ABSTRACT:
A flue gas heat recovery system for use in conjunction with a forced hot air furnace, such system having two conventional heat exchangers, one located in the flue leading from the combustion chamber of the furnace to the chimney, and the other in the cold air chamber of the furnace adjacent the blower fan. Such heat exchangers each have a core connected into a hydraulic circuit which contains an electrically driven circulating pump controlled by a thermal device having a heat actuated switch located in the upper portion of the heat plenum in the furnace.
Such switch is connected into an electric circuit adapted to activate the blower fan and circulating pump simultaneously. The core of the heat exchanger located in the flue of the furnace absorbs a substantial portion of the heat in the exhaust gases which would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere, and utilizes such heat to increase the temperature of the air supplied to the intake of the blower fan in the cold air chamber of the furnace.
