HEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

, Patented Dec. 30, 1919.

Application filed December 14, 1918. Serial 110. 266,770.

the invention is to provide means whereby the fumes and foul air from the burner may be carried ofi without causing a loss of heat, and a further object of the invention is to provide for a constant supply of fresh air to the combustion chamber Without liability of the flame working back into the air supply plpe.

The stated ob ects of the invention and other objects which will incidentally appear in the course of the following description are attained in such an apparatus as is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and

the invention resides in certain-novel features which will be particularly pointed out in the claim following the detailed description.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective vie-w of a heater embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 1s a horizontal section on the line 2-2 of Fig.1;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section.

in carrying out my invention I employ an outer casing or shell 1 which is open at its lower end and provided at said end with feet or other supports 2 whereby it will be supported in spaced relation to the fioor. The upper end of this casing is preferably somewhat contracted, as shown at .3, and from said end a heating flue 4 may pass to the room or rooms to be heated. Within the outer casing 1 and in spaced relation thereto is an inner casing or drum 5 which is supported by brackets 6 extending between the lower ends of the two casings whereby an air space 7 will be provided to communicate with the flue 4. The upper end of the inner casing or drum 5 is closed by a plate 8 which will preferably be cast metal so as to obtain the desired resistance to warping while the other parts of the apparatus will preferably be constructed of sheet metal so as to facili tate the dissemination of heat and also minimize the cost of manufacture.

tion chamber, and from it a plurality of We ti'cally spaced outlet pipes 9 lead into a fume flue 10 which will generally extend to some point outside the building. Upon the inner surface of the drum are shields or. deflectors 11 which are secured at. their respective lower ends to'the wall of the same and extend upwardly in spaced relation to said wall over the inlet ends of the flues 9. The obnoxious fumes rising from the gas burner will be carried off through the

flues

9 and 10 but will be prevented from passin directly into said flues by the shields or de ectors 11 so that hot fumes must pass to and over the upper edges of the deflectors in order to enter the escape flues. All the obnoxious odors and gases will thus be permitted to escape without any excessive loss of heat. An air supply pipe 12 is providedat one side of the heater and has its upper end 13 extended through the walls of the inner and outer casings, and'fresh air necessary to support combustion will thus be fed constantly to the combustion chamber. To prevent the flame and heat hacking into the air supply pipe, a shield or deflector 14 is secured to the wall of the drum below the outlet end of the air The upper. portion of the drum constitutes a combus-- pipe and extends up over thesame in spaced Which-passes below the lower ends of the drums or casings and is turned upwardly to form a nozzle 16 which will discharge the fuel into a sleeve or cylinder 17 having a conical screen 18 over its upper end, and a screen 19 is secured in said sleeve or cylinder a slight distance below the upper end thereof so that the gas cannot escape too rapidly and will be subdivided into a large number of very finestreams which will readily iignite above the conical screen and produce a arge blue flame in the combustion chamber which will give ofl an intense heat from a very small quantity of fuel. The nozzle 16 may be of any desired construction and may be provided with an air mixer 20 so that the fuel will be diluted prior to combustion.

The lower end of the inner casi or drum and of the burner cylinder 17 Wlll also be open, and the said cylinder will be supported from the inner casing or drum by spaced rods or brackets 21, similar rods or brackets 22 being utilized to support the mixer 'within the burner cylinder.

A door 23 may be provided upon the outer casin to give access to the burner when cleaning orrepairing of the same may be necessary. The doorframe will, of course,

. vice by the use of which the heat from a gas be constructed as shown at 24 so as to prevent the fresh air rising between the casings from passing into the combustion chamber,

or the gas laden air in the drum passing into the space between the casings: hence the heated air passing up the flue 4 will be free of all obnoxious elements.

It will be readily seen from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, that I have provided an exceedingly simple and inexpensive deburner will be utilized in a highly efficient manner to heat one or more rooms. None of the noxious vapors generated bythe combustion of the gas will be permitted to pass off with the air which is to be admitted into the ieaeese upper end, .and the inner casing constituting a drum having a combustion chamber within its upper portion and its upper end closed, an air supply pipe passing through both casings and opening into said combustion chamher, a shield over the inner end of said pipe,

fume outlet fiues opening at difl'erent heights from said chamber and passing through both casings, a deflector over the inner end of each of said fiues, a gas burner nozzle above the lower end of both casings, and a cylinder around the nozzle within the lower portion of said drum and terminating short of the combustion chamber for directing mixed.- air and gas upward past both deflectors and into said combustion chamber.

In testimony whereof I affix my'signature.
