Description

SPECIFICATION

In heating or drying, cooling or freezing, absorbing heat for heat energy, and producing heat for energy, this invention is composed of metal tubes through within a metal tank and metal coil tube between the tubes and the tank. For condenser boiler a steam vent is located at the top of the tank, and a water inlet and outlet at opposite end at the bottom of the tank for series connection.

The boiler, water heater, radiator, evaporator, condenser and liquid receiver that are commonly used is limited to its design and purpose. The boiler that's commonly use are bulky, heavy in construction, requires high pressure to circulate steam and liquid to the radiator, it looses heat and water by venting steam. The radiator commonly used for boilers are separate unit, which accommodate extra space, and require special installation. The radiator that is commonly used to cool liquid within the radiator requires high pressure to push the liquid through the tubes due to the liquid density, and dissipates heat to the environment. The evaporator commonly used doesn't allow gas to freely expand due to the small diameter of the evaporator tube, the refrigerant stays longer in evaporator due to the evaporator tube length and there is no evaporator within a reverse evaporator, which makes the tank function as reverse evaporator effect The common evaporator used to harness heat for energy has limitation to how much heat it can absorb because the refrigerant goes through a very long tube, which leads to slower flow of the refrigerant. There's no boiler being heated by a condenser. The water heaters commonly used ate less energy efficient. The condenser commonly used requires a separate liquid receiver, and the bigger the condenser much more refrigerant is needed.

I have invented a single design that has multiple add inter-changeable application as well as new application for the product. Boiler reverse radiator with metal coil tube condenser between the tubes and tank is a heater during cold season when used with a heat source and reverse evaporator effect with metal coil tube evaporator between the tubes and tank is a cooling unit daring warm season when used with a refrigeration or air-conditioning unit, the design doesn't require separate installation of radiator or evaporator, eliminates venting of steam which conserve water due to safe low-pressure operation of the boiler, faster heating and cooling due to greater

area to dissipate heat or cold with the aid of the blower. Boiier reverse radiator with metal coil tube condenser between the tubes and tank is a much effective heater or dryer due to fast dissipation of heat with the aid of the blower, safe low-pressure operation. Reverse radiator beater wiih metal coil tube for cooling the liquid between the tubes and the tank and dissipate the heat as a heater, the design does not requires high pressure Io push the liquid through the tubes, in this design air flows through the tubes with much ease due to less friction. Evaporator reverse radiator with metal coil tube evaporator between the tubes and tank is a new product that cools the liquid in the reverse radiator when used with refrigeration and air-conditioning, the evaporator tubes and metal coil tube evaporator between the tubes and the tank absorbs the heat from the reverse radiator for heat energy, this design doesn't dissipate heat to the environment. Evaporator reverse condenser and liquid receiver with metal coil tube evaporator between the tubes and tank is a new product that cools refrigerant in the reverse condenser, the evaporator tubes and metal coil rube evaporator between the rubes and the tank absorbs the beat from the reverse condenser for heat energy, mis design doesn't dissipate heat to the environment Reverse evaporator with metal coil tube evaporator between the tubes and tank for cooling or absorbing heat, the design dissipates cold faster and absorbs heat more due to greater area for cold and heat exchange, allow refrigerant to expand free. Reverse evaporator effect with metal coil tube evaporator between the tubes and tank is a new product for cooling, the metal coil evaporator between the tubes and the tank cools or freezes the liquid between the tubes and the tank, the quantity of tubes that function as reverse evaporator effect can dissipate more cold faster. Reverse condenser liquid receiver with metal coil tube between the tubes and tank for heating, the more tabes within the tank more heat can be dissipated and less refrigerant is needed, the space between the tubes and the tank is a liquid receiver at the lowest portion of the tank Condenser water heater and condenser pre-water heater in series with metal coil tube condenser between the tubes and tank is a new product, the superheated refrigerant heats the water between the tubes and the tank and pre-heat the water between the tubes and the tank respectively. Condenser boiler with metal coil tube condenser between the tubes and tank is a new product and heavy-duty construction to produce steam for energy, the superheated refrigerant heats and boils the liquid between the tubes and the tank and will create steam pressure. The very important advantage of the design when used with refrigeration and air-conditioning is absorbing beat in the atmosphere or liquid and use the heat for heat energy, and dissipating cold in the atmosphere and liquid at the same time.
