Dallas news reports John H. Van Zandt of Marvelheat, Inc. unveils a novel heating system. Combustion gases are pulled from the burner at 1800 to 2500 degrees, sprayed with water, become steam, and enter radiators as a heat medium of about three quarters steam and one quarter non condensible gases. The steam absorbs heat and reaches roughly 200 degrees at the point of use, promising high efficiency.
The system claims 95 to 98 percent fuel heat use with automatic controls and an induction fan driving a water pump for condensate return. Two types are planned: radiant for heating any home size and a conveyor unit that avoids direct radiation. Claims include auto operation, no flues, reduced sweating, and easier installation.
