ABSTRACT:
Combustion heat energy from a fireplace or a wood-burning stove is transferred by a circulating flow of water for utilization elsewhere in a home. The heating system includes a chamber-defining structure configured to be positioned in a conventional fireplace or in a conventional wood-burning stove so that water in the chamber is heated by combustion in the fireplace or the stove. In one application the heating system is utilized to transfer heat to a heat-energy-consuming appliance such as a water heater or a clothes dryer. In another application, the heating system is utilized to transfer heat energy to a conventional home hot water heating system. Features of the heating system include a novel construction of a fireplace heating unit, and a specially configured hot-water heater which positively prevents water from the heating system co-mingling with the household drinking water. The system enables a homeowner to utilize a fireplace or a woodburning stove in much the same way a spare tire is used in conjunction with an automobile, namely as an auxiliary or substitute resource which is available when needed.
