Description

April 26, 1949. H. A. RATCLIFF 2,468,234
I APPARATUS FOR HEATING BUILDINGS Filed July 10, 1945 Allorney Patented Apr. 26, 1949 APPARATUS FOR HEATING BUILDINGS Harry Arthur Ratcliff, Surbiton Hill, England Application July 10, 1945, Serial No. 604,208 In Great Britain July 3, 1944 1 Claim.
This invention relates to apparatus for heating single story buildings of the kind in which a gas or oil burner is placed in a heating chamber, the hot gases from which pass through pipes in the building and pass out of a hood or like device high up in the building in relation to the heating chamber.
In such apparatus as heretofore constructed the objection has obtained that unpleasant smell is caused in the building due to water and other condensed liquids finding its way into the heating chamber.
The object of the present invention is to provide apparatus for heating buildings having a heating chamber from which hot gases pass through pipes inside the building and out of the pipes into the building through a hood-like device situated high up inside the building, the combination with the pipes of check means located inside the pipes close to the heating chamber, said check means preventing liquids contained in said pipes from passing into said heat ing chamber.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the improved combination and arrangements of parts set out in the embodiment which will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings, the novel features being recited in the claim which follows:
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention in a diagrammatic manner:
Fig. 1 shows in elevation, partly in section, the left hand part of one embodiment of the invention,
Figs. 2 and 3 are views in section of details to larger scale.
The heating apparatus illustrated is particularly suitable for single story buildings, particularly those having relatively large and high chambers and adapted for places of assembly such as churches.
Referring to these drawings the heating element I is a gas ring at the bottom of a heating chamber 2 and pipes 3 lead from the top to a radiator 4. The heating chamber is near the side wall [3 of the building.
Another heating element and chamber on the opposite side connect to this radiator 4.
Pipes 5 pass from this radiator to a hood 9 with a closed top 8 and a closed bottom II]. This hood is placed inside the building near the apex of the roof I4.
The pipe 3 nearest to the chamber 2, enclosing a gas or oil stove, has projecting from the bottom a stop plate 1 which extends to near the center of the pipe and traps any condensed liquid running down the pipe and prevents it from reaching the heating chamber.
The hood 9 has holes ll near the bottom which allow heated air to pass into the building and the topmost pipe 5 has holes l2 in it just above the bottom plate in of the hood.
Any liquid which condenses in the hood will return through the holes ID to the pipe 5 and if it is not re-evaporated before it reaches the plate I it will be trapped there and re-evaporated because the plate I will remain hot.
A similar apparatus is used when the heating element burns oil.
I claim:
Apparatus for heating single story buildings, comprising a heating chamber having a fluid fuel burner adapted to heat air in said chamber, a feed pipe leading from a hot air outlet of the chamber at an upward inclination to a radiator, a plate rising from the bottom of the incined feed pipe to a height substantially one half the diameter of said pipe to stop flow of liquid into said heating chamber, said stop plate being disposed close to said chamber in a zone wherein the temperature is such as to rapidly evaporate the liquid and prevent overflow of said stop plate, and a pipe rising from said radiator and having its upper end open, a hood mounted near the roof of the building and on the top of said riser, said hood having a top wall spaced above the open top end of said riser and a bottom wall contacting with and surrounding said riser below its top end, said hood having a side wall surrounding and spaced from the riser and provided with a plurality of air outlet openings near the bottom, said riser having gas discharge and condensed fluid receiving openings immediately above the bottom wall of said hood.
