J. B. SCHLOSSER BOILER Filed Nov. 5, 1923 A TTORNEY.

Patented Feb. 16, 1926.

JOHN B. SGI-ILOSSEQR, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

BOILER. t 1

Application filed November To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN B. Sonnossnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new'and useful Improvements in a Boiler, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters and numerals refer to like parts throughout.

'This invention relates to means and apparatus for obtaining a continuous and unifrom steam pressure where the working conditions submit the boiler to fluctuating loads.

The object of this invention is to provide a boiler or auxiliary thereto for retaining a portion of the energy when the load is light and imparting the energy when the boiler is called on for a sudden load demand.

The other object of this invention is to provide a boiler or auxiliary thereto to maintain a nearly uniform pressure.

In the drawings,

Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a boiler drum showing the invention applied,

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the containers used in the invention.

Referring more to the drawings in detail 1 is a steam inlet pipe connecting the manifold 2 which is provided with the distributing pipes 3. 4 is the usual cylindrical drum being closed by the heads 5. Along the sides of the boiler is placed the containers 6, of which there is a number of tiers extending the entire length of the drum 4 and the containers are super-imposed above each other with the longitudinal portion alternated in each tier. The bottom of the container 6 is formed exteriorly concave as at 7 to permit the tree circulation of water and steam between the containers 6, after they are assembled in the drum as shown in the drawings.

The container 6 is filled with the metal 8 which is of low melting point such as lead,

tin, bismuth, etc., 9 is the dome having the head 10 and the steam outlet 11.

The drum 4:, shown in the drawings, is used for illustrating the application of the invention. This drum, however, may'comprise the ordinary drum of tubular boilers. or the like, the drum being used merely to illustrate the application of the invention. From the description of the invention, it is apparent that the invention may be used in the water and steam containers of any make of boilers, the drum illustrated in the drawings forming no specific part of the invention. However, it it is desired touse a separate drum, it may be used and the sepa rate drum suitably connected by the pipe 1 to the boiler with which used. If desired, the blocks may be positioned in the steam dome in which certain amount of condensation will take place. However, it is the intention to place the containers in the water contained within the boiler as this water will be raised to a sufliciently high temperature to effect the purposes desired.

From the above description it will be apparent by connecting my device in the steam line the steam can be regulated to the required temperature and thus while the boiler is at light load the excess heat will melt the metal 8. A suitable composition tor the purpose would be an equal amount of lead and tin or a mixture of one-half parts of tin to one part of lead, so that the melting point would be low enough to permit the water contained within the boiler to melt the metal which is placed within the receptacle 6. It is apparent that there will be some condensation and a certain amount of water will reside in the easing now, therefore as the load is increased the metal 8 which has been heated, by its cooling will impart its heat to the water 12, and generate addditional steam to take care of the sudden loa I Thus having described my invention what I claim is new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: e

1. A device of the'class described, adapted for positioning in a receptacle in c0111 munication with a boiler, and adapted for being surrounded by the water of the boiler, comprising a plurality of separate rectangularly shaped receptacles having eXt-eriorly concave bases, said receptacles being filled With a metal of a low melting point.

2. A device of the class described comprising a plurality of superimposed rectangularly-shaped receptacles, adapted for positioning in the water of a boiler, said receptacles being filled with a metal of a melting point below the normal temperature of the water in said boiler when in operation.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature. JOHN B. SCHLOS'SER.
