PURPOSE:To obtain high power generation efficiencies by providing a heating system in which the tip of a thermal power generation element is positioned between inner and outer flame cylinders and heating is performed in a combustion device in which the thermal power generation element is heated by a burner and air blower, etc., are heated by the electromotive force being generated. CONSTITUTION:In a combustion device suitable for indoor open type heaters, an inner flame cylinder 8, an outer flame cylinder 13, and an outer cylinder 15, having large numbers of small holes 9 and 14, are concentrically provided, and a combustion chamber is formed between the inner and outer flame cylinders 8 and 13. A wick 19 to be guided vertically between guide cylinders 20 and 21 is provided in such a way as to position it inside the combustion chamber. In this case, a thermal power generation element unit 4 utilizing Seebeck effect if provided in such a way as to position its tip inside the combustion chamber in which blue primary combustion flames 16 and 17 are formed. By this, the thermal power generation element is always heated directly by flames, stable electromotive forces are generated, an an air blower (not illustrated) is driven by the electromotive forces. |
