Abstract: A heat transfer controller is configured to control the heat distribution and transfer of a heating system. An exemplary heating system comprises an air intake, an exhaust mechanism, and a heat transfer controller. The heat transfer controller is configured to control the distribution and transfer of heat exhausted from the exhaust mechanism to the heating area, and can comprise a heat deflector having a width, length and height that can be suitably configured to provide variable heat transfer control characteristics. In addition, the heat transfer controller can comprise an arch-like configuration. For example, the width of the heat transfer controller can be configured to direct and/or transfer heat from an area most likely to have heat restricted or increased. In addition, the height of the heat transfer controller can be configured to generate a convection effect to pull heat outwards from the area with the greatest heat restrictions.
