Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A combined space conditioning or heating and fluid heating system includes a main fluid conductor having an inlet and an outlet; a single heating source configured for producing low and high temperature fluid outputs of a fluid input received at the main fluid conductor inlet; a coil comprising an inlet and an outlet; and a supplementary fluid conductor comprising a fluid mover and a directional valve, an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the main fluid conductor is adapted for connection with the coil outlet. The high temperature fluid output is adapted for connection with the supplementary fluid conductor inlet, the supplementary fluid conductor outlet is adapted for connection with the coil inlet. The low temperature water output is adapted for connection with a fluid delivery point. The water coil inlet is adapted for connection with a raw fluid supply.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed herein is: 1. A combined space conditioning or heating and fluid heating system comprising: (a) a main fluid conductor comprising an inlet and an outlet; (b) a single heating source for producing a heated fluid flow output at said inlet of said main fluid conductor; (c) a first coil comprising an inlet and an outlet; (d) a supplementary fluid conductor comprising a fluid mover and a directional valve, an inlet and an outlet, wherein said directional valve allows at least a portion of said heated fluid flow output from said inlet of said supplementary fluid conductor to said outlet of said supplementary fluid conductor; and (e) a temperature regulator, comprising one of an S-shaped bend and a loop, for thermally splitting said heated fluid flow output into a high temperature fluid output and a low temperature fluid output, wherein said inlet of said main fluid conductor is connected with said outlet of said first coil, said high temperature fluid output of said main fluid conductor is connected with said inlet of said supplementary fluid conductor, said outlet of said supplementary fluid conductor is connected with said inlet of said first coil, said low temperature fluid output is connected with a fluid delivery point and said inlet of said first coil is connected with a raw fluid supply. 2. The combined space conditioning or heating and fluid heating system of claim 1 , wherein said temperature regulator is an S-shaped bend. 3. The combined space conditioning or heating and fluid heating system of claim 1 , wherein said temperature regulator is a loop. 4. The combined space conditioning or heating and fluid heating system of claim 1 , further comprising a blower configured to selectively cause air flow surrounding said first coil. 5. The combined space conditioning or heating and fluid heating system of claim 1 , further comprising a second coil adapted for connection in parallel with the raw fluid supply and a valve adapted to selectively cause diversion of the raw fluid supply through the second coil. 6. The combined space conditioning or heating and fluid heating system of claim 1 , wherein the raw fluid supply is water supply.
