Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method thereof for a dual heating system using microwave energy. The heating system comprises both heating a fluid heating media, and heating domestic hot water. The system includes an enclosure, a heating tank, a magnetron chamber, at least one heating rod with a hollow interior. At least one heat absorbing mixture or media is located within the hollow interior of each heating rod, and a microwave guide is associated with each heating rod to direct heat energy to the heat absorbing media. A magnetron is associated with each microwave wave guide. At least one inlet and at least one outlet for conveying the fluid heating media into and out of the heating tank. At least one inlet and at least one outlet for conveying the domestic hot water into and out of the heating tank.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a heating system. More particularly, the invention encompasses an apparatus for a heating system and a method thereof. The invention also includes a heating system using microwave energy. The heating system is preferably provided for heating a heating media and heating domestic hot water. The heating system includes an enclosure and a heating tank which is located within the enclosure. A magnetron chamber is located in the enclosure above the tank. At least one heating rod with a hollow interior extends from the magnetron chamber into the lower compartment. The heating rod has an upper section that is located in the magnetron chamber and a lower section that is located in the tank. At least one heat absorbing mixture or media is located within each heating rod, and a microwave guide is located at the top or upper section of each heating rod. A magnetron is mounted on each microwave wave guide.

A magnetron chamber is located in the enclosure above the tank. At least one heating rod with a hollow interior extends from the magnetron chamber into the lower compartment. The heating rod has a top located in the magnetron chamber and a bottom located in the tank. A heat absorbing media is located within each heating rod. A microwave guide located at the top of each heating rod. A magnetron is mounted on each microwave wave guide. A heating media inlet and a heating media outlet serve for conveying the fluid heating media into and out of the tank.

Abstract: A steam generator is located within a tank. At one end of the tank there is a flange. Mounted on the outside of the flange there is a magnetron that is cooled by a fan surrounding the magnetron. A heat tube extends from the magnetron into the tank. Within the heat tube there is a block of silicon carbide which has a passageway through it. The magnetron fires microwave energy down the passageway heating the block of silicon carbide and the heat tube. Water tubes about the inside surface of the tank spray a mist of water on the heat tube to produce steam which is removed by a steam line through ports at the opposite end of the tank from the magnetron. The steam may be used for many purposes but in a vehicle it may be injected into the cylinders of a four stroke internal combustion engine through the openings for the spark plugs. Make up water is collected from the dehumidifier. Water is recovered from the crankcase by a float system, and returned to the storage container.

Abstract: A microwave heating system is provided which uses a heat conductive medium. The heat conductive medium is heated in a heater. The heater includes a shell which forms an enclosure. The enclosure has an upper end and a lower end. A heating coil is located in the enclosure. The heating coil has an upper end and a lower end and has an inverted frusto-conical shape. The upper end of the heating coil is larger than the lower end. Three magnetrons are mounted adjacent the heating coil. One magnetron is located at the upper end of the heating coil and the other two magnetrons are located on opposite sides of the heating coil for directing microwave energy into the heating coil. An electrical distribution system is connected to the magnetron. A return line supplies the heat conductive medium into the heating coil adjacent the lower end of the shell. The heat conductive medium is fed through a feed line to a storage tank and into a two-stage domestic hot water heater.
