  • the conductor 43 extends to a contact 44 on a lever 46 influenced or controlled by a pressure cell 47 subject to pressure in the outlet 11.
  • the contact 44 cooperates with a contact 49 joined by a wire 51 to a master switch 52.
  • Furnishing electromotive force for the electrical circuit is a storage battery 53, or other suitable source of electromotive force, one side of which is grounded as at 54 and the other side of which is connected by a lead 56 to the master switch 52.
  • a storage battery 53 or other suitable source of electromotive force, one side of which is grounded as at 54 and the other side of which is connected by a lead 56 to the master switch 52.
  • the pressure in the tube 8 is below a predetermined value and when the master switch 52 is closed, current flows in the conductor 43 to the contact 41. If the contact 41 is in abutment with a cooperating contact 61 the current continues to flow through a lead 62 extending to one side of the electric motor 16, the other side of which is connected to ground by a wire 63, thus completing the circuit to the motor and causing the blower 14 to be driven.
  • the temperature adjacent the thermostat 36 increases until it arrives at such a value that the thermostat rod 37 causes the rocker 39 to rotate on its pivot suificiently to separate the contacts 41 and 61, thus breaking the circuit to the blower motor 16 and causing a cessation of the heat supply to the boiler tube 8.
  • the blower supplies heat to the boiler at all temperatures up to and including a predetermined temperature at which the contacts 41 and 61 separate, while above such predetermined temperature the blower 14 is not driven and the supply of heat is interrupted or stopped.
  • I preferably provide at the extremity of the rocker 39 a contact 71 which is adapted to cooperate with a contact '72 connected by a lead 73 .to the conductor 43.
  • a contact 71 which is adapted to cooperate with a contact '72 connected by a lead 73 .to the conductor 43.
  • the electromagnet '16 controls the operation of a valve '78 governing flow through the conduit 32 so that when the solenoid or electromagnet 76 is energized, steam generated withinthe tube 8 flows through the conductor 32 and to the steam engine 31 thereby causing the pump 26 to extract feed fluid from the reservoir or source 23 and introduce it through the conduit 2'7 and past a check valve 80 into the primary inlet 9 of the boiler tube 8.
  • I preferably provide a branch conduit 81 intersecting the conduit 27 adjacent the primary inlet 9 of the boiler tube, and extending to a secondary inlet 82 of the boiler tube 8.
  • the secondary inlet is adjacent the thermostat 36 and is preferably between the thermostat and the primary inlet 9.
  • the point" of entry of the secondary inlet is referred to. I It must be understood that this refers to the location, or place, or region, or situation of the inlet rather than exclusively to a mathematical "point.
  • the control orifice 83 preferably comprises a standard coupling having a male unit 84 and a female unit 86 between which there is clamped a disc 87 provided with an aperture or orifice 88 therethrough.
  • the size of the orifice 88 is fixed but by releasing the members of the coupling 83 and inserting discs comparable to the disc 87 but having different sized orifices 88 therethrough it is possible to provide the desired flow through the branch conduit 81.
  • the proportion of the total feed fluid which flows through the branch conduit 81 is about ten percent. of the total flowing through the conduit 27 leaving a remainder of approximately ninety percent. to flow through the primary inlet 9.
  • the effect of the injection of the feed fluid is first on the thermostat 36 which is cooled markedly by the secondary water flowing into the inlet 82 and causes the thermostat rod 37 to move so that contacts 71 and 72 are separated thus breaking the circuit to the electromagnet 76 and stopping steam flow to the engine 31 whereupon the pump 26 ceases further pumping of water into the boiler tube 8. That is, flow occurs at the same time in conduits 9 and 82. It is initiated at the same time and terminated at the same time and can therefore be said to be in synchronism and in phase.
  • the contacts '71 and 72 can open and close with greater or less rapidity and since they are usually adjusted with respect to the contacts 41 and 61 so that the contacts '71 and 72 close preferably at a first predetermined temperature. while the contacts 41 and 61 open at a second predetermined temperature which is a few degrees higher than the first predetermined temperature, the feeding of water into the boiler is rapidly intermittent.
  • the pressure cell 47 causes the rocker 46 to separate the con-' tacts 44 and 49 thereby not only causing an interruption in the supply of heat by virtue of stopping the operation of the blower 14 but also deenergizing the electromagnetr'lfi so that the valve '78 is closed and further supply of feed water to the boiler is entirely interrupted.
  • the preferred adjustment of the device is such, under a typical condition, that the pressure regulator is set for approxixnatelyl500 pounds per square men while the; contacts 41 and 61' are normally closedunder low temperatures but open at approximately 900'degrees Fahrenheit, while the contacts 71 and 72 are adjusted to close at approximately 890 sdegrees Fahrenheit.
