To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. RIBLET, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the fol- 1 lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to heaters and consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

More particularly the invention relates to that type of heaters commonly used for supplying steam boilers and when so used are known as feed water heaters.

In carrying out my invention, I form the heater in sections. These sections are preferably formed of cast iron and the body of the section is made up of a series of passages, the steam passages being transverse to the water passages and the walls of the steam passages being integral with and forming also the walls of the water passages. The passages are properly connected at the sides so that there is a continuous passage for liquid, and also an inlet and outlet for all the steam passages from the main steam inlet and leading to the discharge outlet. 1

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the heater. Fig. 2, a section on the line 2-2 in Figs. 1 and 3. Fig. 3, a section on the line 33 in Figs. 2 and 4. Fig. 4, a section on the lines 44 in Figs. 2 and 3.

l marks the base. This is provided with the usual lip 2 for catching any leakage there may be from the heater. The liquid enters after passing through the heater at 3. A deflector 4 is arranged in front of the entrance 3 so as to prevent the agitation of the liquid in the base, the base forming a settling chamber for the liquid. The liquid passes out through the outlet 5. The deflector 6 is arranged in front of this outlet for preventing the agitation of the liquid in the body of the base. v A heater section 7 is arranged immediately above the base; a section 7, immediately above the section 7 and a section 7? above this. Sections may one passage with the next succeeding passage so'that there is preferably one continuous passage extending back and forth through the heater as clearly shown in Fig. 4. This passage is shallow, but preferably the full Plates 9 are arranged on the sides of the sec- I sages 8 may be longer so as to include a greater number i of passages if desired.

The plates are secured to the sections by means of studs 10. One of the plates has a stud 1 0 which is socured to thebase. The cavity 9 in this instance includes the inlet 3 so as to connect the base with the sections.. The top plate of the section? and the top and bottom plates of the section 7 and the bottom plate of the section 7'are provided with slots 12 in which are arranged the bolts 13 for securing the bodies of the sections together. When a larger capacity of heater is desired, sections similar to 7 are inserted indefinitely. The plates 9 have an overlapping pocket 14 so as to connect the passages of the sections with the initial passage 8 of the succeeding section. This is clearly shown in Fig. 4. The upper plate 9 has an extension 15 as'shown at the left of Fig. 4, which forms a closure for the upper passage 8. The top plate 16 inelosiug the top passage 8 has an opening into which the pipe 17 leads. The liquid for the heater is delivered at this point.

In the use of these heaters settlings accumulate in the bottom of. the passages. In order that they may be readily cleaned, I arrange a perforated plate 18, preferably in the form of gauze in each passage 8. it will readily. be observed that by removing the plates 9, these passages are all exposed. This can he done without disturbing the other parts of the heater. The plates 18 can then be removed, carrying with them the body of the foreign matter that has settled in the bottom of the passage.

It enters a chamber 20 which includes the. whole side of the section. Passages 21 are arranged alternately I 'with'the passages 8 and extend transversely to the passages from side to side of the heater, Studs 26 extend as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Nuts 28 are secured to the tops of these studs, delivering pressure to setions.

9f the sections, as well as to increase the radiating surface, I prefer to arrange in the passages 21 numerous posts 29 preferably formed integrally with the castings. What I claim as new is;

l. The combination of a heater section having liquid passages and steam passages alternately, and transversely arranged in an integral piece.

3. A heater section comprising, a body having alternating liquid and steam passages arranged transversely to each other; removable plates connecting the liquid pasthrough the sections and are secured to the base at 27 In order to strengthen the castings forming the body 2.
