Abstract

A heat generator is provided that includes a compressor driven by electricity that increases the temperature and pressure of a FREON composition which passes through a heat exchanger to generate heat for other uses, a flow restrictor which feeds a fluid expansion tank which, in turn, feeds the compressor. The system is characterized such that no significant heat transfer is made to the generator from ambient conditions and a limited change of FREON is used in the generator.
