A VENTILATING AND AIR WARMING APPARATUS
Year: 1884

page_text: I GEORGE CONNELL of Moseley Street in the City and County of Newcastle
upon Tyne Building Surveyor do hereby declare the nature of said invention for
"A VENTILATING AND AIR WARMING APPARATUS" to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its objects the introducing of fresh warmed air into
apartments buildings of every description and all structures where means of
warming the entering air are available and further to withdraw the more or less
vitiated air from the interior to supply the source of heat.
"
This is effected by a combustion chamber at the bottom of a vertical "chase" or
cavity in the wall or side of the building or structure or projecting as a casing
from the side thereof This combustion chamber is fitted with external "gills"
and contains a pipe with a number of gas jets along its entire length and an
opening into the interior of the building or structure admits the air necessary for
combustion to the gas jets. From this combustion chamber flues are carried up
to convey away the products of combustion having on their upper ends "extractors
constructed according to my Patent No 4150 Aug 28th 1883 which deliver into an
air chamber which acts as a receiver & cushions any back current of air from
which a flue or flues leads or lead to the external air and the end or ends of which
are also protected against an inward current of air.
"
The air to be warmed is taken from the outside at bottom of "chase" cavity or
casing through an air grating and gauze screen and passing over and around the
combustion chamber and in contact with the flues, which may also be fitted with
'gills" becomes warmed and passes into the apartment building or structure at
the top of the vertical "chase" cavity or casing in an oblique direction by the
action of a flap hinged at top and opening into the cavity or casing so that there
is no projection into the apartment or building or in the case of a projecting
chamber it will deliver at the top. The foul air flues and outlets may be taken in
any direction and made to deliver the vitiated air and products of combustion to
the external air at any point above the combustion chamber.
This apparatus in modified forms may be applied to gas or oil stoves or heaters,
fresh warmed air being brought into the building apartment or structure and the
vitiated air and products of combustion conveyed away.
Although I prefer gas in general and wherever it can be applied, the air may be
warmed by oil lamps in some special cases.
When not required to warm the entering air the apparatus can be made to act
to admit cold air without causing draughts.

I, GEORGE CONNELL of Mosley Street in the City and County of Newcastle
upon Tyne, Building Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for
"A VENTILATING AND AIR WARMING APPARATUS and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly ascertained and described in and by
the following statement :-
This Invention has for its object the introduction of fresh warmed air into
apartments, buildings of every description and all structures where means of
warming the entering air are available, and further to withdraw the more or less
vitiated air from the interior to supply the source of heat.
This is effected by a combustion chamber at the bottom of a shaft, cavity or
"chase" in the wall or side of the apartment, building or structure, or projecting
as a casing from the side thereof. This combustion chamber is fitted with external
gills," and contains a pipe with a number of gas jets along its entire length, and
an opening into the interior of the apartment, building or structure admits the air
necessary for combustion to the gas jets. From this combustion chamber a flue or
flues (also fitted with external "gills") are carried up to convey away the products
of combustion, having on their upper ends "Extractors" constructed according to
my Patent N° 4150 August 28th 1883, delivering into a cushion chamber which
acts as a receiver and cushions any reverse currents of air; from this cushion
chamber a flue or flues leads or lead to the external air, the end or ends of which
are also protected against reverse currents of air.
The flue or flues for products of combustion and vitiated air may be taken in
any direction and made to deliver their contents into the external air at any
point above the combustion chamber, or they may deliver into an adjacent flue or
flues;
the combustion chamber and flues therefrom may be made of such capacity
as to extract from the apartment, building or structure the same quantity of air as
is introduced from the exterior, thereby dispensing with the necessity for special
outlet ventilators.
The air to be warmed is taken from the outside at the bottom of the shaft,
cavity or "chase" through an air grating and gauze screen and passing over and
around the combustion chamber, flues and "gills" becomes warmed and passes into
the apartment, building or structure at or near the top or any intermediate point
of the shaft, cavity or "chase" having a hinged flap to regulate its admission
opening into the shaft, cavity or chase so that there is no projection into the
apartment, building or structure; in the case of a projecting casing it will be
delivered from the top and will have a regulating valve below.
"
"
When desired to admit the external warmed air at or near the bottom of the
shaft, cavity or "chase" a partition is formed across the centre of the same and
parallel with its front, the air after traversing up the said shaft, cavity or "chase
on one side of the partition and down upon the other side is delivered to the
interior through a door above the combustion chamber.
Although I prefer gas in general and wherever it can be applied, the air may be
warmed by means of an oil lamp in special cases.
This apparatus in modified forms may be applied to gas or oil stoves or heaters,
fresh warmed air being brought into the apartment, building or structure and the
vitiated air and products of combustion conveyed away.
When it is not required to warm the entering air the apparatus without any
alteration whatever acts as a cold air inlet without causing draughts upon the
occupants of the apartment, building or structure.

combustion before they are finally discharged to atmosphere, in combination with
extractors within it on said flues and at its outlet to atmosphere, with the object
of preventing or reducing the force of reverse currents, arranged, constructed and
operating substantially as shewn and described.
Dated this 3rd day of January 1885.
