The elastic huid is discharged from the drum generators or boilers, particularly to steam boil- 2i through a superheater 25 located in the coners with an economizer to preheat feed water or vection chamber I3 and having an inlet conduit like operating liquid for the boiler. 26 connected to the vapor space of the drum and An object of my invention is to provide an im- 5 a discharge conduit 21 for connection to a conproved construction and arrangement of boilers sumer of elastic fluid. whereby a maximum amount of available heat Feed water or like operating liquid is supplied energy in the combustion gases is utilized to preto the drum from a source, not shown, through heat and evaporate huid in the economizer. a feed pump 23 and an economizer located in the Another object of my invention is to provide an io convection chamber I4 and connected between improved economizer whereby oxidation and scale the pump 23 and the drum 2i. formation in the heating tubes are reduced to a The economizer in accordance with my invenminimum. tion comprises a first section 29 located near the For a consideration of what I believe to be novel stack I 6, that is, near the outlet of the convecand my invention, attention is directed to the l5 tion chamber It, and a second section 30 located following description and the claim appended near the inlet of the convection chamber I4 and thereto in connection with the accompanying connected in series between the section 29 and the drawing. drum 2|.

High 2 velocity of circulating Water in the second economizer section together with the function of the first economizer section reduces oxidation and scale formation on the evaporating tubes of the second economizer section 29.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
An elastic fluid generator comprising walls forming a combustion chamber and a convection chamber located adjacent the combustion chamber and having an end connected thereto to receive gases discharged from the combustion chamber, a drum, combustion chamber and partly in the convection chamber and connected to the drum and means including an economizer for supplying preheated fluid to the drum, the economizer having a first heating tubes located partly in the section located near the outlet of the convection chamber on one side of the heating tubes and comprising a bank of closely spaced cast iron heating tubes of wide diameter and a. second section near the inlet of the convection chamber on the other side of the heating tubes and connected in series between the first section and the drum and comprising a bank of Widely spaced steel tubes of small diameter to effect 10W velocity of the combustion gases through the spaces formed by the second section and high gas velocity through the spaces formed by the flrst section and also to eiect low velocity of the operating uid through the first section and high velocity of the operating uid through the second section.
