  • the other'conduit 23 merely opens at the top of the vessel 5 and is connected to a conduit 27 which leads to the domestic hot-water system. In this manner, fresh cold water is drawn into the base of the vessel 5 as hot water is drawn out the top, with this water being heated as it rises.
  • the heating chamber 1 has an interior 28 whose upper region 29 is evacuated and whose lower region 30 extending as a web across the boiler and region 31 extending downwardly from this web 30 are filled with water.
  • the water level 32 is maintained with the aid of a gauge and a water line 47, so that if the level drops below the level 32 water can be admitted and if it goes above the level 32 water can be drawn off through the pipe 47.
  • An expansion chamber 38 is provided which is connected to the path 12.
  • This flue also has a vertical portion 36 entirely outside of the outer compartment and extending up within the boiler housing 37 which is internally lined with thermal insulation 49.
  • a plurality of horizontal portions 44' can also be provided as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the entire heating chamber 1 rests on a circular base 39.
  • a burner ring 40 is provided in the combustion chamber 35 above the lower end of the region 31.
  • This burner is provided with a plurality of peripheral fuel (gas or oil) nozzles 41 each directed at an angle a of 45 to a respective imaginary tangent of the circular burner ring 40.
  • the flames 42 formed by these outlets thus make a spiralling vortex.
  • the cup-shaped lower region of the chamber 1 has a height above the burner corresponding substantially to the burner radius, so that an excellent heat pickup is possible by the water in this chamber.
  • ribs 43 are provided on the base of the web 30 and inclined to the direction 50 of gas flow in the chamber 35.
  • longitudinally extending ribs 44 are provided in the lower flue portion 33 so that the maximum amount of heat is picked up from the flue gases and passed to the water in the heating chamber.
  • the heating chamber Since the heating chamber is closed, the water in it can be heated up very close to and even somewhat beyond the boiling point if desired.
  • a thermostat set at, say 85 C. in the inner vessel S would control the burner 40, while the pump 15 would be controlled by a room wall thermostat.
  • the water in the heating chamber vaporized and rises, then it condenses, giving up its heat to the water in the vessel and in the path 12.
