A MEANS OR DEVICE FOR IMPROVING THE CIRCULATION AND AUGMENTING THE HEATING CAPACITY OF THE FLUID IN HEATING SYSTEMS.
Patented Sept. 4, 1906.
Application filed October 27 1905 Serial No. 284.677.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK H. WHEELooK,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, District of Columbia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Means or Devices for Improving the Circulation and Augmenting the Heating Capacity of the Fluid in Heating Systems, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a device or means for improving the circulation and augmenting the heating ca I acity of the fluid in heating systems and the like, more particularly, though not exclusively, intended for use in. hot-Water heating systems for buildings.
The invention resides in the'device and in the combination thereof in a fluid-conduit, as hereinafter set forthand illustrated.
That which is regarded as new is set forth in the clauses of claim appended to the description.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrat ing what I regard as the best-known embodiment of my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device Flg. 2, an edge view; Fig. 3, atop plan; Fig. 4, a side view. Fig. 5 is a view of a heat-generator, one of the devices arranged in a fluid-pi e in the fire-box thereof, a radiator include in the pipe system, and another of the devices incorporated in the circulation-pipe adjacent the latter; Fig. 6, a plan of a suitable blank from which to construct the device.
In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 desi ates the body of the device, which has para lel side edges 2 to fit against the inner wall of the pipe or tube in which the article is arranged for use and which serve as one convenient means by which it is connected and held in stationary position for use therein. I have found a body of the character referred suitable in use, but do not wish to restrict my invention to the form or shape thereof.
The body 1 is provided at opposite sides of the longitudinal median line thereof with laterally-projecting concave-convex end wings 3, which I term deflectors," one of which projects from one face of said body and the other from the opposite face thereof and the outer edges of which conform to and substantially fit the wall of the pipe in which it is arranged. The wings taper from their bases to the tips, presenting substantially V- shaped concavo-convex faces, and are disposed obli uely or slantingly with res ect to the paralle edges 2, inclining inwar ly and upwardly to provide centripetal deflectingsurfaces 4, that will deflect those portions of fluid upon which they act and conduct the same to and dischar e it at the center of the fluid column. It W'lll be observed that the deflecting-wings are at the end' of the body portion, so that the fluid deflected thereby immediately constitutes a part of the'undivided fluid column, and, furthermore, that the deflecting-surfaces of the wings run in the same direction, one being operatively in advance of the other, so that one does not opposethe action of the other, with the result that a whirling motion is imparted to the fluid as it leaves the device. The device may be conveniently constructed of a blank such as shown in Fig. 6, havin a trian ular section removed from one en thereo to provide ortions 0., that may be readily fashioned into the centripetal deflector-wings above described.
In Fig. 5 the utilization of the device arranged in a water-tube in the firebox of a furnace F is illustrated, and in this fi re it is also shown incorporated in a circu atingpipe of a heating system outside of the furnace or other heat-generator, the system including a radiator R. It may be disposed in the system at any point found desirable. It makes possible the installation of an effective hot-water heatin system in connection with a small stove as the generator, and it may be readily introduced into the circulation-pipes of existing systems and secures marked improvement in the circulation and heating capacity thereof, with a very material reduction 1n the consumption of fuel.
Without desiring to restrict my invent-ion to any theory or law governing the operation thereof I attribute the beneficial results of its use to the fact that those portions of the fluid column which flow in contact or close to the wall of the conduit, pipe, or tube, and therefore become first heated and are always of higher temperature than that which flows fourth the interior area usually employed in the circulation-pipes of hot-water heating rated therein and including in the circuit two 'perature of the entire column, and this effect is facilitated by the fact that the fluid-passage is slightly constricted, whereby the pressure and the velocity -of fiow are in. creased, causing an agitation of the fluid column and imparting an impetusto the circulation.
Whatever be the reason therefonthe device produces a decided improvement in circulation and an increase in work, which is evidenced by a markedly greater heat-giving capacity.
In actualpractice the. utility of the appliance has been demonstrated. Inone installation a single three-quarter-inch pipe (onesystems) disposed in an ordinary hot-air furnace and having one of these devicesincorporadiators of usual make has served to effectually and equally heat radiators of more than seventy square feet of radiator-surface with a greatly-reduced expenditure of fuel.
The device has been employed ina pipe disposed in the fire-pot of an ordinary small heating-stove andconnected up with radiators and excellent results secured.
While I have described my invention more particularly in its use in connection with hotwater heating systems, I do not restrict the same thereto, but claim the device orappliance in respect of all the uses of which it is capable.
Having described my invention, I- claim 1.v A means for improving the circulation of a circulating-fluid system consisting of a g body provided with oppositely-projecting l centripetal deflecting end wings. a
2. The combination with a fluid-circulating system, of a device incorporated therewith within the piping thereof and-provided with a centripetal deflector end Whig.
3. The combination with a fluid-circulating system, ofa device incorporated therewith within the piping thereof and provided with centripetal deflecting end Wings.
4. The combination with a heat-generator and a fluid-circulating system part of which is arranged in the fire-box thereof, of a device incorporated into the piping of said system within said fire-box and provided with centripetal deflecting end wings.
5. A means for improving the circulation of a circulating-fluid system, consisting of a body provided with oppositely-projecting .incorporated in the'piping of said system within said fire box, and provided with centripetal deflecting-Wings.
8. A means for improving the circulation in a circulating-fluid heating system, consisting of a device located in a fluid-conduit of the system having means for imparting a centripetal whirling motion to the fluid col umn.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
