Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water-tube boiler.
  • the invention relates to a type of such boilers which comprise tubes extending from a lower distributor to an upper collector, and being exposed to a radiant heat over a portion of their length.
  • Other tubes, bent U-shaped and projecting into the current of the combustion gases, extend from and open again into the rst mentioned tubes and are shielded against radiation from the furnace by still other tubular members.
  • the invention aims to simplify the structure of the mentioned type of boilers and to reduce the space required by heating surfaces whereby, for the same steam output, a substantial saving of material and labor is achieved in comparison to the conventional boilers.
  • lt is another object of the invention to provide a structure whereby through the connection of a larger number of parallel U-shaped, serpentine tubes, a higher cooling effect is obtained.
  • the serpentine tubes will be cooled the more efficiently the greater the amount of steam created in the tube portions which precede the serpentine tubes, inasmuch as thereby the speed of the steam-water mixture will be acceleratcd and the distribution of the mixture among the U-shaped serpentine tubes, which are connected in parailel, will be improved.
  • special distributors and collectors become unnecessary for the evaporating heating surfaces connected in succession to the furnace, and the U-shaped serpentine tubes can be arranged horizontally whereby much space is saved in the gas llue.
  • the increased steam production in the heating tubes which precede the serpentine tubes causes a high buoyancy eiect which insures a cooling lof the serpentine tubes under all conditions of operation.
  • FIG. l shows a boiler of the invention in front elevational section on the line l-l in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 2 is a side-elevational sectional view of the boiler of FIG. l taken on the line IL-II;
  • FlG. 3 shows a detail of the boiler in a sectional plan View taken on line Ill-III in FIG l.
  • the drawing shows a boiler of the invention having a flue located above the furnace and passed by the combustion gases in a horizontal direction.
  • the water-tube boiler illustrated includes an insulating brickwork shell conventionally shown at 51 in FIG. 2, and has a carrying framework which is formed by vertical downcomers 31, return pipes 31', longitudinal distributors 32, transverse distributors 32 and 32, longitudinal collectors 33, transverse collector 33 and a drum 34.
  • the front wall and ceiling tubes 35 and the rear wall tubes 3d of the furnace extend from the transverse distributors 32 and 32, respectively.
  • the furnace is furthermore bounded by groups of juxtaposed vertical side wall tubes 33 and 39 which, over a shorter distance of the length of the furnace, extend straight upwards from the longitudinal distributors 32 to the collectors thereabove.
  • U-shaped serpentine tubes are arranged in the flue 55 constituting a heating surface 49 in connection with the tube portions 38" and another heating surface 40' in connection with the tube portions 39 so that the sets of tubes of the heating surface 40 alternate and interengage with the sets of tubes of the surface 40'.
  • the total length of tubes exposed to radiation is increased and thus the evaporation in these tubes is intensified wherefrom a higher speed of ow results in these tubes and consequently a higher cooling effect.
  • the increase of the length of tubes heated by radiation increases the pumping effect in these tubes.
  • a throttling disc 113 having an opening 114 is inserted in the tube portions 38" and 39 between the entrances and exits of the serpentine tubes 40 and 40 to divert the flow of fluid from the tube portions to the serpentine tubes.
