I J'oHifi BECKER. H Improvement in Arranging Steam and Water Pipes in an Exhaust Chamber.
Patented Aug. 22,1871.
PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN BECKER, OF CHIOKIES, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT INARRANGING STEAM AND WATER-PIPES IN AN EXHAUST-CHAMBER.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,183, dated August 22, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN BECKER, of Chickies, in the county of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain IlIlPI'OVOll'lGHiJS in the ll [anner ofArran gin g Steam and Mater-Pipes Within an Exhaust-Trough or Chamber, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my inventionis to provide a means 01 conducting the steam from any number of boilers, however located, to an engine or engines at a considerable distance with out exposing thepipes to atmospheric action, and for preventing c011- densation, at the same time to utilize the heat given out by the exhaust steam, for the twofold purpose of raising the temperature of the water in the pipes to supply the boilers and to surround the steam-pipes with a heated medium instead of colder air.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the arrangement of the steam and water-pipes an d their branches and connections within a trunk or eX- haust-chamber and its outlets. These branches may radiate or be formed so as to adapt them to the arrangement or position of the several boilers in relation to the engine or engines. Figure 1 shows a central trunk, T, with a branch on each side leading to separate boilers. The water-pipe \N receives the water from the well in the ordinary manner, and is continued and branched within the trunk T to the several boilers. E shows where the exhaust from the engine enters the 'trmigh T. S shows a goose-neck attachment,
which connects with the steam-chest or engine and steam-pipe S, and its branches from the boilers also conveyed through the same trunk or exhaust-chamber T. The vertical portions of the trunk, marked T surround the pipes S and NV, where they are raised outside the wall inclosing the boilers, to raise the pipes for being connected -with the boilers in the ordinary manner. E is an escape-pipe for the exhaust, and may be regulated by a valve, ifnecessary; not shown; As wood is a less conducting medium than iron, it will be found advantageous to use a trough, made of plank or good boards, sufficiently high and wide for laying the pipes and their connections so as not to be too closely in contact, but to allow a sufficient space between and around the several pipes for the distribution of the exhaust within the said trough or elongated and branched chamber. This is partly shown open on the top to show the several pipes and branches within it. The object in view, however, is to form it air and water-tight, and lay it in a trench under ground, not only to have the pipes out of the way of the machinery overhead, which subjects them to the shaking and jarring consequent, and induces leakage and displacement, but also to remove them from the contact of the atmosphere, which, in itself, would prevent this condensing influence, and, instead, surrounding the pipes with a heated mediumthat is, the exhaust steam as it escapes from the engine. It may be well to mention that an out let is made in the trunk, near the well or other convenient point, to drain ofi' any water that may arise from the condensation of the exhaust in, its passage through the trunk; in scarcity of water it may be carried back to the well. By this means the boiler-room or house may be sufliciently remote from the engine, machinery, and hands employed as greatly to reduce the mischief or serious loss of life and property in case of an explosion; or steam may be conveyed to another or neighboring establishment. In short, this arrange ment of the steam and water-pipes within an exhaust-trunk or chamber under ground is believed to be both new and useful for various other reasons not mentioned. Therefore,
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The arrangement of the steam and water-pipes S NV within a trunk or elongated exhaust-chamber, T, substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
JOHN BECKER. NVitnesses:
