Abstract

A high-speed and high-pressure injection heat-generating device is provided, and enables liquid injected at a high speed and under a high pressure to become heated by the force of the friction and resistance generated from the collisions of liquid molecules as passing through a heating generating unit, and thus the heated liquid can be used for the purpose of heating water. By connecting a liquid circulating pump to a liquid feeding tube through which source liquid is supplied to the heating generating device on the outlet side of the liquid circulating pump and providing a tube with bends in the heating unit, where the tube includes a plurality projections closely formed on an inner surface thereof, more heating efficiency can be obtained. Therefore, the heat generating device can provide a heating source or hot water thereby obtaining a high temperature efficiency in variety of fields such as heating and hot water supply, without consuming energy sources like oil or gas.

Claims

1. A heat generating device using liquid at high speed and high pressure, said device comprising:

a liquid circulating pump connected with a liquid feeding tube supplying source water, for feeding the liquid at the high speed and high pressure; and

a heat generating unit connected with an outlet side of said liquid circulating pump and having a tube provided with a plurality of projections that are closely formed on an inner surface thereof such that molecules of the liquid to collide against said plurality of projections and with each other, said tube of the heat generating unit having a series of bends along a predetermined length such that the flowing time of the liquid is kept for a predetermined period of time.

2. The heat generating device according to claim 1, wherein said bends of the tube of the heat generating unit comprise two or more bends in a continuous, repetitive path.

3. The heat generating device according to claim 1, wherein said liquid is selected from one of water, oil and gas.

4. The heat generating device according to claim 1, wherein another tube having smaller diameter than the heat generating unit and having the plurality of projections on the inner and outer circumferences thereof is mounted within the heat generating unit.

5. A heat generating device by spraying liquid at high speed and high pressure, said device comprising:

a liquid circulating pump connected with a liquid feeding tube through which source water is supplied, for spraying the liquid at the high speed and high pressure;

a heat generating unit connected with an outlet portion of said liquid circulating pump and provided with a plurality of projections that are closely formed therein such that the liquid collides each other to thereby cause the molecules of the liquid to collide against said plurality of projections, said heat generating unit extended to be bent up to a predetermined length such that the flowing time of the liquid is kept for a predetermined period of time;

a circulating pump for the hot water form the heating generating unit to effectively be circulated or discharged;

a liquid passway tube through which hot water from the circulating pump is returned to the liquid feeding tube to be supplied into the heating generating unit repeatedly;

an air discharge outlet through which hot air is discharged for being functioned as a heater;

a liquid discharge tube through which the hot water passes for having effect on the heating for houses and apartment complexes.

6. The heat generating device according to claim 5, further comprising at least a liquid discharge valve and a circulating valve.

7. The heat generating device according to claim 5, wherein said heat generating unit is constructed two or more in a continuous, repetitive way.

8. The heat generating device according to claim 5, wherein said liquid is selected from one of water, oil and gas.

9. The heat generating device according to claim 5, wherein another tube having smaller diameter than the heat generating unit and having the plurality of projections on the inner and outer circumferences thereof is mounted within the heat generating unit.
