IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING AIR AND SUPPLYING BOILER S THEREWITH.
Specification forming part ofLetters Patent No. 145,568, dated December 16, 1873; application filcd May 17, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, G. EDWIN HIBBARD, of Fond du Lac, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Heating Air and Supplying Boilers therewith, of which the following is a specification:
My invention is an improvement in means for heating and forcing air into the steamspace of a locomotive-engine, as hereinafter described.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a locomotiveengine with air heating and injecting apparatus. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional elevation of the front end of the boiler, the smokestack, and the air-heating coil.
A is an air-holder on the top of the boiler, near the smoke-stack B, into which I propose to force air by one or more air-pumps, Gsay, one on each side of the boilerworked by the engine in any approved way, and connected with it by pipes D. E is a pipe, with a checkvalve, E, connecting this holder with a heating-coil, F, in the space G, at the front, from which the hot air and exhaust steam escape. This coil is continued from the bottom of space G to the top of the boiler at H, where it connects with the pipe J, inside the boiler, which extends back into the steam-dome, and discharges the air into the throttle-pipe J.
The cold air is condensed to the extent of the boiler-pressure, when it passes the checkvalve E, by the pumps, and what is gained afterward by the expansion is utilized as working force in the engines.
In case air-brakes are used on the cars, I propose to take the air for working them from this holder by a pipe, I, and thus utilize the same air-pumps for supplying them that I use for supplying air to the boiler, and save the expense of a special pump for them.
By the use of expanded air in connection with the steam, I utilize a large measure of heat, which is otherwise Wasted, and thus economize about twenty per cent. of fuel.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In connection with a locomotive-engine,tl1c heating-coil pipe J and pipe E, having checkvalve E, the throttle-pipe J, air-holder A, and air-pump 0, all combined, constructed, and operating, as shown and described, for heating and injecting air into the boiler, as specified.
