Abstract:
1. A method for heating water to at least a specified temperature without a flame comprising the steps of: providing a source of water and a prime mover; pumping water from the source of water into one or more heat exchangers; pre-heating the water using the one or more heat exchangers; heating the pre-heated water to at least the specified temperature without a flame using a dynamic heat generator driven by the prime mover, wherein the prime mover drives two or more internal wheels within the dynamic heat generator to rotate and compress the pre-heated water causing friction that heats the pre-heated water passing through the dynamic heat generator, and the specified temperature is controlled by adjusting a flow rate of the pre-heated water entering the dynamic heat generator and/or a speed of the prime mover; using the heated water in the one or more heat exchangers to pre-heat the water; and providing the heated water to an output.
