HEATING SYSTEM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 27, 1912.

Application filed December 1, 1910. Serial No. 595,119.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDW'ARD E. GOLD, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Systems, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to heating systems and has for its object to provide a rapid and economical generation and a quick distribution of heat.

My invention will be found very desirable for use in heating surface cars and steam cars although it is not limited to such use and may be advantageously employed in many other localities, for instance in g..- rages and other places where it is desirable that the heater should be outside the room or place to be heated and the radiator inside.

A practical embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein,-

Figure 1 is an elevation thereof partly, in section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the lower end of the heating pipes and casing, and of the burner, the latter being in full lines.

In the form illustrated, A represents the car floor and B a seat running lengthwise of the car. Heating pipes C are arranged with their upper parts 0 substantially horizontal, but inclined slightly toward the center where they terminate in lower parts a which are here illustrated as being vertical. The said pipes C, of which four are here shown, pass through the car floor and their lower ends are received in a box or casing D. Each pipe C has a certain amount of volatile liquid, as for instance water, contained within it, and a desirable amount is that when the pipe is cold the water shall approach nearly to the horizontal portion. The balance of the pipe has a substantial vacuum and this may be produced by i11- serting the desired amount of water in the pipe and then heating the same until it is converted to steam and has driven the air out of the balance of the pipe C when said caused to fill the pipe C and radiate heat from the surface thereof. The vaporization of the volatile liquid is very much assisted by the formation of a vacuum within the pipe, and the employment of this vacuum causes the volatilization of liquid within a very short space of time.

I have illustrated the heater as consisting of a hydro-carbon burner E to which liquid hydro-carbon is supplied. from tank where it may be held under pressure, through pipe 6' equipped with suitable valves.

The flame from the burner impinges directly against the lower part of the pipes G which may conveniently be arranged in staggered relation as shown in Fig. 2, and is turned back upon the pipes by deflector or baffle plate 6 beyond the pipes. Gases of combustion may escape from the casing D through opening (Z and from the outer box F through suitable openings in the same.

The radiating portions 0 of the pipe C may well be arranged lengthwise of the car under the car seat and in front of the riser as shown. Perforated shields G may cover radiators 0.

Although I have described with particularity the details of construction of my improved heating system, I do not consider the same to be limited to the precise structural features shown and described, but be lieve that the same is capable of being employed in other uses and with other equivalent devices within the limits of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A non-circulating, radiating, car-heating system, comprising a plurality of scaled pipes, one portion of each of which is situated in a lower plane than the remainder of the pipe and comprises a condensation chamber, the remainder of the pipe rising from said condensation chamber and extend ing in an approximately horizontal direction through said car and forming a radiator, with a relatively small amount of vaporizable liquid in said condensation chamber and a substantial vacuum in the remainder of the space in said pipe, said condensation chamber providing a liquid holding space having a thickness not greatly exceeding the thickness of the vapor space in the remainder of the pipe, a heater chamber into which the portions of the pipes containing said condensation chamber are placed and wherein said portion of ing system, comprising a plurality of scaled pipes each having an approximately vertical, downwardly extending portion, forming a condensation chamber and an approximately horizontal radiating portion, wlth a relatively small amount of vaporlzable liquid in said condensation chamber and a substantial vacuum in the remainder of the space in said pipe, said condensation chamber providing a liquid holding space having a thickness not greatly exceeding the thickness of the vapor space in the remainder ofthe pipe, a heating chamber below the car floor and situated substantially midway of the length of the car into which the portions of the pipes containing said condensation chamber are placed, and having the radiating portions of the respective pipes extending both ways in'the car above said car floor, and a hydrocarbon burner adapted to direct its flange against said condensation chambers and adapted to vapor1ze the liquid therein and to maintain the radiating pipes full of vapor, whereby owing to the reduced pressure in said pipes and the relatively small amount of liquid in said condensation chambers a quick radiation 0t heat may beattained, and a box adapted to contain said heating chamber and burner.

3. Anon-circulating, radiating, car-heating system comprising a plurality of scaled pipes each having an approximately'vertical, downwardly extending portion, form ing a condensation chamber andan approximately horizontal radiating portion, with a relatively small amount of vaporizable liquid in said condensation chamber and a substantial vacuum in the remainder of the space in said pipe, said "condensation chamber providing a liquid holding space having a thickness not greatly exceeding the thick'-' ness of the vapor space in the remainder of the pipe, a heating chamber below the car floor and situated substantially midway of the length of the car into which the portions of the pipes containing said condensation chambers are placed, and having the radiating portions of the respective pipes extending both ways in the car, and said portions of said pipes in said heating chamberbeing arranged in staggered relation an ydroc b n urner a ne ithsa d condensation'chambers working under pressureand adapted to direct its flame against said condensation chambers and a baffle plate in line of said flame adapted to return same against said condensation (chambers, said burner adapted to vaporize the liquid in said condensation chambers and to maintain the radiating pipes full of 'vapor, whereby owing to the reduced pressure in said pipes and the relatively small amount of liquid in said condensationch'ambers a quick radiation of heat may be at tained.

4. A non-circulating, radiating, car-heating system, comprising a plurality of scaled pipes each having an approximately vertical, downwardly extending portion, forming a condensation chamber and an approximately horizontal radiating portion, with a relatively small amount of vaporizable liquid in said condensation chamberand' a substantial vacuum in the remainder of the space in said pipe, said condensation chamber providing a liquid holding'space having a thickness not greatly exceeding the thickness of the vapor space in the remainder of the'pipe, a heating chamber located below the car floor and situated substantially midway of the length of the car into which the portions of the pipes containing said condensation chamber are placed, and having the radiating portions of the respective pipes extending both ways in the car, and said portions of said pipes in said heating chamber being arranged in staggered relation and a hydrocarbon burner alined with said condensation chambers working under pressure and adapted to direct its flame against said condensation chambers and adapted tovaporize the liquid therein and to maintain the radiating pipes full of vapor, whereby owing to the reduced pressure 7 in said pipes and the relatively small amount of liquid in said condensation chambers a quick radiation of heat may be attained, a battle plate within said heating chamber at the opposite side of said pipes from said burner and adapted to deflect the flame toward said pipes, and an outer box inc-losing said burner and said heating chamber, said heating chamber-and box each having openings for the passage of the products of combustion.

5. A non-circulating, radiating, car-heating system, comprising a plurality of sealed pipes, one portion of each of which is situated in a lower plane than the remainder of the pipe and comprises a condensation chamber, the remainder of thepipe rising from said condensation chamber and extending in an approximately horizontal direction through said car and forming a radiator, with a relatively small amount of vaporizable liquid said condensation amb a a s tan al ac m in t e remainder of the space in said pipe, said condensation chamber providing a liquid holding space having a thickness not greatly exceeding the thickness of the vapor space in the remainder of the pipe, a heating chamber into which the portions of the pipes containing said condensing chamber areplaced and wherein said portion of said pipes are arranged in staggered relation and a hydrocarbon burner alined With said condensation chambers and adapted to direct its flame against them under pressure and adapted to vaporize the liquid therein and to maintain the radiating pipes full of vapor, and means for returning said flame against said condensation chambers, and a box inclosing said burner and heating chamber, said box and heating chamber having openings for the products of combustion.
