INVENTS FLAMELESS
GAS-HEATING Method

LONDON. May 24.-Professor w. A.
Bone. F. r. s.. Livesay Professor of
Coal Gas and Fuel Industries at
Leeds University, in a lecture at
Leeds, described a new method of gas
heating without a flame, which, he
believes, may work a revolution in
fuel economy and have very important
industrial effects.
Professor Bone is one OF the great
est living authorities on the subject of
combustion. The new process has
already been put into practical opera
ton at Leeds. Hot surfaces promote
the combustion of gases in contact
with them and 1t is on this property
that the process is based.
An explosive mixture of gas and
air in proportions for complete com
bustion. or with the air in slight ex-
cess. is caused to burn without flame
in contact with the surface of red
hot porous solid. such as a block made
of particles Of f1rebrick bound togeth-
er by some suitable means.
The new process, in the form OF "di-
aphragm heating" may be used for
cooking purposes, such as grilling.
roasting and toasting. A porous dia-
phragm. made as already described.
Is mounted In a casing with a cham
Der for introducing gas at the back.
The front of the diaphragm remains
uncovered. The gas. under slight
pressure, is made to flow through
the porous diaphragm and is ignited
as it issues at the front surface, Civ
ing a white flame.
In flowing the gas is gradually mix
ed with air until the proportion for
complete combustion is obtained. The
white flame diminishes in size and
loses its white color. Then 1t re-
turns on TO the surface of the dia-
phragm, which soon becomes red hot.
All signs of flame disappear, and
there remains a tercely glowing sur
face, a wall of fire, but without flame,
from which radiates general heat.
The diaphragm may be maintained
up to about 1900 degrees Fahrenheit,
according TO the rate of supply of gas.
In addition to diaphragm heating"
the process is adaptable TO the heat
ing of furnaces, the raising Of steam
in multitubular boilers, and the melt
ing of metals, such as, for instance,
type metal for newspaper purposes.
A variety OF cumbustible gases other
than coal gas can be used in the pro-
cess. Professor Bone states that his
invention is economical and easy to
control
