GENERATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming partei Letters Patent No. 560,818, dated May 26, 1896.
Application iiled March 26, 1895. Renewed November 4, 1895. Serial No. 567,957. (No model.)
To all whom t 11mg concern: Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. RANTON, ofv Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, Ain the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Generators, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description. y
This invention relates to improvements in generators, `particularly applicable for heating houses and other buildings, and has for its object the production of a simple and practical device which is highly eflicient in operation and durable in use; and to this end it consists, essentially, in the general construction and arrangement of the parts of the generator, all as hereinafter more particularly described, and pointed out in the claims.
In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which like letters indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure lis a front elevation of my improved generator. Fig. 2 is avertical section taken on line 2 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a transverse sec-- tion taken on line 3 3, Fig. 2; and Figs. 4L and 5 are transverse sections taken, respectively, on lines 4E 4 and 5 5, Fig. 2.
A and B represent, respectively, the inner and outer shells of my improved generator, which, as best seen at Fig. 1, are formed of substantially the same length. The inner shell A preferably tapers from its base toward its upper end and is usually formed circular in cross-section. rIhe outer shell B is preferably formed with upright walls and is also usually formed circular and provided with manholes b, closed by caps b and suitable fastening means b. The ash and combustion chambers O O of theV generator are preferably inclosed `by the lower end of the shell A, which extends upwardly above the combustion-chamber. A suitable grate c is arranged within the lower end oi the shell A and is mounted upon any desirable construction of support c'. A fuel-inlet passage O2 and an ash-door a are arranged above and below the grate c and the assa'e C2 isclosed b a door a. The Jasy sage C2 is preferably formed by a shell c2, havingi ts opposite ends provided with outwardlyprojecting flanges secured by suitable fastening means o3 to the adjacent faces of the shells A B. Said grate and fuel-inlet passage form no part of my present invention, and consequently they may be of any desirable form, size, and construction.
A water-containing chamber D is formed between the shells A B, and top and bottom plates E F interposed between the opposite ends of the shells A B. The plates E F are formed with downturned flanges c f, arranged within the adjacent ends of the shell B and at the outside `of the corresponding ends of the shell A, and these iianges are secured in position by suitable fastening means e f. Any desirable construction of water-glass D and pressure-indicator D2 may be connected to the chamber D; but as `said parts form no part of my present invention it is unnecessary tofurther illustrate and describe the same. The peculiar form of the shell A compels the products of combustion to impinge directly against its inner face, but does not prevent combustion of the gases or unduly retard the same. The Water is also arranged in a comparatively thin body or sheet entirely surrounding the inner shell A, and is consequently easily heated. The utilization of the heat of the products of combustion is also greatly facilitated by flues presently described and water-tubes a2 c3, which are arranged one .above the other and extend transversely across the shell A. The outer ends of the tubes a2 as are secured to the shell A, and a similar transverse tube a4 is arranged midway between the tubes (t2 a3 and at right angles thereto.
G II are inner and outer upper draft-chambers arranged above the top plate E, and I is a lower draft-chamber arranged beneath the bottom plate F between the lower ends of the shells A B. The draft-chamber G decreases in area toward its top and is formed with an upwardly-crowning top wall g, extending upwardly from the top plate E and provided with an outwardly-projectin g flange g", se-
cured to said plate E. The upper portion of the wall gis formed with an aperture g2, which is opened and closed by a damper g3. The chamber II is formed with an upwardly-tapering top wall h, extending from the top plate E and formed with a projecting flange 7L', se-
cured to said plate E. The upper end of the wall 7L is provided with an outlet-opening h2, to which a suitable draft-pipe (not illustrated) may be connected, and said wall is formed with a series of doors Il. A hand-piece g4 is guided through the wall h of the chamber II and is connected to the damper g3, which is movable in guides g5, secured to the inner face of the wall g beneath the aperture g2.
.DoWnflow-flnes J, inclining toward each other from their lower ends, connect the chambers G I, and substantially upright upflowflues K, interposed between the iiues J and the shellB, connect the chambers II I. The products of combustion, after impinging against the inner face of the shell A and the outer faces of the tubes a2 as a4, enter the chamber G and then either pass from the chamber Gr directly through the aperture g2 and the opening h2 or else through the ilues J, chamber I, and flues K to the chamber II and thence through the opening h2.
Additional flues M connect the fuel-inlet passage C2 with the draft-chamber II for additionally heating the overlying water, and these flues M also operate to increase the direct draft from the combustion-chamber and to prevent the escape of gas when fuel is being inserted. The described construction of fines is particularly practical and effective and serves to reduce to a minimum the amount of fuel requisite for operating my improved generator.
The operation of my invention will be readily perceived upon reference to the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings, and it will be particularly understood that it consists of but few parts, which are easily manufactured and assembled, insures conibustion of the gases in a chamber of comparatively large diameter and the effective utilization of the heat of said gases.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
