CHARLES M. MILES, OF VINELAND, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR. TO HIMSELF PATENT OFFICE.
AND OHARLESF. JONES, OF SAME PLAGE.
IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM-BOILERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 113,624, dated July 19, 1864.
To all whom, it Mayta/zown,.-
Be it known that l, CHARLES M. MILES, of Vineland, in the county' of Cumberland and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Steam-Boilers; and I do hereby declare that the followingisafull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specitication, in Which- Figure l is a central vertical longitudinal section of a boiler constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same in the plane indicated by the line x a: in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section ofthe same in the planes indicated by the line y y in Fig. l.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre.- sponding parts in the several figures.
This invention consists in a novel arrangement ot' Water tubes, smoke or gas tubes, and smoke-box, in combination with thetire-box of ahorizontal boiler, whereby I obtain a large heatingsnrface and utilize'in a very high degrec the heat ot' the escaping gaseous products ot' combustion before permitting them to escape to the chimney.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A B is the shell of the boiler, constructed of a form substantially like that oi' a locomotiveboiler.
O is the tire-box, having water-spacca ab e at its sides, i'ront, and back, as in a locomotive-boiler.
D D are water tubes running through the lower part ot' the iirebox at a short distance above the grate E, and connecting` the Waterspace b in iront of the lire-box with that c in rear of it.
F F are vvatertubes running through the upper part ot` the tire box, and conncctingthe Irontwater space, b, With the main Water-space the main Water-space in the shell B to a smokeboX, H, arranged Within the Iear portion of the shell B. This smoke-box instead of being entirely in rear of the Water-space, as in an ordinary locomotive-boiler, has a Waterspace, d, in rear of it, and a Water-space, e, above it. l I I are return smoke or gas tubes running from the upper part of the front of the smokebox H horizontally through the main Waterspaee, through the larger water-tubes F F, in the upper part of the tire-box, and through the front plate, f, of the boiler, and communieating with the interior of a breeching, J, which is secured to the front of the boiler. This breeching may have the chimney on the top of it, but is represented in Fig. 1 as communicating with a flue, K, which covers the upper part of the shell, and communicates with a chimney, L, over the rear'part of the shell. The boiler is lilled with water to some distance above the lire-box and smoke-box, and the upper part ot' the shell A B is left for steam-space. When lire is made in the tirebox, the smoke and heated gaseous products ot' combustion all pass from the tire-box through the tubes Gr G to the smoke-box H, whence they return through the tubes I l to the breeching J, and thence either directly or through the flue K to the chimney, as indicated by arrows in Fig. l. The whole of the tire-box, the tubes D, F, G, and I, and thesmokebox H all present heating-surfaces, which, combined, have a very extensive area. The Water-tubes D and F are exposed not only tothe flame. and heated gaseous products ot' combustion, but to in a great measure the direct radiation from the fire on the grate, and hence a very rapid generation of steam takes place within them. The gaseous products of combustion on their arrival at the breeching have so much of their heat extracted that they are of little further use, unless it be to keep hot the steam-space in the upper part of the shell, and hence the boiler must be very cconomical of fuel.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, in a horizontal boiler, ot the fire-box (l, gas and smoke tubes Gr G, smoke-box H, return--tubes I, and watertubes D and F, the Whole arranged substantially as herein specified.
