A.V. Luikov Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer, represented by engineer Olga Ermakova, proposes a calculation method, design and production technology for the "TermoHedgehog" device to increase the efficiency of using heat generated by autonomous heating devices of the "potbelly stove" type based on commercial agreement with technical support, looking for partners for a joint venture agreement and on a research cooperation agreement .

The device "ThermoHedgehog" allows you to increase the efficiency of the use of thermal energy in furnaces "potbelly stoves". The heat that used to fly into the chimney thanks to "ThermoHedgehog" will remain in the room and help increase the fire safety of the chimney and reduce the amount of products burned to achieve the required room temperature. Thanks to the original design solution, the product is easily mounted on the chimney.

The presentation of the device can be found here (in Russian).
