Connected to the upper conduit 5I are respective exhaust conduits 53, leading to the exhaust flue of the engines. The conduits 53 are interconnected by by-pass conduits 54, and the end conduit 53 is connected to a conduit 55 leading to the top Wall portion of shell 43. A damper valve 56 is provided in conduit 55. l
In operation, hollow core 38 is surrounded by the Water in boiler 23. The hot exhaust gases flow upwardly into core 38 from the exhaust manifolds l2 of the engines Il, through conduits 52, and enter conduit 50. The hot gases iiow through conduit 50 to the right, as viewed 'in Figure 1, and enter the space in shell 43. Part of the hot gases ows through the tubes 42 to the space in shell 41 and thence through conduit 5| to the exhaust conduits 53. The remaining portion of the hot gases flows through conduit 55 to said exhaust conduits. The proportion of the gases owing through tubes 42 may be regulated by adjusting the damper 56. By conducting the exhaust gases through conduit 50, tubes 42 and conduit 5l, the exhaust gases are retained in the heat-exchange hollow core 38 for a length of time great enough to allow the gases to give up a substantial amount 'of heat to the water in boiler 23. Due to the relativelyhigh temperature of the exhaust gases, the amount of heattransmitted to the water is great enough to elevate the temperature of the water Ato a suiciently high value to generate steam at a substantial pressure. This steam is available at the outlet conduit 34. The supply of water in boiler 23 is constantly replenished from supply pipe I6 through pipe30 and float valve 32. l While a specic embodiment of a boiler utilizing the exhaust heat of internal combustion engines has been disclosed, it will be understood that various modications within the spirit of the invention mayoccur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, it is intended that .no limitations be placed on the invention except as defined by the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
l 1.-A boiler comprising a horizontally disposed closed ended hollow cylindrical body, a hollow closedended cylindrical core disposed longitudinally of and within said 'body and spaced from said body, a vertically disposed closed shell arranged exteriorly of each of the closed ends of eol longitudinally through said core adjacent the top thereof and having one end in communication with the other of said vertically disposed shells,.
4 cation with said second conduit for discharging hot gases, a vertically disposed intake pipe positioned within said body adjacent one end thereof and having the lower end spaced from the bottom of said body for introducing water into said body, a third conduit extending vertically from the top of said body intermediate its ends for discharging the steam therefrom, and a bypass conduit positioned exteriorly of said body and having one end connected to one of said outlet conduits and having the other end in communication with the top of said one of the vertically disposed shells.
