The fue dom 2 communicates with the ginie 3 'of the vice, and it will' be mtfsd by refmenca t0 Fig. of the drawing Uhm', ihe gmt@ bams *With "she above, and oher obj'ecs in View 'which' will @ppea as the descrptiompww (lavica is a u'mel sha Sidmouth 9 of iypipe' membsr 10..-f-"h1s-p1pe member@ has a,

By this arrangement it will be noted. vthat when the fan contained. within the casing 14: is revolved the productsn of combustion passing through the pipe mein- 4 bers 5 of the boiler L'lare drawn throu h the ,pipe sectionl() downwardly throng the casing 14: and from thence. to the ash pit. directly below the grate and it will be fu-f' ther,s understood that the air from the fan,

will fnot onl add tothe combustion o the fuel upon t e grate 3 but will reburn the! products forced through the. pipe 17. I

Positioned within thecasing 1'2 and supporte-d thereinthrough the medium of suitablebrackete 18 is an auxiliary Water re*- ceiving tanl 19. This tank 19 has its upper extremity provided with an inlet pipe 20 and has its lower portion provided with a feed pipe 2l. This feed p1pe21 communieates with the boiler d and it will be readily noted that as the heated' products of combustion are passed 'through the casing 12 v the' Water Within.l the tank 19 will be parl tially heated, so that steam may be generated within the boiler in a short length of time.

Connected with the boiler'd is a pipe mem.-

ber 22. This pipe member has a suitable comparatively valve 23y and `the extremity of the said pipe vmember 22 projects Within the casing-,12

directly belovvthe tank 19. The end of this projecting portion is provided with a per-` forated nozzle 24, and it will be noted that es the steam is passed through the pipemem- 1oer 22 into the casing 12 and directly below the tank 19, the said steam will not only assist in heatingv the water Within the'tank 19but will edectively dampen the sparks of with the fuel upon the saidgrate. The pipe member 25 is provided with an vordine damper26, as is the pipe extension 17 lea indirectly to the as pit 18.

he products of' combustion `flowing throughthe conduit 10 and into the' casing nosoese' the nozzle' 2e, 'and distributed by the lower` end of the tank 19 and a einst the lower end of the casin thereby e ecting an intimate 'fjniirture of t `e roducts of combustion with Athe vsteam where y the density of these prod- 'ucts is increased so as to promote the final peesagethereo to the furnace. It will thus e for a practical novel coperation of a Water preheatng means and the smoke consuming means.

From the above description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be noted that l have provided a comparatively cheap and. extremel vice' for the purpose intendedy,r may be attached to any furnace of the ordinary construction and. one which will perform the functions for 'which it is intended with ease and accuracy. K

`Having thus describedv the invention what is claimed as new is`:- Y y A smoke consumer comprising in combinationwith al furnace and boiler, a conduit adapted to' receive products of combustion from the furnace, a. Water tank, a cylinder surrounding said water tank and having a conical end extending above said tank and connected with said conduit; an exhaust conduit connected with the lower end of said cylinder, means for returning products of. combustion passing through said c linder to the furnace under pressure, en in et and outlet pipe connected with said Water tank, a steam nozzle located in said cylinder adapted to direct steam against the bottoml Iof said Water tank, said Water tank bein disposed concentrically in said cylinder an providing an annular space, the bottom of the Water tank serving to spread the steam to separate the' downfiowing roducts'of combustion, whereby the speci c gravity of'said products will be increased.

seen that the construction shown provides simple de"-V one which In testimony whereof I aflix my signature A in presence of twowitncsses. A
