  • Energy recovery and storage system
    Patent number: 4037786
    Abstract: Heat pipes are employed to capture energy normally lost in the form of heat in the gases in flue-stacks and to transfer the captured heat to water in a water jacket. The heated water is pumped from the water jacket to a storage tank where it is kept until needed. Control of the system is governed by heat sensors in the flue-stack and in the storage tank which provide control signals to a pump, or pumps, used in controlling the flow of water through the pipes between the water jacket and the storage tank.
