ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the Wicks Efficient Fuel Utilization System (WEFUS) is to produce electric energy and heat simultaneously in a fuel conserving and cost effective manner. WEFUS is a new and novel system that combines the fuel conserving technique of cogeneration with the fuel conserving technique of condensing heating so that the resulting combined system has an additional fuel conservation benefit relative to a system that uses only one of these fuel conserving techniques.
The internal components are all conventional and include an internal combustion engine (15), an electric induction machine (17), a fan (18), a high temperature heat exchanger (20), a low temperature condensing heat exchanger (21), along with a controller (14), that controls the position of a solenoid controlled fuel valve (11) and a solenoid controlled electric breaker (13) in response to a signal from a thermostat (27) and conditional to signals from an electric power sensor (25) and unsafe condition sensors.
WEFUS also has some inherent safety advantage relative to conventional furnaces since there is no large combustion chamber and additional safety advantages result from conditions that are sensed and input to the controller which then isolates the system from the fuel and electric power connections if an unsafe condition is sensed.
