Improvements in Hot Water Heating Apparatus.
I FREDERICK WILLIAM BECK of 191 London Road, East Grinstead Sussex
Inventor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement in heating water by means of carrying
the hot fumes which have passed through the boiler further through a proportionately
long flue pipe which is encased by a wider pipe allowing for a waterway between
the two tubes thereby transferring the waste beat passing through the flue pipe to the
water surrounding the same. This flue pipe may be carried horizontally oblique
or vertically or in a combination of either.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I describe the same with
reference to the accompanying two sheets of drawings showing how my invention
may be utilized.

part of the boiler which may be heated with any kind of heat giving substance.

fume or flue pipe which may vary in length and diameter.

through it if desirable. D the waterspace in the lower part of the boiler. D1 the
waterspace in the upper part of the boiler. D2 the waterway surrounding the
flue pipe. E two studs for suspending a fire-grating or any other kind of fuel
container.

inspect the flame, F two perforated caps permitting some of the fumes to escape
and also of cleaning out the flue pipes. Letter G shows an adjustable lid where
the coil and boiler is to be supplied with water and which at the same time must
answer as a steam escape valve; H a perforated lid, (answering the same purpose
than letters F). I a tap for drawing lot water or emptying the coil, J two short
stands on which the two vertical tubes of the coil rest. The above shown coil
may be varied by having more or less tubes containing water and more or less flue
pipes. The boiler may be heated by means of centre draught paraffin lamps, gas
or any other kind of heat giving substance.

FREDERICK WILLIAM BECK 191 London Road, East Grinstead, Sussex
Inventor do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to an improvement in heating water by means of carrying
the hot fumes which have passed through the boiler further through a proportionately
long flue-pipe which is encased by a wider pipe, allowing for a waterway between
the two tubes, thereby transferring the waste heat passing through the flue pipe to the
water surrounding the same. This flue pipe may be carried horizontally obliquely
or vertically or in a combination of either.
To enable my invention to be fully understood 1 describe the same with
reference to the two sheets of drawings left with the Provisional Specification
showing how my invention may be utilized.
Fig. 1 represents a sectional view. Letter A shows the air space inside the lower
part of the boiler which may be heated with any kind of heat giving substance.
A1 indicates the fume passage in the upper part of the boiler. A 2 part of the
fume or flue pipe which may vary in length and diameter.
D 1 the
B the return socket.
C the sight hole which may be enlarged sufficient to permit of passing solid fuel
through it if desirable. D the waterspace in the lower part of the boiler.
waterspace in the upper part of the boiler. D2 the waterway surrounding the
flue pipe. E two studs for suspending a lamp, fire-grating or any other kind of
fuel container.
Fig. 2 letter A shows the continuation of the flue-pipe. B an adjustable cap
enabling the flue-pipes to be cleaned out when necessary. C the fume-escape-pipe.
Letters D and D show the waterway in a so-called T-pice or other suitable
fitting permitting of a diversion of the flow of water. E denotes a spigot stopping
the flow of the heated water round the flue pipe, allowing the latter to project a
little.
Fig. 3 shows how this invention may be utilized in connection with a so-called
coil shown in vertical section; on which letter A denotes the air space within the
boiler. B horizontal & vertical flue pipes. the waterway in the boiler.
C1 the waterway surrounding the horizontal flue pipe. C2 the waterway
surrounding the vertical flue pipe. C3 the waterway in the coil. C4 the return
pipes. D two studs for suspending a lamp or other fuel container. E where a
sight hole may be made to inspect the flame. F two perforated caps or slides
permitting some of the fumes to escape and also of cleaning out the flue pipes.
G an adjustable lid or cap where the coil and boiler is to be supplied with
water and which at the same time answers as a steam escape and safety-valve.
Ha perforated lid or cap. I a tap for drawing hot water or emptying the coil.
J two short stands on which the two vertical tubes of the coil rest. The above
shown coil may be varied by having more or less tubes containing water and inore or
less flue pipes which may be arranged so as to lead any objectionable fumes right out
of the building required to be heated. The boiler and coil may be heated by
means of centre-draught paraffin lamps, gas or any other kind of heat giving
substance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The above described principle of encasing the flue pipe in a larger pipe with

page_text: 2. To adapt any kind of boiler for passing the proportionate fume pipe through
a proportionate hot water pipe.
3. The water heated by the flue pipe to circulate either through the whole of
the hot water service or otherwise.
