  • Patent number: 8151569
    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting thermal energy. The system includes an intake for introducing air at a first temperature; an exhaust for exhausting the air, the exhaust being provided at a higher vertical elevation than intake; and a thermal energy source provided at second temperature higher than the first temperature, the waste thermal energy source being provided between the intake and the exhaust. The air introduced via the intake, passes the thermal energy source, and is exhausted via the exhaust due to a difference in elevation between the intake and the exhaust. The thermal energy source can be a waste thermal industrial energy source. The system can include a first ambient energy chamber configured to pass the air through the thermal energy source and an insulated, and a second ambient energy chamber provided between the ambient energy chamber and the exhaust, wherein the second ambient energy chamber is a made of a slow-loading thermal material.
