  • the known vertical combustion chambers have been constructed with four vertical walls to define a rectangular cross-sectional shape and a funnelshaped bottom.
  • the bottom has had two oppositely disposed rectangular surfaces inclined at an angle from a horizontal plane and two oppositely disposed vertically oriented isosceles triangular surfaces.
  • the combustion chamber walls have been formed of tubes inclined at the same angle from the horizontal and tightly welded-together either directly or through the intermediary of bridges. These tubes have been extended into the surfaces of the funnel-shaped bottom and have been likewise tightly welded together therein.
  • the invention provides a tubing for a combustion chamber as above which has a plurality of tubes inclined at an angle within four surfaces for forming the four walls of the combustion chamber. in addition, the tubes extend on an angle into four other surfaces for forming the rectangular and triangular surfaces of the funnel-shaped bottom of the combustion chamber.
  • the tubes which extend into each triangular surface all run parallelto one of the two equal sceles wall of the triangular surface and at an angle (0:) equal to the slope angle of the rectangular surfaces.
  • the tubes which extend into each rectangular surface, both from the wall surfaces of the combustion chamber and froman'adjacent triangular surface, are each parallel, at least initially, and all are disposed at an angle ('y) to the border between the combustion chamber walls and the rectangular surfaces.
  • This latter angle (7) is equal to the arc cotangent of twice the cosine of the slope angle (a) of the rectangular surfaces to the horizontal. This is expressed by:
  • all of the tubes within each rectangular surface of the bottom are each bent to extend toward a lower edge of the rectangular surface so that all these tubes extend to the lower, edge in a uniformly distributed'manner and in parallel to the triangular surfaces.
  • the relationship of the angle (7) of the tubes in the rectangular surfaces and of the angle (a) of the tubes in the triangular surfaces of the funnel-shaped bottom ensures acontinuous transition of the tubes from the triangular surfaces into the adjacent rectangular surfaces by means of simple right-angled bends. Further, the alteration of the directional path of the tubes in the rectangular surfaces need only require a single change of direction.
  • the slope angle a of the rectangular surfaces satisfies the relationship S m: 1/(a/b+' 1 wherein a designates the width of the combustion chamber wall situated above the triangular surface,and
  • the drawing illustrates'a development of tubing according to the invention for a combustion chamber having a rectangular cross-section.
  • the tubing for a combustion chamber for example, intended primarily for heating by oil-firing, has four surfaces for forming a front wall 1, side walls 2 and 4, and rear wall 3 of a combustion chamber. These surfaces are formed of a plurality of surfaces forming the front and rear walls 1, 3 are conwalls 2, 4, respectively adjoin isosceles triangular surfaces 12, 14 respectivley at their bottom ends.
  • the tubes 6 in the triangular surface 12 run parallel to one side 15, that is, at an angle a relative to the horizontal line 5 while at the opposite side 16, the tubes run over a bend into the adjacent rectangular surface ll, 13 respectively.
  • the tubes continue to run in the rectangular surface at an angle 7 relative to the horizontal line 5 to the side 20 of the rectangular surface 11.
  • the tubes running from the front wall 1 into the rectangular surface 11 initially run into the rectangular surface at the angle 7 and are thereafter ctg 'y 2 cosa from which, as
  • the entry angle 'y 7 of the tubes into the rectangular surfaces ll, 13 is determined by the slope-angle a of the funnel.
  • the slope-angle B of the tubes is given by the number of tubes existing on the combustion-chamber perimeter, on the desired distribution of the tubes, and on the combustion-chamber perimeter. It may be advantageous to make the slope-angle a 'of the funnel slant equal to the slope-angle B of the tubes in the combustion-chamber walls, so that the tubes may run straight out of the side walls 2 and 3 into the triangular surfaces l2, 14.
  • the angle y, of the tubes running into the rectangular surfaces ll, 13 will differ from the angle B. At the boundary between the front wall I and the rectangular surface 11, the tube spacing becomes changed and, thus, the width of the bridge between the tubes. This produces a difference in the mean temperature of the adjoining surfaces.
  • the tube spacing in the triangular surface 12 and in the abutting rectangular surface 13 in the half below the diagonal 21' are made equal to one another. That is, the slope-angle a of the rectangular surface, in accordance with the relationship sina l/(a/b is made dependent on the front-to-side ratio a/b of the combustion chamber.
  • the tubes of both rectangular surfaces below the edge where the rectangular surfaces 11 and 13 abut are connected either to a common distributor, or else to individual distributors for the tubes of each rectangular surface.
  • Tubing for a vertical combustion chamber comprising four gas tight walls defining a rectangular crosssectional shape and having a plurality of interconnected tubes inclined at a first angle (B) from a horizontal plane within four surfaces defining a rectangular cross-sectional shape for forming four walls of the combustion chamber, said tubes extending from said four surfaces into four other surfaces for forming a funnelshaped bottom including two oppositely disposed gas tight rectangular surfaces inclined at a second angle (a) from a horizontal plane and two oppositely disposed gas tight verticaly oriented isosceles triangular surfaces, said tubes in each said triangular surface being disposed in parallel to one of the two equal sceles of said respective triangular surface and extending to an adjacent rectangular surface,
  • said tubes in each rectangular surface extending in parallel from an adjacent wall of the combustion chamber and from an adjacent triangular surface initially at a third angle (7) to the edge formed by the rectangular surface and the adjacent wall, said third angle (7) being expressed as:
