The centrifugal heating system includes a circular plate unit mounted on a rotatable shaft in a housing. The plate unit is immersed in multi-viscosity synthetic oil, and includes first and second circular discs of equal dia. which are attached to and separated by a spacer disc of smaller dia. A peripheral buffeting area is formed between the discs outside the perimeter of the separator plate. Each disc of the plate unit is provided with slots equally spaced around the periphery, extending from the separator plate out to near the perimeter of the disc. Each slot is aligned at a 45 deg. angle to a radius of its disc. As the plate unit rotates, oil moving radially outward due to centrifugal force is drawn through the slots into the buffeting area between the discs where it is buffeted, which generates heat. |
