Method and apparatus for thermally circulating a liquid

Primary Examiner: Davis, Jr.; Albert W.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: O'Rourke; Thomas W.
Method and apparatus for transferring heat from an elevated location to a lower location through a thermally circulated working liquid substantially without height limitation, in which heat is provided at the higher location to the liquid in a first stand pipe, the liquid is ejected as a result of such heat from the top of the first stand pipe into a collector communicating with a second stand pipe, the first and second stand pipes being connected at the bottom portions, thereby unbalancing the liquid levels in the two stand pipes, means for providing thermal equilibrium between the liquid in the stand pipes through the lengths thereof below the point at which the heat is added, and means for extracting heat from the liquid at the lower location. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention, which provides a heretofore unavailable improvement over previous thermal circulation apparatus and methods, comprises a method and apparatus for initially providing an unbalance between two connected stand pipe systems to provide a flow, but which balances the densities of the liquid in the stand pipe systems below the upper portion at which heat is applied to provide a method and apparatus which is not height limited.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved method and apparatus for thermally circulating heat from an elevated location to a lower location.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved method and apparatus for thermal circulation in a direction opposite that of conventional thermal syphon circulation.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved method and apparatus for thermally circulating and pumping heat from an elevated location to a lower location which is not height limited.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved method and apparatus for providing heat from an elevated location to a lower location which will not reverse the heat flow if the temperature relationship of the location is reversed.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.
