摘要

Heat exchange between an "intermediate substance" on the one side, and any"gas flow" and/or gases produced by hydrocarbon fuel combustion on the other,which is carried out directly in the "Completed multifunction element"designed asa multifunction fan having additional elements and operational functions.Specific Features of such a heat exchange increase efficiency of heat exchangeasat the expense of high speed of a "gas flow" organized as a vortex flow at apointof contact with heat exchanger coil and - additionally - because oftemperaturestratification of vortex onto hot and cold streams.Sketch_1(A). The technological circuit of entering gas flow stratificationinto hotand cold streams:1. Gas flow entering and vortex shaping;2. Hot stream localization and heat exchange area;3. Cold stream area;4. Cold stream removing area.Sketch_1(B). Basic concept of "Completed multifunction element":1. Gas flow entrance;5. Vortex shaper;6. Heat exchanger coil;4.

Suchstratification improves efficiency of heat exchange.Hydrocarbon-fuel burner is located in an air diffuser of the fan or combustionchamber is attached to the fan as an addition.Sketch_1(C).

Exhausted gas flow."Heat pump" with the "Completed multifunction element" described above canworkboth as a classical heat pump in cooling or simple heating mode, and as heatrecuperator carrying out heat exchange with environment and/or any gas flowincluding gases of hydrocarbon-fuel combustion in simple and inmultifunctionalmode.

Potential heat pump design with the "completed multifunctionelement" and features described above:1. Compressor;2. The "completed multifunction element";3. Reversing valve.The present method and the heat pump based on it enables to carry outincineration of hydrocarbon-fuel outside of a consumer's premises, and totransmitheat to it by classical model of energy transmitting from heat pump toconsumer'spremises.Sketch_2(B).
