` Application lcd August 13, 1909. Serial No. 512,114.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ennemi BENDER, a subiiect of the King of'Prussa,residing at Mo tkestrasse 2, Hagen, Germany, have 1n- 5 vented certain new and useful Img'ovements in Re enerators; and I do here y declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap- 1oV pertains to make and use the same, reference eiug had to the' accompanyin drawings, andto letters of reference mar ed thereon, which form a part of this specification.

`My invention relates to air heaters or reases are caused to be continuously led t rough a series of passages formedv of tile or brick, said tile or brick4 assages bein simultane- 'ously surrounded y air to be eated passin continuously through the regenerator sit er parallel with or in counter-current to the furnace heating ases, the specific construction of which w1 l hereinafter 'be more fully explained with reference to the accompanying drawings in whichlike parts are similar designated, and in which- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section on the line G-H of Fi 3. Fi 9. is a horizontal section on the ine A of Fi 1. Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line C of Fi 2 and Fig. 4 is 'a section taken on the line L-F of Fig. 2, while Fig.'5 4is a section similar to Fig. 4 showing a modification.

Thecasin for the regenerator comprises suitable bric work or walling a, on the bot-A tom of which are placed rows of tile or briclf spaced a art transverselyxso as toV form longitudina passages lo' between them. 0n these ro'w's of tiles f are supported tile 40 having lateral rabbets, or in other words are T-shaped, the larger ones h of whichV cover the spaces between the tile f and the smaller ones or spacing tile g of which` rest on the tile f, the tiles g and h alternating across the regenerator, thereby forming grooves between the abutti g rabbeted sides of Ithe tiles h, and g. In hese grooves are set other tile 'i substantially perpendicular to those g and h, which tile in turn are covered with inverted tile g and h thereby forming longitudinal passages d and smaller longitu ina'l parallel passagps k, one on each side of the passages d. T e structure thus described forms a unit, any 4number of 65 which may be assembled with respect to one another ,to increase the number of passages d and c and as shown in Fig. 3 three such units'have been assembled to orlu a rcctan ular regeuerator.

T e larger longitudinal passa es d terminate at one end in an inlet cham er b and at the other end in an outlet chamber c, the gases from an suitable source being led to the chamber through the passage d out through the chamber c to the stack or like. i

The smallerassages la are somewhat shorter than tose d and terminate at a chamberm. at one end and a chamber Z at Vthe other end, there being suitable openings left in one side of the rectangular regenerator casin to communicate wlth said chambers m an l. By omitting the tiles f and g at the chambers m and l, fonexam le, as shown in Fig. 4, just above the chamber m, the air can pass around on all sides of the longitudinal flues d and enter the longitudinal air passages k. These longitudinal air passages k terminate at l in the same manner as shown with respect to the entrance chamber m. The air-enters the chamber m and has its exit at Z, e., is a counter-current to the furnace ases. The opposite direction of the dow otg the air maybe attained by reversin the intake from m to Z.

In ig. 5, I have shown amodification in which t e tile or brick h and 'i have rounded corners thereby oiering less resistance to the air in-its passage through the assages k of the regenerator that surround he passages 90 he tile or brick may be arched when constructing the passages d of large cross sectional area without departing from the nature of my invention.

The regenerator shown is of the horizontal t'ype, where the ases and air are passed horizontal] 4throu the regenerator, it is of course o vious t at the same construction may be made vertical.

claim 1. A regenerator com rising one or more units, each composed o vertical tile spaced apart and -horizontal tile forming longltudinal channels, s acing tile se arating the horizontal tile rom one anot er whereby said channels are surrounded by channels, an entrance chamber and an exit chamber for the longitudinal channels and an entrance chamber and an exit chamber for the spaces -between said channels, communieating with the s aces between the channels, saidcommunicatlon being formed by omitlois ting the spacing tile between them at. their entrance and exit ends.

2. A re enerator comprising one or more units, anni composed'of rows of flat tile spaced from one another, tile spanning the spaces between the aforementioned tile, having lateral rabbets and spacing tile alterhating with said rabbeted tile also having lateral I'abbets, Hat tile mounted in the grooves formed by the adjacent rabbets end inverted rabbetd tile and spacing tile, an inlet and un exit chamber communicating with the channels formed by the larger tile and an inlet nd an exit chamber communicating with the `spaces formed on each side of the channels formed by the larger tile.

3. In a re enerator, a unit comprising flat .tile spacedA rom one another, tile spanning the spaces between Vthe -aforementioned tile having'lateral rabbets on one face, flat tile perpendicular to the rbbeted tile mounted 1n the rabbets thereof to form rectan ular passa es, the corners of said` tile ing roun ed to forni rounded outer corners on the passages so formed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name 'in presence of two subscribin Witnesses.
