r The coils 59 and 65 are arranged in a boiler 90which is heated by a downwardly projecting flame jet issuing from a burner 91 arranged in the boiler adjacent the top thereof,

andvalves

93 and 94 are connected with the

pipe lines

58 and 66 for cleaning the coils 59 and 65. 'A pipe line 95 branches from the pipe line 66 and has branches arranged in "the boiler '90 for cleaning soot from the coils. A valve 96 normally maintains the pipe line 95 in closed relation. A strainer 97 is arranged in the pipe line for filtering the water entering the system. A compound basket 98 is arranged in the tank 17 for containing-chemicals to form the chemical solution -in the tank.

The four-way

manual control valves

39 and 62 and the manual control switch 52 are connected with a handle 99 for simultaneous movement to different positions to provide for different operating conditions in the system. Whenthe handle member is moved to position the control valves 39 and 62 'in a first position shown in Figs. 1 and 4"of the drawings, the manual control switch 52 is arranged in the position shown in Fig. 2 of'the drawings. The change-over cock 74 is then manually set to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 4 of the drawings and when so arranged, the system will provide for a 'flow of 540 gallons of water per hour from the

pumps

54 and 55 which will be heated in the coils 59 and 6S and will then pass through the pipe line 66 and the pipe line 69 and be discharged from the steam gun or nozzle 30 in the form of steam or hot water approximately the temperature of steam. At the same time, the

pumps

32 and 33 will provide 600 gallons of water per hounwhich will pass through the pipe line 40 and be discharged through the water nozzle or gun 31 at the temperature of the Water entering the system.

Another setting of the handle 99 will position the

control valves

39 and 62 in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 4 of the drawings and the manual control switch 52 will be positioned as shown in Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawings. For this position the change-over cock 74 will be moved to the positionshowninFig. 7 of thedrawings in which the said valve diverts the waterfrom the

pumps

54 and 55 heated by the; coils. 59 and to the pipe line 40 to provide a flow such as 600. gallons of water per hour at a temperature such as approximately 180 Fahrenheit issuing from the water gun or nozzle 31. In this positionthe pumps 32 and 33 are not in operation.

Thepumps 32 and 33 are driven by an electric motor in a 220 volt three phase power. line .111. The

pumps

54 and 55 are driven by a threetphase motor 112 which is connected with the power line 111 by a three phase branch powerline 113. Arranged in the power line 111 is a three pole solenoid starter switch 114 and arranged in the powerline 113 is a three .pole solenoid starter switch 115. Branching from the power line 111 is e220 volt primary circuit 116 which is connected with .the primary of a 220 volt single phase step-:downtransformer 117 having 110 volts acrosslthe secondary circuit .118 thereof. A double pole. manual switch 119 has one pole .120. thereof arranged toclose theprirnary circuit 116 while the opposite pole 121 of said switchis arranged to close thesecondarycircuit 118 to start the motor 110 by the closing of thestarterswitch .114 .with the closing of the secondary circuit. A double pole manual switch 123 has one pole 124 thereofarranged to close the primary circuit 116, while the opposite pole 125 of said switch is arranged .to close the. secondary circuit 118 to starhthemotor 112- by .the closing of the starter ture point .134- a conductor wire leads to the two terminals on one side of a norrnally'open control relay 137 and from one of the terminals on t-h e opposite side thereof a conductor wire=138 leadsto the' pole' 121 of the double pole manual switch 119' andfrom said pole a conductor wire 139 leads to the other side of the solenoid of the starter switch 114. Thesolenoid of the starter switch 115 is also said secondary circuit 118 lay s.

by 'a conductor wire 142 leading from one side of said solenoid to the normally closed pole 128 of the time delay relay 129 and from said time delay relay bythe conductor wire 130 leading to the juncture point 131 and from said juncture point by the conductor wire 132 to the juncture point 133 and thence through said secondary and by said conductor wire 135 to the two terminals on one side of said normally open control relay 137 and by a conductor wire 143 from one of the terminals on the other side to the pole 125 of the manual switch 123 and from said pole 125 by a conductor wire 144- ieading to the other side of the solenoid of the starter switch 115.

The solenoid of the control relay 137 is connected in the secondary circuit by a conductorwire 146 leading from one side of said solenoid to the juncture point 133 through the switch element 147 of the pressure responsive switch 44 and by a conductor wire 148 leading from the other side of said solenoid to the juncture point 149 through the switch elements 150 and 151 of the pressure

responsive switches

72 and 73. Provision is made for bypassing the switch element 151 of the pressure re-. ,sponsive switch 73 by the

conductor wires

153 and 154 leading from the opposite sides of said switch element to opposite terminals of a single throw double acting re- The solenoid of said relay 155 is connected on one side by a conductor wire 156 with a terminal 157 of 'the manual control switch 52, the opposite side of said :solenoid being connected by a conductor wire 158 to the juncture point 159 and by a conductor wire 160 to the conductor wire 146. The conductor wire 161 leads from the conductor wire 148 to the switch terminal 162 of said manual control switch 52. The single throw relay 155 is normally open to retain the switch element 151 of the pressure responsive switch 73 in circuit and the said relay is normally close to by-pass a thermostatic control switch 164 through the conductor wires 165.

and 166, the thermostat of which extends into the pipe line 69 and which may be set for maintaining the water flowing therethrough at any desired temperature such as 180 Fahrenheit. The solenoid of the solenoid valve 51 is connected on one side by a conductor wire 168 with the terminal 169 of the manual control switch 52 and on the other side the solenoid is connected by a conductor wire 170 with the conductor wire 160. The solenoid of the solenoid valve 89 is connected on one side by a conductor wire 171 with a terminal 172 of said manual control switch 52 and on the opposite side the solenoid is connected by a conductor wire 173 with the conductor wire 146. p It follows therefore that when either of the

switches

119 and 123 are closed the secondary circuit 118 will be energized and both poles of the control relay 137 will be closed to complete the circuits with the solenoids of the starter switches 114 and 115 to thereby close said switches and start the

motors

110 and 112 respectively.

In the event that the pressure in the pipe line exceeds the setting on the pressure responsive switch 44 such as 340 pounds per square inch, the switch element 147 thereof will be opened to break the circuit with the solenoid of the control relay 137 to thereby stop the motors. Similarly, if the pressure in the pipe line 69 exceeds the setting on the pressure responsive switch 72, such as 300 pounds per square inch, the switch element 150 thereof will be opened to break the circuit with the solenoid of the control relay 137 tobreak the circuit with the solenoids of the starter switches 114 and 115 to thereby stop the motors. When the pressure responsive switch 72 is in operation, the pressure responsive switch 73 is by-passed by the setting of the manual control switch 52 to place the switch element thereof on the terminal 157 whereby the circuit will be established through the conductor wires 15.3 and 154 to bypass the switch element 151 of said pressure responsive switch 73. When the pressure in the pipe line 69 is to be regulated by the pressure responsive switch 73, the rela'y155 is opened for establishing the circuit through the switch element 151 of said pressure responsive switch 73, and in the event that the pressure in said pipe line exceeds the setting on said pressure responsive switch such as pounds per square inch, the switch element 151 thereof will be opened to break the circuit with the solenoid of the control relay 137 to thereby discontinue operation of the motors.

. The double acting time delay relay 129 is in series with a normally closed single pole relay 175 by a conductor wire 1'76 leading from a connection with the conductor wire to one of the terminals of said relay and by a conductorwire 177 leading from the other terminal thereof to one of the terminals of the delay. relay 129. The other terminal of said delay relay 129 is connected by a conductor wire 178 leading'to the juncture point 149. The solenoidof the relay is in a secondary circuit of a step-down transformer 179 having 110 volts across the primary thereof and 24 volts across the secondary. The primary of the said transformer is connected in the secondary circuit of the transformer 117 and the secondary thereof is connected in series with the solenoid of the relay 175 by a conductor wire 180 and in series with two low

water control electrodes

181 and 182 by conductor wires 183 and 184. The

electrodes

181 and 182 are normally immersed in the tanks 13 and diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings and which are connected by means of the piping 21 shown in Fig. l of the drawings and diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings whereby in the event that the water from the supply main 10 should be interrupted or discontinued so that the water in the tanks falls below the said electrodes, the normally closed pole 128 will'be opened to break the circuit with the starter switches 114 and 115 to thereby discontinue operation of the

motors

110 and 112. The normally open pole 186 of the delay relay 129 will automatically close when the normally closed pole 128 thereof is opened as aforesaid. When water again enters the

tanks

13 and 14 to immerse the electrodes, the circuit controlling the starting switches 114 and 115 remains open until the

switches

119 and 123 are opened and then moves to closed relation. Whenthe said switches are opened so as to break the circuit the relay 129 will automatically function to open the pole 186 and to close the pole 128. Closing of the

switches

119 and 123 will then effect a closing of the starting

switches

114 and 115 to place the pumps 1n operation.

Connected in parallel with the terminals of the solenoid of the starter switch 115'is a burner control circuit having a manual switch 188 for opening andclosing the circuit with the burner and which is in series with one side of the solenoid coil of said starter switch by a conductor wire 189. A normally open pressure switch 190, a thermostatic control switch 191 and the thermostatic control switch 164 are in series'and are connected with the other pole of said solenoid by a conductor wire 192. Also arranged in series in said circuit is a protectostat switch 193 and a fuel solenoid valve 194, the protectostat switch being normally open and closing upon the required heat in the boiler 90 in four seconds time. The

fuel solenoid valve 194 controls the flow of fuel to the burner 91 for heating the boiler 90. Shunted across the

conductor wires

192 and 189 is a single pole ten second time delay relay 195 and a single pole four second time delay relay 196, the poles of which are connected by conductor wires 197 and 198 with the solenoid of the fuel solenoid valve 194. v j

. The protectostat switch 193 extends into the boiler 90, as shown in Fig. l, and is subjected to the heat therein. The fuel solenoid valve 194 is arranged in the fuel line 199 leading to the burner 91 as illustrated in Fig. l of the drawings. The protectostat switch 193 functions to break the circuit with the solenoid of the solenoid valve 194 in the event of improper combustion in the boiler 90 7 which may be due to ignition failure or improper flow of fuel through the fuel line 199.

The time delay relay 195 isnormallyclosed so as to establish the circuit-to the solenoid valve 194 thereby permitting the flow of fuel to the burner. If the flame is of the proper temperature, the protectostat switch 193 will close to complete the circuit in parallel with the time delay relay 195. The time delay relay 195 then opens so that the circuit with the solenoid valve 194 is dependent upon the action of the protectostat switch 193.

The four second time delay relay 196 is for the purpose of providing a delay of four seconds in the closing of the circuit with the solenoid valve 194 so that the combustion chamber of the boiler 90 can be supplied with air from the blower admitted adjacent the burner'before the solenoidvalve 194 is opened to admit fuel to the burner.

When the switch 188 in the burner control circuit is moved to closed relation, the fuel solenoid valve 194 is in circuit through-the time delay relay 195 and when four seconds have elapsed the timedelay relay 196 will be moved to close the circuit with the solenoid valve thereby opening the fuel line 199 for the flow of fuel to the burner. When the flame has reached the proper intensity the protectostat switch 193 will'be moved to closed relation to maintain the circuit with the solenoid valve since the time delay relay 195 has moved to open relation.

Branching from theprimary circuit 116 is a primary ignition circuit 201 of a step-up transformer-202, the secondary circuit 203 of which is connected with the ignition electrodes 204 which are located adjacent tothe burner 91 for igniting the fuel issuing therefrom. The primary ignition circuit has apotential of 212 volts, while the potential across the electrodes is 10,000 volts.

While Fig. l of the drawings discloses two

pumps

32 and 33 arranged in series for pumping water through on'e of the systems and two pumps 54 and 55are shown in Fig. l coupled in series for pumping water through the othersystem, it is to be understood that a single pump may be used in each system to provide therequired flow of water and without departing from the spirit of the invention a single pump may be utilized for-supplying water for both systems. In this instance, the pump would be connected with the motor 112 and the-motor-110 together with the solenoid starter switch 114' and the manual switch 119 would-be eliminated.

The pressure switch 190 is connected in the pipe line between the coils 59 and 65 as shown in Fig. l of the drawings. The said-switch is normally open and is set to close atapproximately 50 pounds pressure of the water in thepipe line to close the circuit from one ofthe poles of the solenoid of the starter switch 115 to the thermostatic control switch 191. In other words, the circuit between the solenoid of the starter switch 115 to the thermostatic control-switch 191 remains open after the pressureof the water in the coils is below 50 pounds, so that the solenoid valve 194 remains closed against the flow of fuel oil to the burner when the water in the pipe line is below SOpoundspressure.
