Abstract

111,478. Jezler, H. Nov. 14, 1916, [Convention date]. Straight tubes between headers.-In radiators of the kind having separately detachable sections or elements c between end tanks a, b, the sections are of such a shape and are so connected that when one or more are detached for repairs &c. the gap produced is filled up by turning one or more of the remaining sections about their connexions, so as to present an unbroken plane surface on one side, and consequently maintain an even draught of air between the sections. In the first form described, the sections comprise a number of tubes between end chambers, Fig. 6, the lower chamber being connected to the bottom tank by a screwed connexion d and the upper chamber h having a pin o engaging a recess pin the top tank a. The water flows into the top tank and through the hollow side frame c, Fig. 3, into a passage f in the bottom tank, and thence by an annular passage g to one set of tubes s, returning to the main part k of the tank b through another set of tubes t and a passage i. The normal positions of the sections c and their connexions o are shown in Fig. 3, the re-arranged positions when one section is removed being shown diagrammatically in Fig. 5, the plane face preferably being towards the fan. By a further rearrangement, the removal of more sections may be provided for. In a modification, Fig. 10, the sections c are connected to the bottom tank by a screwed connexion v, and to the top tank by a sliding piece u and screw union, in such a manner as to allow for expansion or axial adjustment, and the water flows directly from the top tank through the sections to the bottom tank. The sections may be arranged horizontally.
