IMPROVEMENT IN FURNACES FOR SMELTING ORES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,912, dated August 19, 1873; application filed June 30, 1873.
To all whom fit may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD BALEACH, Jr., a resident of the city of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Smelting-Furnaces for Orcs, Src.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings which form part of this speciication.
The great difficulty with furnaces in common use is that'they will not stand intense heat but afew daysordinarily aboutaweekand then they have to be rebuilt or repaired, necessitating a great loss of time and the expenditure ofthousands of dollars per annum. Besides this, the furnaces frequently burst when lled with molten ores or metals, thereby entailing a heavy loss, and being attended with danger to life as well as property. The object of this invention is to overcome, 'as far as possible, these difficulties.
In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure l is a side view of a furnace combining my improvements. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section; and Fig. 4 an end view.
A is the rechamber, and is constructed in the ordinary manner. B is a furnace for melting ores, metals, &c. C is the water-trough surrounding the sides and bottom of the furnace. D D are pipes for conducting the water into the trough 5 and E E are discharge-pipes, through which the water passes out of the trough. F F are gates or lids, which cover the openings through which the ores or other materials are thrown into the furnace. Said gates slide upon rollers a a on the top edge of the furnace; or they may be operated in any other convenient manner. G is aflue, through which the heat, &c., passes from the lire-chamber intothe furnace; and H the liuc connecting with the chimney. I is an outlet for the matter contained in the furnace; and K is an annular chamber surrounding the dischargeflue I, in which the water circulates around said discharge-flue.
This invention consists in surrounding a furnace, on its sides and bottom, with a trough iilled with water, and constantly supplied with a stream of cold water entering at or near the bottom, and discharged at or near the top, of the trough, substantially as shown. By this means the water is prevented from generating steam, and the walls of the furnace are enabled to withstand 4the heat, and will endure probably for years instead of only a few days, as heretofore.
`The trough may be continuous, extending all around the furnace; or it may be made in sections, and each section provided with a supply-pipe, and a discharge for the water, sub stantially as shown in the drawings accompanying this specification.
The trough surrounding the sides of the furnace should be high enough to cover the point occupied by the ores or other matter within the furnace, and two inches, more or less, in width, as circumstances may require.
The trough may be made of cast or wrought metal; and used, in some cases, without the inner lining of fire-brick, when the purpose for which the furnace is to be used will admit of What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A furnace for smelting ores or other purposes,having its bottom and sides surrounded by a trough or troughs of running water, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 24th day of June, 1873.
