Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 18,257. Dickenson, W. C. Aug. 11. [Cognate Application, 28;637/13.] Bakers' ovens.-Consists of forms of circulating or closed-coil Perkins' tubes adapted to allow of rapid attainment of full circulation and of means for controlling the heating of different sets of tubes. Each tube comprises two heatdistributing portions of which the lower 15, 16 is connected to the upper end of the furnaceheated portion 14, 15 and the upper, by means of a descending member 18, 19, to the lower end of the furnace-heated portion. The major part of the water therefore stands in the lower heat-distributing portion and the furnace-heated portion, and is thus readily heated by the ascending steam and by the convection currents set up in it. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the descending member 18, 19 is located in a space between the baking-chamber and the furnace and therefore has to cross the portion 15, 16, but in the modification shown in Fig. 7 it is located at the far side of the furnace, and the whole of the tube can thus lie in one plane. In both forms, Figs. 5 and 7, the upper and lower heat-distributing portions of a single set of tubes provide top and bottom heat respectively, but by placing these portions closer together a separate set of tubes may be used for each heat. More or less independent regulation of two or more sets of tubes is obtained by causing the tubes to project into separate damper-controlled flues 27, 28 formed by dividing the combustion chamber longitudinally by an arch 25 and wall 26.
