Heating System

[jens g.r. benthien]

I've developed a new casing for a single family home heating system.

Clean and smooth surfaces (easy to keep clean), an operation panel with knobs large enought for thick fingers (!), a display you can read without cursing because you've forgot your glasses. The panel is mounted on an arm and can be turned 360 degrees, and tilted from -30 to + 30 degrees.

Just wanted to add a high tech look to the dull, dumb and finger cracking designs that exist on the market...

Very cool bud


Is Wolf a brand name already in existence or is it one you made up for the render/design

[jens g.r. benthien]

yes, this is the brand - or better saying the existing company name. http://www.wolf-heiztechnik.de/

Most of their designs are - well, I think it's better I don't comment it...

I like it Jens!

Is this a sealed oil heater?


My Best,
Gare

[jens g.r. benthien]

huh, I don't know what you mean with 'sealed oil heater'.

It's a system fed by an oil tank in the ground, capacity around 2500 gallons, and you or the plumber just connect the pipes to your floor heating or wall mounted heating parts, connect the hot cold and hot water pipes, plug it in and start it. Oh, and of course you have to connect it to a large chimney ;-}

It's a hughe burner inside with a drum shaped container to heat up the surrounding water for heating and hot water supply.

I can't find any translation for it, sorry. It's not for a single room, but a centralized system you mount somewhere in your cellar or a separate heating room.

Got it, Jens. Stupid me. There are a lot of different types of heaters in the US; I was thinking small space heater, not Central.

Apologies.

My Best,
Gare

[jens g.r. benthien]

no need to apologise. It's my fault because I don't have the correct terms for these products: I've spent most of the time in the south and southeast, and when I was in MN and Quebec I stayed in cheap hotels where they heated the rooms with room heaters/aircon combiniation systems. So I never had a chance to point to that object and ask: how do you call this? ;-}

In Texas I had a small furnace in my house, but that's something different...

Hi Jens,

Very nice look. If you sell the design to a manufacturer, let me know if they can make a model that burns liquid propane.

Soquili

[jens g.r. benthien]

liquid propane? It'll be converted to gas before it hits the burner, or do you intend to blow your home? ;-} Just joking!

Well, they sell heating systems for gas - look at the attached beauties!

Hahahaha, could be a fridge, a tool cabinet - anything. The same old ugly stuff for decades.
