LOCOMOTIVE HEATER.
No.179,412. Patented. Ju1y'4, 1876.
WITNESSES INVENTOR N.FETF.RS. PNOTO-LITHC'SRAPMER, WASHINGTON. D Cv UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WILLIAM H. HOWELL, OF THOROLD, CANADA.
IMPROVEMENT IN LOCOMOTIVE- HEATERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,412, dated July 4, 1876; application filed April 15,1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, \VILLIAM H.H0WELL, of Thorold, in the county of Welland, Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, chairmaker, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Locomotive-Heaters, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
lhe object of my invention is to heat a sufficient quantity of water for the use of locomotive-engines by exhaust steam from said engine, thereby saving the amount of fuel required to heat the water to the degree of heat it receives from said steam.
Figure l is a longitudinal section embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.
A A is a cham ber occupied by exhaust steam from each cylinder of alocomotive. B is the locomotive-saddle. O G are pipes attached to saddle for conducting theexhaust steam. D is ajunction of said pipes. E is a checkvalve, preventing the flow of water from the tank when the steampressureceases.' F is a regulating-valve, so arranged that the supply of steam is regulated. G is the flexible joint in pipe between the engine and tender. -H is the connection of steam -pipe with the coldwater pipe I 1, leading from the bottom of the main tank of a locomotive-tender to the heater K. I J is the main tank in the tender. the pipe in which the cold water is heated as it is forced through by the pressure of steam from the exhaust into the hot-water WILLIAM H. HOWELL. Witnesses:
GEo. KEEFER, WM. CARROLL.
