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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17978567 titled 'GAS FURNACE AND AIR CONDITIONER HAVING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a gas furnace and air conditioner system that includes a burner, a manifold, a heat exchanger, an inducer, a blower, and an air shutter. The air shutter is positioned between the manifold and the burner's entry and includes a housing with an inner space and a primary hole that can be opened and closed.

  • The gas furnace and air conditioner system includes a burner for burning fuel.
  • A manifold provides fuel to the burner's entry.
  • A heat exchanger is located away from the burner's exit and allows for the passage of combustion gas generated by the burner.
  • An inducer causes fluid to flow through the burner and heat exchanger.
  • A blower causes air to flow around the heat exchanger.
  • An air shutter, positioned between the manifold and the burner's entry, includes a housing with an inner space and a primary hole that can be opened and closed.

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 burner
  • Proper flow of fluid through the burner and heat exchanger
  • Adequate airflow around the heat exchanger

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Enhanced heating and cooling performance
  • Better control over fuel combustion and airflow


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 manifold providing the fuel to an entry of the burner; a heat exchanger spaced apart from an exit of the burner and providing a passage for combustion gas generated by the burner; an inducer for causing a fluid to flow through the burner and the heat exchanger; a blower for causing a flow of air passing around the heat exchanger; and an air shutter positioned between the manifold and the entry of the burner. The air shutter includes: a housing having an inner space that communicates with the manifold and the entry of the burner; and a primary hole formed to penetrate the housing and able to be opened and closed.
