HEATER.

T 0 all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. Ri'imn'r, a citizen of the United States, reslding at Eric m the count of Erie and State of l a Pennsvlvania have invented new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to heaters and consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows :Figure 1 is a side elevation of the heater, a part of one of the return passage manifolds being removed to better show construction. Fig. 2 is an elevation, the view being from the right of Fig. 1, the side cover being removed and a part of the heater being shown in vertical section through the center of the heater. Fig. 3 is a view of a fragment at the ends of the heater tube as on the line 33 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a fragment of one of the heater sections. Fig. 5 a perspective view of a series of the sections, one of the sections being drawn out to better show construction. Fig 6 is an elevation of the inside of the passage manifold. Fig. 7 is a section on the line 77 in Fig. 1.

1 marks the heater sections. These are made of the tubes 2 which extend across the heater. These sections are cast and the end portions 3 are surfaced. The sections are laid up one upon the other, the heater having the bottom section 4. and the top section 5 with an inlet 6 and outlet 7 for the heating medium, ordinarily steam. The bottom section is provided with lugs 4 into which the legs 49 are placed for supporting the heater. Plates 8 are arranged at the side of the sections 1. Studs 9 are screwed into the faces of the ends 3 and extend through the sides 8. Nuts 9 are arranged on the studs. In this way the sides of the heater are inclosed.

The passage manifolds or covers 10 and 11 are arranged over the ends 3 of the sections. Studs 12 are screwed into the faces of the ends 3 and nuts 13 are arranged on these studs. In this way, the passage manifolds are secured on the ends of the sec-.

tions. The passage manifold 10 has the inlet manifold passage 14 which communicates with the inlet 15. Liquid is admitted to the manifold passage 14 and passes into Specification of Letters Patent.

the series of openings in the heater. section at the top. Passing through these tubes,

it passes into the passages 16 in the passage manifold 11. These passa es 16 connect the tubes of one heater section with another.

Itwill be noted that the tubes of the alterfolds, that is, with the bridge piece 11, the

joints 19 between the differentsections need not be made tight as the closure on the surface 18 is entirely sufficient. This obviates trouble from warping or other difliculties usually encountered in making the joints of different sections of a heater tight. The liquid after passing through the entire series of heater sections passes out of the bottom series into the manifold passage 20 and is discharged at 21. The heater sec tions are preferably weakened between each tube at 22 so that if there is any strain, these parts of the section will yield.

lVhat I claim as new is 1. In a heater, the combination of a series of sections formed each with a cross tube with joint surfaced ends arranged one upon another; and covers for the ends having ferent sections, said passages having bridge pieces forming closures for the joint between the sections.

2. In a heater, the combination of a series of sections formed each with a series of cross tubes joined in joint surfaced ends, said ends being arranged one upon another; and passage manifolds for the ends having passages therein connecting the tubes of difierent sections, said manifolds having bridge pieces forming closures for the joint between the sections.

3. In a heater, the combination of a series of sections formed each with a cross tube and joint surfaced ends, said ends being arranged one upon another; a passage manifold for the ends; and means for tying the sections together, said manifold having passages therein connecting the tubes of the diflerent sections, and said manifold having a bridge piece within the passages forming a closure for the joint between the sections.

4. In a heater, the combination of a series of sections formed each of a series of cross tubes joined together in joint surfaced ends, said endsbeing arranged one upon another, the tubes of each alternate section being varied to give the tubes in the united sections a staggered relation; and passage manifolds arranged on the said section ends and forming a means of connection between the tubes of different sections.

5. In a heater, the combination of a series of sections each formed with a series of cross tubes with joint surfaced ends, said ends being arranged one upon another; removable covers secured to the ends of said sections for inclosing the sides of the heater; and passage manifolds for the ends of the sections forming a means of connection be tween the tubes of different sections.

6. In a heater, the combination of a series of sections formed each with a series of cross tubes with joint surfaced ends, said ends being arranged one upon another; and a cover having passages connecting the tubes of different sections, said cover being arranged with a manifold passage for delivering the liquid to a series of the tubes in the delivery section.

7. In a heater, the combination of a series of sections formed each of a series of cross tubes with joint surfaced ends, said ends being arranged one upon another, the said ends being weakened between the tubes for the purpose described; and means for connecting the tubes of one section with another.

8. In a. heater, the combination of a series of sections formed each with a series of cross tubes with joint surfaced ends; a passage manifold arranged with a series of tubes connecting the tube of one section with the tube of a succeeding section, said passage manifold having a manifold passage at its ends for connecting all the tubes of the delivery section with the delivery and all the tubes of the discharging section with the discharge; and plates closing the sides of the heater.

9. In a heater, the combination of a series of intermediate sections formed with tubes and joint surfaced ends; plates connecting the tubes of different sections at the ends forming a connection between the different sections; and end sections having discharge and delivery passages, for the heating me dium, said end passages extending longitudinally of the heater.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
