Abstract

A system for the conversion of the potential energy of hydrocarbon fuels to heat, the system being particularly adapted to the use of the available heat in the heating of a fluid, especially water. The system includes a special form of heat transfer device by which the available heat, particularly of natural gas, may be transferred to a water supply in a heat exchange device of special construction.
