Abstract: An exchanger for heating boilers is formed of an external prismatic framework, a burner and an exhaust duct, characterized in that it includes a block of tubes formed of a plurality of tube sections positioned against one another horizontally and vertically, separated at equal distances from one another and integrated in a prismatic housing creating between them a closed circuit of water, leaving the tube sections free, forming different levels separated by deflectors in order to control the inflow and outflow of the gases produced by combustion, directing the gases as desired through the different levels, capturing the heat along the path of the gases in order to quickly heat the water in the circuit without losing calories and reducing fuel consumption as much as possible.
Abstract: A fire tube boiler, comprising a jacket for containing water to be heated and a tube bundle designed to convey exhaust gases, which is accommodated within the jacket, the boiler comprising at least two furnaces with a corresponding burner connected to a single tube plate to which the tubes of the tube bundle are connected at one end, the tubes leading at their end into an exhaust gas collection chamber.
Abstract: A method and apparatus effectively bypasses flue gas through or around selected boiler convection heat transfer tube banks within a new or existing boiler flue. Heat transfer tubes are removed, or omitted in the design of a new boiler flue, forming one or more voids at one or more locations within the tube banks. A bypass flue or conduit is formed within each void, for example using steel plates, along with existing flue walls, or using an integral sleeve. A wall of the bypass flue may include water or steam-cooled tubes. Dampers may be installed at either end of or within the bypass flue to control the amount of flue gas directed through each bypass flue.

Abstract: A heating system has a modular section which can be converted to use as a store or boiler and to burn either solid or liquid and gaseous fuels. The system can be further expanded by addition of more than one module to increase the heating capacity of the system.
Abstract: A portable power plant for combustion of solid fuels with contiguous generation of steam and power, wherein the plant is constructed with a low-profile, contiguous dual stage combustion chamber and adjacent dual stage boiler chamber for controlled pyrolysis burning of low B.t.u. solid fuels, the plant having controlled gas and air flow for phased burning and cycling of combustion products with capture and utilization of system generated heat for air and fuel preheating, the plant being constructed for vehicle carriage for mobility to the fuel site.
