FEED-WATER HEATER AND PURIFIER.

SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No. 345,578, dated July 13,1886.

Application filed March 13, 1886. Serial No. 195,123. (No model.)

.To all whom, it may concern.-

Beit known that we, TIIoMAs Davis and WILLIAM NV. TYLER, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Feed-Water Heaters and Puriers; and we do hereby declare,the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to improvements in combined feed-water heaters and purifiers; and it consists in certain features of construction, and in combination of parts hereinafter described, and pointed ont in the claims.

III the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevationin section of a device embodying ourinvention. Fig. 2is a horizontal'section on the line of x m, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an elevation showing in detail a section of the depending perforated pipes.

A represents a container, that is preferably cylindrical and upright, and having a concaved bottom, A', supported on legs a, and a crowning `detachable cover, A2.

Internal ilanges A3 support the respective disks B, O, D, E, and F, that partition the container off into the several compartments.

The pipe c', provided with suitable valve for blowing off sediment from the deposit-chamber, is connected with the head A', and the induction feed-water pipe c is connected with the head A2.

Gr is a hollow ball, connected in the pipe o2 near the container A, and has suspended inside a second hollow globe, H, that is connected with a steam-pipe, H'. A small nozzle, h, discharges from the ball Hinto the pipe a2 in the direction shown by the arrow. The feedf water,in passing through the globeG and sur O, and extends to near the bottom of the cham-1 ber C'. The overflow of the chamber O' is through the pipe d, that extends through the discharging-chamber D', and through the ltering-chamber, and to near the bottom of the deposit-chamber.

Pipes I, for the passage of live steam, lead, respectively, into the top of theehambers B' and O'. These chambers are each provided with aseries of perforated plates, J, that rest in grooves inthe respective bottoms Gand D, and extend to near the top of the respective chambers. Depending perforated pipes i lead from the pipes I down between the plates J, with the perforations arranged to discharge lengthwise of the plates J.

It will be observed that the inlet and outlet pipes of the respective chambers Bl and C are located on opposite sides of the respective chambers, so that the. water in passing from the inlet-pipe to the outlet-pipe must pass through the series of perforated plates, and in the narrow spaces between these plates encounter jets of live steam from the pipes z. Theresult is that the feed-wateI-,when it leaves the chamber C', is usually at the boiling-point, so that when the water passes through the piped into the deposit-chamber the most of the impurities in the water, especially those of a mineral character, are precipitated, and such of a vegetable nature as are not precipitated are arrested as the water passes up through the filtering-chamber. The plates E and F are both perforated, and this latter chamber may be iltered with any of the well-known materials suitable for this purpose.

The heated and puriiied water is discharged into the chamber D', from whence it passes through the pipe K to the boiler.

What We claim is- 1. In a feed-water heater and purifier, the combination, with an induction feed-water pipe, and a spherical container connected in the said pipe, of a second spherical container 1ocated inside the first, the second container having attached a pipe for supplying live steam, and having a discharging-outlet presenting in the same direction as the water iiows through the said induction-pipe, the parts being arranged substantially as set forth.

2. In a feed-water heater and purifier, the

ICC

inlet and outlet, of perforated steam-pipes arranged between the said partitionplates, the

parts being arranged substantially as set forth. I 5

[n testimony whereof we sign this specifica tion, in the presence of two witnesses, this 25th day of January, 1886.
