A flameless heater produces hot dry air utilizing hydraulic heat-transfer fluid as a heat transfer medium. The heater is powered preferably by a natural gas engine. The process begins with the natural gas engine producing rotary power which drives a hydraulic pump which directs the heat-transferring fluid through a dynamic heat generator to heat the fluid via an internal friction process. The heated fluid is subsequently circulated through a heat exchanger where a hydraulically-powered fan blows ambient air through to be heated. The heat exchanger also extracts heat from the exhaust and coolant system portions of the engine to further heat the air. The produced dry hot air may be used for general heating. It is envisioned that engines which utilize other fuel sources such as diesel, gasoline, steam, or the like could be utilized with equal effectiveness. |

A system for mounting a heater to structural members having a predetermined spacing includes a first mounting bracket having first and second mounting locations. The first and second mounting locations are spaced apart by a first integer multiple of the predetermined spacing. The system also includes a second mounting bracket having third and fourth mounting locations. The third and fourth mounting locations re spaced apart by the first integer multiple of the predetermined spacing. The system further includes a plurality of attachment points on the heater for attaching the first and second mounting brackets to the heater. The plurality of attachment points is arranged to locate the first, second, third, and fourth mounting locations in a mounting plane, with both the first and the third mounting locations and the second and the fourth mounting locations being spaced apart by a second integer multiple of the predetermined spacing. |

A heat generating device includes a sealed metal drum with spaced peripheral fins and houses a cage-like agitator mounted on a rotatable shaft axially disposed therein and extending through one end for connection to a source of power. The agitator includes a plurality of elongated flat bar-like vanes arranged in close concentric relationship to the drum and supported by spaced apertured hubs on the shaft. The periphery of each hub has serrated type notches so that the vanes are tangential to the hubs and in off-set alignment with each other. Relative to the direction of rotation of the agitator, the leading edge of each vane is spaced inwardly from the trailing edge of the adjacent vane a predetermined distance to provide a restricted passageway. A supply of oil within the drum is forcibly driven by rotation of the agitator through the restricted passageways to the inner wall of the drum and upwardly thereon to return to the interior of the agitator through the hubs for repeated circulation through the passageways. The oil is heated by the shearing force of movement between the vanes to heat the drum and fins and means are provided to distribute heat radiating from the drum and fins to any desired point of use. An expansion and accumulator chamber communicating with the interior of the drum is provided for heated air. |

The method disclosed includes positioning a furnace disposed within a shelter outside near the building, the shelter has an inlet for receiving ambient air and an outlet for passing air heated by the furnace out of the shelter. An air duct is mounted between the shelter and an opening into the building. A solid fuel is burned within the furnace to heat the air within the shelter and the heated air is transported through the duct into the building to provide supplemental heat in the event the supply of fluid fuel is interrupted.The apparatus disclosed includes a shelter having walls with an inlet for receiving ambient air and an outlet for passing heated air out of the shelter. A furnace is disposed within the shelter for heating the air and includes a grate for supporting solid fuel to be burned and an exhaust stack extending through the walls of the shelter for carrying exhaust gases from the furnace without mixing with the air within the shelter. A duct is adapted to the mounting between the shelter and an opening into the building and the heated air passes through the outlet of the shelter and carried through the duct into the building to supply heat to the building in the event the fluid fuel supply is interrupted. |
