WESLEY PHILLIPs, or MORRISANIA, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN SPARKARRESTERS- Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,133, dated March 3, 1874; application filed January 10, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WEsLEY PHILLIPs, of
- Morrisania, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spark-Arresters, of which the following is a specification:
The present invention relates to newand useful improvements in spark arresters for steam-boilers, more especially designed for 10- comotiveboilers, but adapted to stationary and marine boilers; and consists of a sectional flare-pipe inside of a lower screen-pipe formed of wire-gauze, or wire cloth, and in a wiregauze, or screen, or pipe, which rests on the bottom of the smokebox, and in another tube or pipe of wire-netting at or near the top of the smoke-stack. It also consists in the arrangement and combination of parts, hereinafter described, by which an open exhaust is obtained. 7
I11 the drawing, Figure 1 is a vertical section of Fig. 2 taken on the line 00 w, and Fig. 2 is an elevation, showing a portion of the boiler in section.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I
A represents the boiler. 13 is the smokebox at the end of the boiler. O is the smokeflue. E is the steam-exhaust nozzle. F is a flare-pipe, composed of sections Gr, connected together by vertical straps with an annular opening around the top of each. This flarepipe is surrounded by an open pipe, I, (which it designed to protect,) made of wire-cloth, or similar material. The open-work pipe I is connected with the lower end of the smokepipe G. The smoke-pipe (l is surrounded by the pipe J, which pipe has a flaring base, K, which receives the sparks and smoke as they come from the fiues of the boiler, as indicated by the arrows 2. L is an annular space between the smoke-flue O and the pipe J. As the products of combustion enter this space they are screened or strained through the wire cloth pipe I by the vacuum produced, leaving the sparks and other solid particles in the space L, while the smoke or gaseous products enter the smoke-pipe and are carried up by the exhaust. The sectional flare-pipe is placed within the wire pipe I, to prevent the steam from injuring that pipe. M is a pipe made of woven wire, or equivalent material, which is placed at the top of the stacks. The ex haust will create a draft through this pipe which will draw the sparks upward with much force. N is a semicircular cap on the top of of the smoke-pipe G, against the lower eoncave side of which the sparks strike and drop by their own gravity to the bottom of smokepipe 0, from which they are removed through the discharge-tubes P P. The arrows 2, indicate the course of the sparks, and the arrows l the course of the smoke and exhaust.
It will be seen that, by this construction and arrangement, a direct open exhaust is obtained. The smoke and gaseous products of combustion are separated at the base or in the smokeboX, while the sparks are delivered at the base of the smoke-stack, from whence they are readily removed.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In combination with the reticulated pipe I, steam-jet nozzle E, and pipe 0, the surrounding closed pipe J, extending into the casing or spark-receptacle O, and open at both ends, sul'istantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose specified.
2. In combination with the reticulated pipe I, surrounding tube J, and exhaust-nozzle E, the superposed concentrically-arranged short tubes or frustums of cones F, for creating a draft and for preventing the steam from act ing directly upon the pipe I, as and for the purpose specified.
3; In combination with the smoke-discharge pipe 0 and stacks, the reticulated cylinder M, located at the top of the stack, as and for the purpose specified.
4. The smoke-discharge pipe C, provided with a deflecting cap, N, at its upper end, ar.
