WILLIAM ANTON EY XVHITE, OF STAATSBURG, NEW YORK.

HOT-WATER-PIPE ARRANGEMENT FOR HEATING PURPOSES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No- 358,636, dated March 1, 1887.

Application filed Apri 16, 1886.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM ANTONEY WHITE, of Staatsburg, in the county ofDutchess and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hot-WVatenPipe Arrangements for Heating Purposes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention, while applicable to various heating purposes by the flow or circulation of hot water through pipes, is more particularly designed for heating hot-houses, green-houses, and for other like structures or purposes. Ordinarily, where pipes arranged to run in eourses,the one above the other,and connected at the terminal of the combined courses with a furnace or boiler for passing hot water there from and returning it thereto, are used to establish a circulation of the hot water through the several courses of a tier of pipes, itis cus tomary to make the flow from the boiler along the upper course of the coil or tier of pipes and to return it to the boiler along the lower course of the coil or tier. This produces very unequal heating, retards the circulation by reason of the tendency which hot water has to rise and not to descend, and is wasteful of fuel.

My invention consists in certain novel eonstructions and combinations of parts whereby U these objections are removed and special advantages secured, substantially as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 represents an elevation, partly in vertical section, on line y y, Fig. 2, of a hotwater boiler or furnace with a series of hotwater-circulating coils and other parts or devices in illustration of my invention, the coil of pipes nearest to the eye being omitted; and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of the same upon the line as w in Fig. l.

A is a many-sided water-heating furnace fitted internally with separate water heating coils B B B B on its several or any number of its sides; but no claim is here made to the special construction of the furnace, the same being the subject of a separate application Serial No. 199,082. (No model.)

(Serial No. 193,873, filed March 3, 1886) for patent by me, and it might be otherwise constructed.

O G C C indicate separate hot-water-circulating pipes or coils, ot'similar construction, and each separately connected with the boiler or separate water-heating coils B B B 13* therein, so as to secure an independent action or use for each of the water-circulating coils C C O" 0*, that run in diiferent directions relatively to each other, for the purpose of producing a more extended distribution of the heat. Each coil 0 O G" 0 consists of any number of straight lengths of pipe arranged one above the other and communicating alternately in reverse directions at their opposite ends to form acontinuous serpentine pipe. The flow from the coil of pipes B 13 B B", located in the furnace, is taken from above and connected along the lower length, 0, of the circulatingcoils C C O O, and the hot water travels in an upward direction along the upper length or lengths of pipe and passing along the uppermost length, 0, is finally returned to the. lower end of the coils B B B 13* by a leg or downward bend, 0 Thus the circulation through the coils O O C O is always a rising one, which, being in accordance with the natural course of heated liquids, secures a perfeet and rapid circulation and gives a bottom heat in the coil,that is lacking when the return flow is through the lower length of pipe in said coil.

The feed of water for circulating purposes is made to each coil 0 C C O and coil or separate watereompartment B B B B' of the boiler by a separate pipe, (Z, from a tank, D, or other source, and each coil 0 G G 0* is separately fitted at its highest point with a rising pipe, 6, for the escape of air from the coil and,its connections,or for the overflow of any water from an excess of supply in the coil.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a furnace and a series of independent water heating coils therein, of separate hot-Water-circulating coils arranged above said heating-coils and proj ecting in different directions'and having their lower lengths connected with the upper pordirections and having their lower lengths, 0,
