MERCURY BO ILER FEEDER SYSTEM Filed May 4, 1929 M J/MW ATTORNEYS Patented Oct. 18, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HOWARD J. KERR, OF WESTFIELD, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR Td THE BABCOCK &, WILCOX COMPANY, OF BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY MERCURY BOILER FEEDER SYSTEM Application filed May 4, 1929. Serial No. 360,391.
This invention relates to a feeder system for a mercury boiler that comprises a plurality of horizontally disposed headers installed side by side.
The invention wili be understood from the description in connection with the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a vertical section partly broken away through an illusirative embodiment of the invention taken along the line 11 of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a section taken along the line 22 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a plan View taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
In the drawing reference character 1 indicates a mercury feed pipe through which liquid mercury enters from any convenient source. pipe or header 2 that is provided with avalved drain 3 at the bottom thereof. The cross pipe or header 2 is provided with branches The pipe 1 is connected to a cross.

4 that lead to aligned headers 5 that are 7 located at substantially the same level as the headers of the mercury boiler itself. Liquid mercury tubes 6 lead from the lower sides of the headers 5 into the ends of the mercury boiler headers 7 and equalizing tubes 8 lead from the vapor space of the headers 7 to the upper sides of the headers 5.
V The row of horizontally disposed headers 7 of the mercury boiler is located at the upper end of the furnace 9 and depending tubes 10 from the lower sides of the headers 7 extend into the furnace in the usual manner.
The headers 7 are supported from above by means of rods 11 that are connected to the upper sides of the headers and extend from fixed supports 12.
By the arrangement of the feeding system above described, the distribution is such that a uniform flow of liquid mercury is provided to all sections of the boiler and the level in all headers of the boiler is equalized. The drain pipe 3 is provided so that the mercury 1 can be drained out into a separate tank or vessel in case one of the tubes 10 becomes ruptured.
Changes of temperature in the metal of tubes, headers'and connected parts do not result in any stresses suificient to cause leaks
