  • Patent number: 8479440
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, an apparatus for killing pests in an affected area includes a fuel source, a first air inlet configured to receive a first air flow from the affected area, and a second air inlet configured to receive a second air flow from an unaffected area. The system further includes a premix system operable to generate an air-fuel mixture by mixing a fuel flow received from the fuel source with the second air flow received from the second air inlet. The system further includes a burner operable to generate combustion air by combusting the air-fuel mixture. The combustion air is mixed with the first air flow subsequent to combustion to generate a heated air flow, and the heated air flow is discharged into the affected area. The fuel source, the premix system, and the burner are configured for positioning in the affected area.

  • Patent number: 4865013
    Abstract: A self-adjusting, telescoping concentric flue assembly provides non-separating, substantial flexibility between the telescoping sections of both the flue and the air supply ducts. The lower flue and air supply ducts may move radially independently of each other sufficiently to permit installation even on a furnace having somewhat non-concentric flue and air inlet connections. Attachment of the lower air supply duct to the furnace insures that the lower flue is likewise attached, yet the lower air supply duct can be raised independently of the lower flue to check the connection of the latter with the furnace flue connection.
