Electrothermal space heating and air conditioning

Electrothermal space heating and air conditioning is based on thermodynamic principles and is very simple. The equipment involved in the construction of the system is standard and can be supplied by existing manufacturers. Heating and heat-storage features can replace oil, coal, or wood-burning equipment used in existing heating systems in dwellings, such as hot-air heating; low-pressure and vapor-steam heating, and gravity or forcedcirculation hot-water systems. It is also possible to make use of the stored heat energy for sterilizers, pressure cooking, and steam tables, giving the housewife all the advantages of the modern hotel kitchen. The system is practical and economical to install in any dwelling or building now existing or in new construction. It is estimated that the cost for converting a hot-air heating system to the electrothermal storage heating system in a sixroom dwelling would not exceed US$600. Studies indicate that the cost of the equipment installed in the dwelling is moderate and competitive with other first-class heating and air-conditioning equipment on the market at the present time.
