  • Patent number: 4678400
    Abstract: This invention relates to rotary means equipped with multistage fans having excellent air suction and discharge effect. The multistage fans are spaced from each other disposed perpendicularly in a multistage manner. When such rotary means is disposed in a chamber and the multistage fan are rotated in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction, air pressure within the chamber gets reduced or pressurized at a balanced level. Thus, the chamber can be used for heating and drying purposes.

  • Patent number: 4596077
    Abstract: A heating process and its apparatus reduces air pressure within a chamber at a balanced level. The air retained within the chamber or the air suctioned through an outer air suction means is suctioned forcibly by rotation of rotary means disposed in the chamber and discharged outside the chamber through an inner air discharge means until air pressure within the chamber is reduced to a balanced level. Meanwhile, air friction heat is generated by continuous rotation of the rotary means, thereby the interior of the chamber is heated by air friction heat. Cooled outer air suctioned by the outer air suction means is heat-exchanged with heated air discharged by the inner air discharge means.

  • Patent number: 4457083
    Abstract: This invention relates to a heat generating apparatus and its process which utilizes the air friction heat generated in a rotation area of a rotary means. The rotary means which is installed in a chamber as the heat generating apparatus is effective to reduce air pressure in the chamber to a reduced balanced level. In the meantime, the air friction heat generating means in the rotation area of the rotary means is actuated and the air friction heat is generated, thereby the interior of the chamber is heated rapidly. Due to increase in air temperature in the chamber, the chamber can be employed as a powerful heat source.

  • Patent number: 4319408
    Abstract: This invention relates to a heating process and its apparatus in reducing air pressure within a chamber at a balanced level. The air within the sealed chamber is suctioned forcibly and discharged thereoutside by rotation of rotary means installed to the chamber. Then, the air pressure therewithin gets reduced at a balanced level. Meanwhile, air friction heat is generated by continuous rotation of the rotary means, thereby the inside of the chamber is heated by air friction heat. Any wet articles are incorporated in the chamber may be dried effectively, and energy consumption for heating and drying may be saved. Further, since high temperature heated air fully fills the chamber, the chamber itself may be used as a heat source.
