Filed: 1912-11-19
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 26,520. Morgan, G. W. Nov. 19. Closed solid-fuel stoves; draught, regulating.- Air for primary combustion is admitted to the combustion chamber of a closed stove through unvariable openings in sufficient quantity to maintain combustion and is supplemented by an additional regulable supply. The combustion products are led from the combustion chamber through a passage partly heated by the fuel to a draught-controlling chamber arranged below the combustion chamber. The products pass laterally through the draught-controlling chamber to an outlet to the flue and are controlled by a regulable air supply admitted to the chamber at a level lower than that at which the combustion products are laterally directed. Fig. 1 shows an example of a stove in which the invention may be carried into effect. The unvariable openings are constituted by one or more perforations in a door e by which the variable supply may be admitted to the combustion chamber a through a draught-chamber and ash-pit c. The combustion products pass to the draught-regulating chamber g by a pipe k, and then laterally to the outlet to the flue m. The door h of the chamber g has an air inlet i located close to the bottom of the chamber and controlled by a door adjusted ;by means of a notched bar 18. The combustion products and air admitted at the inlet i remain separate until reaching the outlet m. A tight-fitting door o is provided to permit fuelfeeding.
