HENRY K. HESS, OF SYRAOUSEVNEl/V YORK.
STEAM-GENERATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,351, dated May 11, 189'?. Application liled June 16, 1896. Serial No. 595,770. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY K. Hass, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in SteamGenerators, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to improvements in generators for steam or hot water, and has for its object the production of a device which produces a maximum amount of steam at a minimum cost of fuel; and to this end it consists, essentially, in the general construction -and arrangement of the component parts of the generator, all as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which like letters indicate corresponding parts.
The drawing is a sectional view, partly in elevation, of my improved generator.
As is well known a great amount of heat is produced upon the explosion of gases, and my improved generator is of such construction that heat generated in this manner is utilized to raise the temperature of a circulating fluid and, if desired, to generate steam.
A represents a water-containing receptacle, B a chamberfor heating the Water in said receptacle, and O an explosion -chamber, which receives gas,`vaporized oil, or similar fuel, communicates with the chamber B, and is surrounded by a water-containing chamber O', preferably supplied by a feed-water pipe O2.
A conduit c preferably connects the chambers B C, and a valve D of any desirable construction is movable in a valve-chamber opening from said conduit and operates to control the passage of the gas through said conduit.
Oonduits A' B conduct the hot water or steam and the exploded gas from the receptacle A and the chamber B and discharge the same into a conduit A2, which conveys the hot water or steam and the exploded gas to any desired locality for utilization. An automatically-operating valve B2 in the conduit B prevents return of the exploded gas, the., into the chamber B.-
A suitable conduit c discharges gas within the chamber C, which is preferably provided with'an automatically-operating vent-valve C2. A conduit c2 permits the escape of the exploded gas from said chamber. Valves D D2, of any desirable construction, regulate the passage of the gas and air through said conduits, and an igniter consisting of normally-separated terminals c3 c4 produces the spark for exploding said gas and air.
The valves D D D2 are operated bysuitable means, here illustrated as springs cl d d2, a shaft D3, driven by any desirable power-transmitting mechanism, (unnecessary to herein illustrate and describe,) and suitable connections between said shaft and valves. The terminals c3 c4 of the igniter are contacted with each other by suitable connections between said shaft Dgand one of the terminals, which is movable toward and away from the other terminal. The gas mixed with a suitable amount of air is forced through the conduit c by any desirable means, as a pump D4, which is connected to said conduit and a gas-supply conduit c5, and is provided with a piston connected to suitable driving means, as the shaft D2. If desired, however, the air may be fed to the chamber O in the same manner as the gas by a separate conduit, and suitable means for feeding the air through said conduit and controlling its discharge therefrom.
In the operation of myinvention the valve D closes the passage between the chambers B O, gas and air are fed within the chamber O, the valves D D2 shut off the passage of the gas and air, the valve D opens the communication between the chambers B C, and the igniter then explodes the gas and air, which is free to expand into the chamber B. After the explosion of the gas the valve D prevents communication between the chambers B O, the valve D2 temporarily permits the disch-arge of the exploded gas from the chamber O and then prevents said discharge, and the valve D permits the entrance of additional-gas within the explosion-chamber C. The heat generated by .the explosion of the gas raises the temperature of the fluid within the receptacle A and the chamber O', and the valve B2 permits the escape of the exploded IOO gases from the chamberB when the pressure within said chamber is sufficient to operate the valve.
The operation of my invention will now be readily understood upon reference to the foregoing description and the accompanying drawing, and it will be particularly noted. that I do not herein specifically limit myself to the detail construction and arrangement of the component parts of my generator.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
