The difficulties of the prior Art may be overcome and the melted mantle 3 from escaping. In order to control in accordance with this invention there is presented a this process a regulator valve means 8 is provided to heating apparatus having a spherically arranged heating chamber means, a port for receiving ignitable fuels, automatically operating cut off the fuel supply 9 when the desired temperature is reached. When the regulator whereby the heat generated may be uniformly trans valve means 8 is opened hot gases are exhausted and ferred to the heat storage means and heat exchanger 30 heat collected in an auxiliary means. Further therein the spherically arranged heating heat may also be used for otherheat exchanger 10 said chamber means opposite the fuel port is located a sec ther improving the supply of available heat. thereby purposes

Further fur this ondary port means for regulating the internal pressures process allows for a very simple and yet efficient man and temperature, affording great heat transfer with ner of safely storing heat. When in general use the heat minimal loss. Further the spherical heat chamber means 35 is removed by a primary heat transfer manifold means 7. allows better heat disbursement and more rapid heat Provides a very efficient manner of heat transfer with transfer with little loss of the heat. Said heat is stored in minimal heat losses. It may readily be seen that a barrier a mantle substance means.
