3 Claims.
My invention relates to an improvement in steam boiler furnaces, for heating and other purposes, shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly described in the following specification and claims.
In the drawings Figure l is a perspective View of the furnace, with parts broken away and in section, showing a water jacket surroundin the combustion chamber, with grate-bars level with the lower wall of the water jacket, also a Plurality of spaced water tubes extending across the top of the combustion chamber and openin into the front and back walls of the water jacket; the view also shows a plural number of superposed sections-in spaced relation to each other, located above th combustion chamber, each section comprising a plurality of tubes,- connected with the chambered ends of the section, but staggered in relation to the tubes of the adjacent section, above and below, for the circulation of water and vapor.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the tapering pushnipples for connecting the respective sections together, and also for connecting the lower section with the water-jacket surrounding the combustion chamber.
Figure 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view through the furnace, showing portions of the endwalls of the respective sections broken away to disclose the connecting tubes in staggered relation to the tubes in the sections above and below.
Figure 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the furnace, taken at right-angles to that shown in the preceding view, to disclose the opening for delivering fuel into the combustion chamber, closed by a fir door, not shown; also a shaker mechanism for removing theclinkers; a water pipe to deliver water into the water jacket, under control of suitable check-valves, from a return feed-water reserve tank, and the water supply main.
Figure 5 is a horizontal cross-sectional view through the furnace, and the water tubes extending across the top of the combustion chamber, showing the water in the water jacket surrounding the combustion chamber in fre circulation with the water in said tubes.
Figure 6 is a horizontal cross-sectional view through the furnace-wall, showing a plan view of one of the sections in place within the furnace and its plurality of tubes connected with the chambered ends of the section; also a vertical port-opening, as in each chambered end section, through which the water and vapor circulate to adjacent sections through like ports.
2 Figure 7 is a horizontal cross-sectional view through one of the sections-detached fromv the furnace-in which arrows indicate the flow of water and steam through the spaced tubes, connecting the chambered-ends of the section, also the removable nut-plugs opposite the end of each tube, whereby on the removal of the plugs, the cOre used in cast-the chambered tubes may readily be removed.
Figure 8 is an end-view of the lower halfof the section shown in Figure 7, the tubes being indicated by dotted lines, showing the removable. nut-plugs, and the lugs, to maintain the sections.
in spaced relation within the furnace wall.
Figure 9 is a horizontal sectional view through a section adapted to be mounted above or-below the section shown in Figure 7, and to coordinate. therewith, whereby the tubes of the respective adapted to abut like lugs on adjacent sectionsto maintain the sections in spaced relation to-each other within the walls of the furnace.
Referring now to the reference numerals on the I denotes a water-jacket forming a drawings: combustion chamber 2, mounted onthe walls v0f the ash-pit 3, the walls of which support a.p1u-
rality of rocking grate-bars 4, adapted tobe manually operated by a lever 5. The combustion chamberZ hasan opening 6, in
the front wall of the water jacket I, whereby coal or other fuel may be delivered intov the combus tion chamber, closed by a door 11 The numeral 8 indicates the usual ash-pit doo and 9, a clean-out door.
Extending across the combustion chamber, and opening into the top of the water-jacket area plurality of spaced tubes IO, and superposed above said tubes and supported in spaced relation thereto are sections II, 12, and I3, see Figures 3.and 4, the respective tubes of said sections being stagered in relation to those above and below when superposed within the walls of the furnace, as indicated in the drawings.
Projecting from each section are lugs I4, to maintain said sections when superposed, in spaced relation within the walls I5 of the furnace. A tapering push-nipple I6, see Figure 2, connects the water jacket I with the section II, directly above, and similar tapering push-nipples respectively connect section II, with sections I2 and I3, for the circulation of steam. Tie-rods ll, rising There is also provided a pipe 28 connecting the. 1
lower tubes with the water supply pipe line and engaged with the lower tubes at the 1eve-l'ofthe upper end of the nipple. Thus-water formed by 1 condensing steam may collect in the lower portions of the lower super heater tubeswhereit will be subjectedto heat of products of combustion passing upwardly aboutthe tubes and this hot water will be reconvertediinto steam. If too much water accumulates in 'theilower'tubes, same-will run oflithrough the pipe 28*and. into the'watei supply pipeline.
Suitable water gauges" 24' are provided for the reserve-tank 2|"; the water'jacket' I, and the sec= tion"! I; see'Figure 3.
Rising from the top of the furnaceisa smokepipe 25.
Water will start boiling in the'water jacket" I, and thence the boiling point in section :I I j cire culation' of thesteam is then started throughout its entire course of 1 travel in the-boiler, absorbing all the he'at'transmitted by thehotgases-so that, when the" steam reaches the plurality of" tubes. in the l2iand I3, it is superheated; The superheated steam leaves' the boiler through pipe? I 9, to fulfil its -function of heating; cooking etc," and 'the" condensation therefrom returnsitoi'the reservetank 21; and thence to the-water jacket l 'asprei-' viously explained.
The tubes Ill are relatively narrow and convexshaped'at'the top and bottomfto effect 'thereadyi releaseuor discharge of'anyisootor carbon :that" mightoth'erwise cling; to the outside ofthe tubes and thereby retard" the rapid heating of: the watercirculating therethrough;
