GAS FURNACE AND AIR CONDITIONER HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17978450 titled 'GAS FURNACE AND AIR CONDITIONER HAVING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a gas furnace and air conditioner that have a similar design. The gas furnace includes a burner, a heat exchanger, a blower, and a plurality of guides. The heat exchanger consists of a first tube, a second tube, and a bend connecting them. The guides are spaced apart from each other and pass through the heat exchanger.

  • The gas furnace and air conditioner have a similar design.
  • The heat exchanger provides a passage for combustion gas generated by the burner.
  • The blower causes a flow of air around the heat exchanger.
  • The guides pass through the heat exchanger and are spaced apart from each other.
  • The heat exchanger consists of a first tube, a second tube, and a bend connecting them.
  • The guides are alternately disposed in the direction in which the first tube and the second tube are spaced apart.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Residential heating and cooling systems
  • Commercial heating and cooling systems
  • Industrial heating and cooling systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient combustion of fuel in the gas furnace
  • Effective transfer of heat from the combustion gas to the air in the heat exchanger
  • Proper flow of air around the heat exchanger

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Enhanced heating and cooling performance
  • Reduced fuel consumption
  • Cost savings in the long run


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a gas furnace and an air conditioner having the same. The gas furnace includes: a burner for burning fuel; a heat exchanger extending long and providing a passage for combustion gas generated by the burner; a blower for causing a flow of air passing around the heat exchanger; and a plurality of guides passing through the heat exchanger and spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes: a first tube forming an entry of the heat exchanger; a second tube forming an exit of the heat exchanger and spaced apart from the first tube in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger; and a bend connecting the first tube and the second tube. The plurality of guides is alternately disposed in a direction in which the first tube and the second tube are spaced apart from each other.
