ABSTRACT:
A portable heating unit which may quickly and easily be installed in an existing fireplace construction is described. The heating unit, with a controlled adaptable damper system, greatly increases the burning efficiency of the fuel and is designed to provide a circulating warm air stream for heating a room. The heating unit can quickly and easily be moved from the fireplace opening to restore the fireplace to its original operation when the extra heat is no longer needed.
The portable heating unit may also be installed in a self-contained enclosure. This enclosure incorporates a triangular-shaped flue that interconnects with a nearby chimney. The triangular flue is constructed so as to connect with a chimney to the right or to the left of the heating unit enclosure thereby allowing one chimney to service more than one heating unit at the same floor level.
Furthermore, a radiator may be installed within the portable heating unit and interconnected to the hot water heating system of a home so as to provide alternate heating of the hot water system when the home furnace is inoperable.
The heating unit may also be converted to an outdoor barbecue when used without a self-contained enclosure.
