Year: 1881

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henry Defty, of Middlesboro, in the County of
York, Engineer, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR
GENERATING HEAT FROM GAS OR OILS, AND UTILISING THE SAME FOR
WARMING BUILDINGS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henry Defty at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 22nd November 1881.
HENRY DEFTY, of Middlesboro, in the County of York, Engineer. "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN APPARATUS FOR GENERATING HEAT FROM GAS OR OILS, AND
UTILIZING THE SAME FOR WARMING BUILDINGS."
This Invention relates, first, to cases where combustion is required to be generated
from gas, oils, or other substances to heat air or liquids, for warming conservatories,
rooms, or other buildings; secondly, the improved is an arrangement of burner for
light and heat, oils or gas being supplied from the tank, vessell, or main by means
of a small pipe or tube into the duplex stock where there is one chamber inverted
within the other, and on the said stock is so fixed and fitted with small granulated
mixture acting as nibs or burners for the gas or oil on the outward shell, the air is
brought to act and becomes super heated before coming into actual contact with
the naked flame, at the same time the gas or oils at this point to be consumed is
effectually heated so as to perfect a clean and uniformity of combustion for the
illuminating and heating power, such may be required; immediately over this
burner is placed an arrangement of oblong chambers passing between two upright,
round, square, or other shaped columns, in which the ends of the said horizontal
chambers are fixed in an angular form through which the air internally in its
passage becomes heated; by that means all heat generated by this process is
immediately utilized into the rooms; on the top of the chambers there is fixed a
resavoir filled with lime or other preparations to absorb and disenfect all impurities
arising from this process of combustion, by this means in what I claim is to
perfect a utilization of combustion and impurities from gas & oils by an
arrangment of consuming and colecting chambers.

HENRY DEFTY, of Middlesboro', in the County of York, Engineer.
"IMPROVE-
MENTS IN APPARATUS FOR GENERATING HEAT FROM GAS OR OILS, AND
UTILIZING THE SAME FOR WARMING BUILDINGS."
My Invention relates, first, to an apparatus where combustion is required to be
generated from gas or oils to heat air or liquids for warming purposes; by this
arrangement, which I hereby show and describe as illuminating heaters, is by
means of one chamber being inverted within the other, forming a double chamber
or jacket casing, made square, round, plain, or corroguated, of glass or other metallic
metal, as may be required, into which the gas or oils is supplied from the main or
tank by means of pipe coil or tubes down the outer or inside chamber to where the
stock or discs is fixed and fitted to receive the said gas or oils for ignition, the
air being so regulated by means of a wire mesh W so as to admit the exact portions
for perfecting combustion; immediately that is produced both gas and air becomes
heated to a high temperature, causing a steady tensive action at the point of collide
with the air and gaseous carbon, these being properly protected from all outward
disturbing influences does assist in sustaining in uniformity all the inflammable
malgum until absorbed into a powerful cream coloured illuminating flame. The
conical burner is a manipulation of small jets arranged at such angles as to perfect
a clean combustion. Figure one represents a complete burner; first, shows the
outside case, jacket, or chamber A; second, the inverted chamber or chimney B;
third, the air inlet and fumes outlet C, D; fourth, the supply main or coil E; fifth,
disc or burner F; sixth, the door G. Fig. 2 shows the vertical section of A. chamber,
B chamber, C inlet, D outlet, E gas coil, F burner, G door, H shows C section.
Fig. 3 shows the action Z of burner fed from the bottom. Fig. 4 represents a conical
burner charged with radiating substances, as shown in section L Figure five
shows an arrangement of chambers whereby all heat as it ascends may be utilized.
Having thus described the nature of the said Invention and the manner in which
it may be carried into effect, I wish it to be understood that I do not confine in yself
to the exact details of construction as herein described, reserving the right to
modify the same, but what I claim as my Invention and desire to be secured by
the herein before in part recited Letters Patent is the super heating of air and
gascous carbon, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, of the accompanying Drawings;
secondly, the construction of a double chamber, coils, and radiating substances.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Defty, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this 21 day of April, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty two.
