Letters Patent No. 106,388, dated August 16, 187D.
IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM-GENERATRS.
The Schedule referred t in these Letters Patent aud-making part ofthe same.-
inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, iu which- Figure 1 represents a sectional perspective view of my improved tubulous boiler.
Figure 2 is averticaltransverse section of the same, the plane of section being indicated by the line a: z, fig-1.
Figure 3 is adetail transverse section on an cn` larged scale of one of the tubes.
Figure 4 is a detail longitudinal section of the same.
Figure 5 is aV detail transverse section of some tubes showing the manner of erecting the bridge-wall between the saine.
Similar lett-ers ot' reference indicate corresponding parts. v
This invention relates tp tubular steam-boilers, and the principal object aimed at -is to impart a progressive heat to the water and steam, the maximum of temperature being at the water-outlet, and the minimum at the water'inlet ot pipes A.
The invention consists in the Vcombination of means employedrfor the accomplislnnent of this purpose, and which will be described and specified.hereinafter.4
In the drawing- The letter A represent-s aseries of inclined pipes parallel to each other. Their front ends are open, andare fast in the .wall a, while their rear ends are closed by the caps C.
These caps have projections 7)by which thcymay be. unscrewed with a wrench, and are alsov formed of a diameter suitable to the intended distance between the tubes. They are made to rest upon one another.
B is a steam-box, to .which the front ends of the steam-tubes are attached, and is inclined ina degree to correspond with the inclination of those tubes.
D is a bridge, which supports the lowest 4row of pipes and forms one of the walls ot' the furnace.
E represents a series of small tubes placed within the'tube's A, but extending beyond them in front, and fastened to a pla-te of the box B.
They have at their lower ends lips d, by which they are held parallel to the circumjaccnt tubes.
`Each 'internal tube -is preferably formed of about one-halt' the diameter` of the one surrounding it.
The .lips d are made to slide in the tubes A by means of the slots e.
The tubes E are open at both ends, and do not extend in the rear to the bottom of the surrounding A tubes.
Gr are tire-bricks or blocks 4of any suitable material, shaped to fill the spaces between the tubes A.
K represents the `fire-space, which is located beneath the upper halt` of the tnbesfso as to produce the greatest intensity ofheat at the steam-outlets, and the least at the lowest points where the water issues from the tubes E.
'B' is the water-chamber, which directly supplies the pipes E and E', the chamber into which the steam issues from the tubes A.
B" is the dome, from which the steam passes into' the discharge-pi pe H.
The mode of operation is as follows:
The water 4naturally passes through the pipes E by its own gravity, and seeks their depressed ends, where it is emptied into the. lower ends of tubes A.. At
vthisr-point is -the minimum of temperattue,` by
'reason of its greater distance from the lire. As it ascvnds, the intensity of the heat progressively increases until it is converted into steam, and tends to ascend by reason of its own levity. 'As the `steam then proceeds toward the outlet of the tube, it becomes morel and more superheated, until it finds its way `to the dome. K
I am awarel that tubes A E, one within another, steam-box B, andthe re-space K, aree-ach, in themselves, old.
ThatA therefore, I esteem to be of my invention, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-
The two series of inclined pipes A E, one within the other, combined with a re-space Kunder the upper portion 'of said pipes, all arranged to subject the water and steam to progressive augmentations ot' heat, as set forth. l
