Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
T. B. DEXTER, OF LYNN, ASSIGNOR TO T. W. BEAMIS, OF BOSTQN, MASS.
IMPROVEMENT VIN STEAM-BOILER FURNACES.
Speeification forming part of Letters Patent No. 49,241. dated August 8, 1865.
To all 107mm 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, T. B. DEXTER, of Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts,haveinvented an Irnprovementin Steam- Boiler Furnaces; and I do hereby (leclare that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, is a description of my in- .vention sufficient to enable others skilled in the a-rt to practice it.
This invention relates to the construction and manner of application of appa-ratus to be used in connection with furnaces of steam- .boilers for aiding and urging the combustion of the fuel. Various kinds of fan and steam blowers have been employed for these purposes, all of which are more or less objectionable.
In my construction l extend a steam-pipe from the boiler to the chimney, and this steam in its passage drives a rotary fan fixed on a Vertical shaft, this shattcarryinga fan-blower, which by its rotation drives air into the ashpit and through the fuel, while by a slight change this blower takes the gaseousi products of combustion behind the bridge ofthe furnacegrate and forces them into the ash-pit and through the fuel, thus making a hot blast.
The invention consists in this peculiar construction and arrangement of parts.
The drawings represent a side elevation of a furnaceembodying these improvements, Figure 1. showing the blower arranged to force atmospheric air into the fn'el, while in Fig. 2 the blower takes the air and gases from -behind the grate-bridge, the parts being broken to illustrate clearly the invention.
a denotes the furnace; b, the chimney; c, a steam-pipe leading from the boiler to the chimney. This steam-pipe in its passage to the chimney leads into and out ot' a box, d, in which is a wheel, e, mounted on a Vertical v shat't,f, and carrying blades so disposed that the pressure of the steam in its passage through the pipe c imparts rotat-ion to the wheel and the shaftf on which it is fixed. This shaft extends down the side of the furnace-Wall and carries at its lower end a fan-wheel, g, placed in an air box or chamber, h, from which chamber a pipe, i, leads into the ash-pit of the furnace. This chamber has an opening in its top, which is closed, when desirable, by a cover, k. When the steam-cock in the pipe c is opened (the box d being closed and the cover k raised from the chamber h) the pressure of steam in pipe c rotates the wheel e and shaft, whereby the fan-wheel g is driven, the air being drawn in through the openingin chamber h, and forced by the fan through the pipe t into the ash-pit and through the'rfuel, urging its combustion, as could be readily understood. The cover k, when closed, makes an auxiliary chamber, l, above and communicating freely with the chamber h. From this chamber l a pipe or passage, m, leads into the furnace directly behind the bridge-wall of the furnace. This passage is closed at proper times by a gate, a. Now, when it is desirable to urge the combustion of the fuel by a hot blast the cover k is closed and the gate a opened. communication being thereby effected between the space behindthe bridge of the furnace and the ash-pit by the pipe i, cham bers 71, and l, and passage m.. The rotation ot' the fan will now draw. the hot air and the uneonsumed gaseous products of combustion from the rear of the fire and drive them through the pipe i into the ash-pit, thus 'supplying a hot blast to the fuel in a Convenient and practical manner.
By shuttin g the gate a and raising the cover k this hot blast is changed to a cold one, and, vice versa, by shutting the cover k and opening the gate 'i the hot blast will be produced, as will be readily understood.
I claim- 1. The arrangement of the vdevices for driving the blower g, consisting of the steam-pipe c, wheel e, and shaft f, Operating substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of devices by which the blast can be changed from a hot to a cold blast,
substantiaily as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of May, A.`D. 1865.
