FEED-WATER APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 491,825, dated February 14, 1893.

Application filed November 3, 1892- $erial No. 450,825- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM V. WALKER, of Moravia, in the county of Cayuga, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Feed-Water Apparatus, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to feed-water purifiers, adapted to be supported or suspended within a boiler shell, and in which the water is primarily heated so that substantially all of the impurities are precipitated before the heated water is discharged into the water chamber of the boiler.

-My object is to improve the construction of the purifier, by connecting its sections by a tongue and groove joint and a lap of one under the other; by providing means whereby the discharge is broken up; and by providing means whereby the surging of the water in the pan is controlled and the discharge regulated, particularly inlocomotives, road engines or other portable boilers, while they are in motion.

My invention consists in the several novel features of construction and operation hereinafter described and which are specifically set forth in the claims hereunto annexed. It is constructed as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1, is a transverse section of a boiler, also showing, in end elevation the feed-water purifier suspended therein. Fig. 2,is a side elevation of the purifier, detached. Fig. 3, is a top plan of same. Fig. 4, is a transverse section of the precipitating pan, having notched edges on line a: so without the inward flange. Fig. 5, is a like view of the same with the flange and notched edges. Fig. 6, is a like View of the same with the flange and without the notches. Fig. 7, is a top plan of part of the conduit portion enlarged. Fig. 8, is a vertical transverse section on line as, w in Fig. 7.

A, is a boiler shell having flues -aa all of ordinary construction. B, is the feed-water purifier consisting of a bottom, and vertical side walls creating a water receiver b-, a zigzag conduit -c and a precipitating pan d, though the so I cut notches orotherwise serrate them as at p m, in order to break up the water as it flows over the top of the pan; In conjunction with these notches, or without them,I provide the top of the pan with the inwardly projecting flange -nwhich will prevent the water in the pan from surging and splashing over, when the purifier is in a locomotive, road-engine or other portable boiler under motion. The purifier is provided with an ordinary water induction pipe -r and blowoff pipe -w.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A feed water purifier constructed in sectional parts, connected by tongue and groove joints in their vertical walls.

2. A feed-water purifier consisting of sectional parts, having their vertical walls connected by tongue and groove joints in their vertical walls, and a flange on each section projecting under the adjoining section, and means to secure said flanges.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of October, 1892.

WILLIAM V. WALKER.
