文摘This paper proposes a loop-tube type thermoacoustic heating system without any moving parts based on the thermoacoustic effect. In a thermoacoustic heating system, the supplied sound is converted to heat and the heating point is heated. A thermoacoustic heating system differs from a thermoacoustic cooling system: The location of the reference temperature section at the heat pump is upside down. The authors construct a prototype ofthermoacoustic heating system. The experimental results show that the heating point reaches 100 ~C. It must be emphasized that, using this simple and inexpensive thermoacoustic heating system, noise, waste heat and unused heat are useful as a renewable energy source.
