POLYFUNCTIONAL GLASS-BLOCK AIR HEATER Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F23L15/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: air heater comprises a casing, where multi-channel glass blocks are placed, being arranged in a multi-row system of tying and made of a heat resistant reinforced low-alkali glass. Each glass block represents a thermoelectric section comprising thermoelectric converters arranged in vertical partitions and air channels made of elements that form zigzag rows, all elements of which, opposite to air channels, are bent at the angle 90° and are partially sunk in vertical partitions of glass blocks. Extreme wire sections M1 and M2 of extreme elements of upper and lower zigzag rows of vertical partitions to each thermoelectric station are connected with single-pole collectors of electric charges, which in their turn are connected by wires with electric accumulators.

EFFECT: enhancing effectiveness and reliability of a polyfunctional glass-block air heater.
