CIRCULATION EQUALIZER FOR FURNACE FLUES James Z. Anderson, Brookfield, Ill.
, Application March 20, 1933, Serial No. 661,859
I 9 Claims.
This invention relates generally to hot air fur-- naces, and particularly .to means -for automatically .evacuating the mother flue of cold air when starting up a furnace and increasing the amount of warm air conveyed by the mother flue when the K sults.
furnace is in full operation.
I have discovered that cold air present in the mother flue of a hot air furnace before the furnace has been fired and while thefurnace is heat-- air or raise the temperature thereof, and where a the mother flue opens into aclosed room or space, the cold air in the room-must be-displaced orraised in .temperature before any substantial rise in the temperature in the room can take place. Here-v toforeexpensive mechanical means has been suggested for evacuating the mother flue and the cold room of cold air to provide quickly for a free flow .of hot air from the furnace and none .of these means have been automatic in action, and required.skillfuloperation to secure satisfactory re- My inventionsupplies an entirely automatic means dependent for its action on the state of the air in the. mother flue and the operating condition of the furnace, and the costs of manufacturing and installing .of my invention are so 1 smallas topresent no obstacle to its use .by every owner of a hot 'air furnace. In the drawings: Figure l is a top plan view and its motherflue showing an embodiment of my invention applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken through Figure 1. approximately on the line 2--2.
- Figure 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken approximately on the .line 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 2.
Referring now .toFig-ure .2 of the drawings, the numeral -5 designates .a hot air furnace including the customary firepot, 6. Spacedly enclosing the furnace 5 is the usual casing forming the air heating chamber and having the dome 7a. The cold air to be heated is admitted to the chamber by an intake 8. Before proceeding further, I .desire to call attention to the fact that any suitable number of mother fines 10. may lead from the dome 7a of the casing 7. :It will be understood that. the cold air entering the chamber through the intake :8 will be heated by contact with the furnaceand will rise in the-chamber and pass out.
of a hot air-furnace.
through the outlet neck 9 to which is connected the mother flue 10. This :flue .10 includes the usual horizontal portion which extends radiallyoutwardly from the dome 7a to convey the hot air toa room or other enclosure to be heated.
In the case of an ordinary hot air furnace it is in the horizontal portion of the mother flue 10 that the cold .air collects and opposes the passage of hot air to the room to be heated. As the furnace is first fired and the temperature of the air in the .air heating chamber of the furnace gradually rises, it exerts a gradually increasing outward pressure on thecolumn of cold air in the said horizontal portion so that this column of cold air begins to move outwardly, allthe time resisting thepassage of warm air through the mother flue. Since the column of cold air must gosomewhere, it ordinarilygoes into the already cold room, and there being no escape 'forthe cold air inxthe room thus augmented,- the air in the room will notrbecome warm until its temperature has been slowly raised by contact with such hot air as finally'enters the room through the mother flue Taking advantage of thenatural tendency of cold air to sink to lower levels, I tap the said horizontal portion at a radially outward point by connecting .to one side of the lower part thereof one .endof a. pipe or flue 11 of relatively small diameter, into which the cold air flows downwardly of itself and in its downward flow in the pipe is assisted by the movement of the mentionedcolumn of cold air under the impetus of the developing column of hot air behind the column of cold air. 4.
The auxiliary flue, which may also be referred to as an equalizing flue lies along and preferably in contact with the side of the lower part of said horizontal portion of the mother flue as indicated by the numeral 16. The elbow connecting the outer end of the auxiliary flue with the mother flue is designated 17. The inner end of the portion 16 merges into a vertical portion 15 which lies along and close to or in contact with the casing '7 and receives into its lower end a .neck 14 on the top of a box-shaped trap generally designated 12.
The trap 12 is horizontally elongated and its open inner end approaches closely the sides of the fire pot 6, the place where the greatestheat radiation occurs. The trap is placed through asubstantially fitting square or other. suitable shape of opening in the side wall of the casing '7 where it is secured by attaching means 13.
It will be obvious that the cold air movingdown wardly through the pipe 11 in the manner described and while the furnace is heating up will pass into the lower part of the heating chamber through the trap, but that as soon as the furnace gets hot, the trap 12 will be heated to such an extent that warm air will develop in the trap 12 and the direction of movement of the cold air in the pipe 11 gradually reversed until a column of hot air moves upwardly in the pipe 11 and entering the horizontal portion of the mother flue augments the column of hot air into the mother flue in a manner to increase the volume and heating efiect thereof.
A structural assembly of this classification costs little, is much more satisfactory than present arrangements of this character, and economically afiords safety and comfort not otherwise obtainable.
A careful consideration of the foregoing description in conjunction with the illustrative drawings will enable the reader toobtain a clear understanding of the purpose, features and advantages, the explicit construction, and the invention as hereinafter claimed.
It is to be understood that minor changes in shape, size, relative proportions, and materials may be resorted to in practice without department from the spirit and scope of the invention as now claimed.
