ABSTRACT:
An energy storage and distributing device having a heat storage chamber arranged for retaining heat which can be received from a solar collector arrangement or from a furnace or furnaces disposed within the chamber itself. Mounted on the chamber is a plenum arrangement disposed for directing warm fluid to a space to be heated, such as a room or rooms of a house, while a fluid distribution system is associated with the plenum and the chamber for alternately directing a fluid current directly into the plenum and directly into the chamber, and thereby supplying the plenum selectively with warm fluid from one of the chamber or from a source disposed outside the chamber. In this manner, solar energy, and the like, can be fed directly to the plenum, or stored in the chamber, or if solar energy is not available for whatever reason, and insufficiient heat energy is present in stored form within the chamber, a furnace or furnaces can be employed to supply the requisite heat energy. By this arrangement, heating is provided for heating buildings of various kinds in the most efficient and economical manner, and when a plurality of furnaces are provided, with whatever fuel may be available. The chamber is advantageously provided with a heat storage medium including layers of rocks separated by layers of discrete articles preferably constructed from cast iron or other suitable heat storing material and being in the form of a multi-pointed star which permits fluid flow through the separating layers of discrete articles to enhance circulation of the fluid being heated through the heat storage chamber.
