HEATING BOILER
That Saves One-Third the Fuel.
New Steel Boiler Highly
Recommended by
..s Engineers. go

( New style of heating boiler, which
! has been introduced into Minneapolis
has attracted the attention Of engineers,
! boiler inspectors and house owners who
: are especially interested in the question
of heating on account Of the remarkably
low fuel consumption. 1t is loco
in regard to the frebox, and is adapted
for heating purposes Of all kinds.
Instead Of the rectangular firebox
! Of the regular locomotive boiler, it has
/ a circular frebox, but is fitted with
rocking and dumping CRATES, similar to
those used in locomotive work. The
great point of advantage of this style
! boiler for heating is the unusually large
i amount of heating surface for trans
uniting the heat from the flame and hot
! gases to the water in the boiler. An
! other thing is the great ease with which
/ a boiler Of this type can be kept clean
I and free from SCOT. To this fact alone
I, Is attributed a saving of 10 per cent.
/: comparison with cast iron boilers, 1t has
shown saving in fuel Of fully one-third
under the same conditions. By those
familiar with it's construction, this
boiler is considered far superior to cast
Iron boilers in every way. It is made
| Of high grade 60,000-pound fange steel
boiler plate and is calked, riveted by
machinery and tested under high pres
sure. Steel has proven more reliable
than, cast iron. It cannot crack or
Sbreak and is 50 much stronger, explo-
sion is practically impossible. This
locomotive type heating boiler has more
!, than twice as much heating surface for
/ q given diameter Of CRATE as any cast
iron boiler. On account Of the strength
| Of the steel the boiler can be made
! thinner. allowing the water to come
| closer to the fire and to heat with less
loss. These facts are held to account
fors the remarkable showing made by
this boiler. The CRATES will burn any
kind of fuel; soft coal, Ignite and slack
have been found to give good results.
that it is arranged in two sets of bars
which can be operated Independently
81 Of each other. This permits using half
the crate at time during mild weather,
allowing ashes to accumulate on the
Eother half and reducing the amount of
fuel required.
The locomotive heating boiler is not
