through a centrifuge aperture. 
     
     
         5 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a central shaft configured to engage said centrifuge through a central shaft aperture, said central shaft further configured to cause said centrifuge to rotate when a rotational force is applied to said central shaft. 
 
     
     
         6 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 5  wherein said rotational force is provided by a motor drive operationally coupled to said central shaft. 
     
     
         7 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 5  further comprising a cooling coil. 
     
     
         8 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 5  wherein said main housing shroud further comprises:
 a first static friction plate positioned above said dynamic friction plate, said first static friction plate having an annularly disposed cavitation surface, said first static friction plate configured to receive said central shaft through a first static friction plate shaft aperture. 
 
     
     
         9 . The fluid-based heating system of  claim 8  wherein said main housing shroud further comprises:
 a second static friction plate positioned below said dynamic friction plate, said second static friction plate having an annularly disposed cavitation surface, said second static friction plate configured to be securingly engaged to and substantially flush with said shroud cover plate.
