Application filed. July 8, 1914. Serial No. 849,712.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BRUNO F. F EYMARn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stand-Boilers and Water- Heaters, of which the following is a speci fication. I
This invention relates to combined water heaters and steam generators suitable for the use of bakers and others requiring steam intermittently.
The object of the invention is'a steam generator which will furnish dry steam, which can be heated up with great rapidity,and which can be repaired with facility.
Other objects of the invention appear in connection with the description of the apparatus shown in the accompanying drawing, and what the invention consists in is more particularly defined in the appended claims.
In the drawing, in which the several parts of the device are respectively designated by reference numerals, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the device, and Fig. 2 is a plan View ofa heating coil. I
Referring to Fig. 1, my improved boiler consists of a shell 11 in the form of a seamless steel tube or pipe arranged with its axis vertical and having screw threads cut on its ends. A cast-iron cap 12 is screwed on the upper end of the shell and a flange 13 is screwed on its lower end. A. steel crown plate 14 is bolted to the flange 13, a suitable gasket being placed between the flange and the adjacent portion of the crown plate. The boiler shell is mounted on a stand comprising a cylindrical sheet-iron casing 15 supported on legs 16. The upper edge of the casing 15 is flanged outwardlyand bolted to the flange 13 and crown plate 14. The lower end of the casing 15 is open, and a gas burner 17 having a pipe connection 18 with a gas main is arranged in the opening. The casing 15 has an opening in its side wall, which is vclosed by a door 19, to give access to the burner and to the interior of the casing. The casing 15 constitutes a combustion chamber, and in order to provide means of escape for the burnt gases a flue 20 extends axially through the boiler, the lower end of the flue being expanded and beaded over into a hole in the middle of the crown plate 1-1, and the upper end of the flue extenddle of the cap 12. The stuffing box is providecl with packing 22, and has a screw cap 23 and follower 24; for confining the packing around the flue 20 whereby a steam-tight joint is maintained. The flue can move lengthwise through the stuffing box without leaking steam or water, whereby it may expand and contract independently of the boiler shell.
lVithin the casing 15 isarranged a series of heating coils 25 one above another. The heating coils are separate from each other. Each coil consists of a continuous pipe wound in the form of a flat spiral.v The ends'of the pipe are turned up, and each end is provided with a union or coupling 26. The outer end of each spiral is connected to one of a number of nipples 28 screwed into tapped holes in the crown plate 14. The inner end of each spiral is led outside of the spiral and is connected to the projecting lower end of one of a number of circulation pipes 29 which are screwed through the rects downward the steam or water issuing therefrom.
The boiler is provided with a feed water inlet pipe 31, a glass water gage 32, a steam or water pressure gage 33, a spring safety valve 34, and hot water and steam pipes 85, 36, all of usual construction. The boiler also has an air valve 37, which permits the passage of air from and into the boiler at the start and close of the steam generating process. The air valve 37 is of usual construction, and prevents the passage of water or steam through it when the pressure in the boiler is greater than the minimum pressure for which the air valve is set. The air valve The gas is turned on and the burner lighted,
whereupon the water in the coils is heated, and turned partly into steam. The steam passes through the ends of the coils, part going through the nipples 28 directly into the lower part of the boiler where it is con- The upper end of each circulation.
densed, and part going through thep'i'pes 29 into the upper part of the boiler. The steam going through the pipes 29 warms the water therein andtends to carry it along into the top of the boiler, thereby preventing it from returning to the coils. Water flows through the nipples 28 into the coils to replace that evaporated and discharged through the'pipes 29, thus setting up rapid circulation through keeping them from getting.

able means, until the boiler is about onethird full. The upper part of the boiler will be automatically filled with air as the water level falls. The gas, is turned on and the burner is lighted, thereby heating the coils and turning the water therein into steam.
The air alve keeps the pressurelow, pre- .vents violent fluctuations of pressure, and
I enables and promotes circulation of the water through the coils. The steam is genera'ted in the coils intermittently.
First it blows through the water in the nipples 28 and in the pipes 29 and out through their top ends, and forces. air out of the boiler i through the airvalve. The steam condenses in the cool boiler and as itvcondenses a vacuum is produced in the boiler, and the g I g I "hav ng-a cap screwed on one end and a flange screwed on its otherend, a' flat cirhot steam in the coilseXpands and continues to flow out of the coils until air rushing into the boiler through the air valve equalizes the pressure in the coils and in the boiler,

is formed as before, and the cycle of opera Thereupon a quantity of steam tions is repeated After a number of repetitions, of the cycle of operations the Water in .the boiler and in the pipes 29 will be heated to such an extent that it will not condense the steam, and the waterin the pipes 29 will be gradually blown out ofthe upper ends of the pipes. When there is no longer any hydrostatic pressure on the ends of the coils attached to the pipes, water will flow con-1 tinuously'into the coils through the nipples 28, and rapid continuous generation of steam in the coils will ensue. The steam pressure has no efl'ect on the circulation of water through the coils after it is established being from the coils. will be superheated more or less, depending upon how hot the 'gas flame is-regulated to burn. The lower coils,
which are the nearest the flame, have agreater hydrostatic head upon them,v and consequently more water flowing through them, than the upper coils; and the size of the pip'e, length of the coil, and size of the burner areso chosen thatzthe coils all keep at about the -same temperature, whereby uneven heating and uneven deterioration of the coils is..overcome. "Moreover, the construction and arrangement of, the coils is such that one'or more may be'readily replaced when burnt'out without returning the boiler to the shop. Likewise, the crown plate 14 and flue 20 maybe removed and replaced'as aunit,'togetherwith all the coils, without returning the boiler to the shop,"and without requiring for theoperation; I
special tools or workmen- It is evidentthat modificationin the forms 7 and-arrangement of the parts of the device may be made without departing from the invention; and the invention "is not restricted f to the precise forms and arrangement shown.
