STEAM- RAD IATO R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,267, dated July 20, 1880. Application sied April 16, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LEWIS Gr. GOLDSMITI-I and NICHOLAS REED, ot' Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Steam-Radiators, oit' which the following is a sliecitcation.

Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of the improvement. Fig. 2 is a sectional end elevation taken through the line .r Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view taken through the line y y, Fig. l.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish steam-radiators so constructed as to have a much larger radiating-surf'aoe than tllose coustructed in the ordinary manner, and at the same time to induce a free circulation of air between and around their parts.

The invention consists in constructing a steam-radiator ot' a series of horizontal chainbers havin gcentral cross-partitions, except the upper one, and openings through them, except the lower one, anda series of' conneetingtubes, all cast in one piece, whereby a free circulation of steam is obtained through the radiator, and a free circulation of air around and between its various parts, as will be hereinafter fully described. A

The radiator is formed of live, more or less, horizontal chambers, A, each of which, except the upper one, is divided into two parts by a cross-partition, B. The chambers A are connected by short upright tubes C, the ends of which open into the said chambers A, as shown iu Figs. l and.2. rlhe lowest chamber A has an inlet-opening, D, at one end, through which the steam is introduced, and an outlet-opening', E, at the other end, through which the steam escapes.

In the lower part of the partition B of the lowest chamber A is formed an opening, F,

through which the water of condensation from lthe inlet part oi' the radiator may ow into the outlet part, and iiow out through the outlet-opening E. The lower side ot' the outletopening E should be a little above the top of the opening F, so that the said opening F will be always covered with water to prevent steam from passing through it. Through the iniddle part of' all the chambers A except the lowest one is formed an opening, G, through v manufacture and less liable to get out oi'ordcr than radiators constructed in the usual inanner.

With this construction the steam enters through the opening D, passes up through the first or inlet half of the radiator to the upper chamber, then down through the other or out letl halt' of the radiator, and passes out through the opening E.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- `i A steam-radiator constructed substantially as herein shown and described, consisting ot' the chambers A, having partitions B and openings Gr, and the tubes C, all cast in one piece, whereby a free circulation of steam is obtained through the radiator and a free circulation of air around it, as set forth.
