Definitions

  • a water storage tank is supported in a boiler housing by support elements, such as support rings and/or straps spaced about the periphery of the tank, whose ends extend into apertures in corrugations in the end walls of the housing which are adjacent to respective end walls of the tank.
  • the support element ends are welded into the apertures.
  • the present invention relates to arrangements for supporting water-storage tanks in boilers or tank housings. More specifically, the invention concerns the construction and arrangement of those walls of a boiler or a tank housing which are employed to support the tank at its bottom.
  • Water-storage tanks of the type under discussion are mounted inside of boilers above the combustion chamber or in separate housings associated to the boiler and are employed for the production and storage of warm or hot water for industrial or domestic use.
  • such water tanks have been connected in some way or other to the adjacent walls of the boiler or housing as by flanges, straps or similar connecting means; or they have been provided with an enveloping, close-fitting supporting structure, particularly when the tanks consist of corrosion'resisting but relatively thinwalled material, the supporting structure then being secured to the adjacent walls of the boiler or housing in any suitable manner.
  • the space which a water-storage tank occupies when it is mounted in a boiler is about one-third the volume of the boiler or, when the tank is installed in a separate housing, about the entire volume of the latter.
  • this invention has as its main object to provide a simple yet efficient supporting arrangement for a water-storage tank, which permits the tank to be easily fitted into a boiler or housing and accurately located therein with a view toward securing it in place as by welding and which at the same time provides for a sufficient stiffening of the boiler or housing walls concerned.
  • an arrangement for supporting water-storage tanks in boilers or tank housings is characterized in that the boiler or housing end walls adjacent to the bottoms or end walls of the tank are provided with perforated corrugations to which elements for supporting the tank are connected in the spaced apertures of the corrugations in the boiler or housing walls.
  • the tank supporting elements are interconnected by longitudinal bar or strap members disposed in spaced relationship on and about the overall periphery of the supporting elements, the straps or bars being Patented Nov. 26, 1968 rigidly secured to the tank supporting elements.
  • corrugations Another advantage of the corrugations consists in that they considerably facilitate the assembly of the boiler as well as the installation of the water-storage tank, since the tank with its supporting elements or enveloping supporting structure can be easily and accurately positioned in the interior space of the boiler because of the locating effect of the corrugations in the opposite walls of the boiler. In contrast, considerable difficulties have normally heretofore been encountered in the positioning of a tank inside of a boiler, because the tank must be mounted between walls in which no apertures are provided.
  • the arrangement of the invention thus makes it possible to assemble the tank and its supporting structure completely outside of the boiler, after which the tank with its enveloping supporting structure is then installed in the boiler.
  • a similar advantage is attained, if supporting elements such as rings are employed instead of an enveloping supporting structure.
  • the supporting rings can be easily fitted in place, they being used not only to support the tank but also to aid in the stiffening of the boiler walls.
  • the attachment of the supporting elements as by welding can be effected without difiiculties, since according to the invention the stiffening corrugations are perforated.
  • the supporting elements can be secured in place from the outside of the boiler as by welding them to the corrugations in the area of the perforations thereby making the latter watertight.
  • the perforations can be formed in any suitable manner as by punching, during the process in which the corrugations are pressed into the boiler-wall material.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic front view of a housing in which two water-storage tanks are disposed one above the other, and
  • FIGURE 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a boiler with water tank mounted.
  • FIG. 1 there are shown at 1, circular corrugations in the front wall 2 of a housing accommodating two water-storage tanks.
  • the rear wall of the housing which is not depicted in the drawing, is also provided with corrugations similar to those in front wall 2.
  • Each of the corrugations has a plurality of holes 3 sealed off with short welds by which tan-k supporting elements such as rings (not specifically shown in FIG. 1) are rigidly secured to the front and rear walls of the housing.
  • FIG. 2 shows a similar supporting arrangement in which a water tank 4 is mounted in the upper section of a boiler.
  • the tank is held in place by means of supporting rings 5 which are interconnected by longitudinal strap or bar members 6 extending in spaced relationship along the tank at its periphery.
  • FIG. 2 shows how the supporting rings engage into the grooves formed by the corrugations 1.
  • the corrugations are used not only to support the tank but also to stifien the boiler walls 7 and 8.
  • the corrugations be bent outwards, although this may be the most advantageous shape.
  • they could also be bent inwards and be of a diameter larger or smaller than that of the respective tank supporting elements, in which case the supporting rings would supportingly overlap the corrugations at their lower or upper sides.
  • the holes in the corrugations would then be located in the respective side portions of the corrugations.
  • corrugations be circular as described above.
  • strip-like corrugation sections could also be employed whose shape would be controlled by the contours of the respective cross-section of the tank. If it is desired to do without supporting rings, the longitudinal supporting bars 6 would then directly engage into the grooves formed by the strip-like corrugation sections. In such a case the bars would be held in place relative to each other by means of one or several transverse strips or bands, thus simplifying the assembly.
  • a support arrangement for a water storage tank in a housing wherein the housing has two end walls and the tank has two end walls respectively adjacent the end walls of the housing, comprising a corrugation in each housing end wall, the corrugations extending substantially in registry with the periphery of the tank and each corrugation defining apertures spaced from each other, support elements for the tank and in supporting engagement therewith, one end of the support elements extending into the apertures of the corrugations in each housing end Wall, and means for rigidly serving the support element ends in said apertures and for sealing the apertures.
  • support elements further include straps spaced about the periphery of the tank and interconnecting the support rings.
