PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Heating Apparatus for Air, Water, or other Liquid.
JAMES GARVIE Jnr. 172 Fenchurch Street London E.C. Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My apparatus consists of a cylindrical or other shaped vessel which has pipes
or tubes arranged in the interior of this vessel. These pipes or tubes are preferably
placed in a vertical position and of horse shoe shape and through them the air or
liquid to be heated is made to pass. The outer shell or vessel which encloses the
heating pipes is lined with fire bricks and the vessel is in one or more pieces bolted
together with flanges. Each flange has a ring fixed to it to support the brick work
of cach portion and thus the casing can be taken to pieces and free access to the
heating pipes can be obtained without any of the brick work being taken down.
My invention relates more particularly to the system of supporting the brick
work of the casing on rings and in sections so that each section can be taken apart
when required.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Heating Apparatus for Air, Water, or other Liquid.
1 JAMES GARVIE Junior of 172 Fenchurch Street in the City of London,
Engineer 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 :-
My invention consists of an apparatus for heating air, water, or other liquids.
To accomplish my object I construct a cylindrical or other shaped vessel, and I
arrange pipes or tubes in the interior of this vessel. Through these pipes or tubes
are caused to pass the air, water or other liquid. In the accompanying drawing I
have shewn a vessel or heater suitable for the purpose.
This vessel is used as an air heater and is constructed of cast or wrought iron.
The outer casing is lined with fire-brick, and there is also a fire-brick wall F
supported on a girder G which is fixed to the sides of the cylinder or casing and
divides the casing or cylinder into two spaces.
The casing or cylinder is in three parts A. B. C which, when in position, are
bolted together.
The air, or fluid to be heated, enters the heater at the branch H and passes
through the pipes D and is discharged through the branch I.
The heat is applied to the air tube through the flue marked E and passes in the
direction of the arrows through the air heater to the chimney.
At the points J. J. and K. K. I show a ring which is fixed on to the upper
angle iron.
This ring is made to project inwards so that it will support the brick lining in
the interior of the cylinder or casing. When the air heater has to be lined with
brick-work, these sections are built separately on the rings shown, and are in distinct
pieces, so that the heater can, when required and when repairs are wanted, be
taken to pieces and put together again with great rapidity and without disturbing
the internal lining. The joints of the rings can be made with fireclay, cement, or
other suitable material.

page_text: Having now described and ascertained my invention and the manner in which
it is to be performed, I wish it to be understood that I do not bind myself to the
exact details shown and described but what I do claim is-
In a heater for air, water, or other liquid the combination of a casing of any
suitable shape or form made in one or more sections and lined with brick or other
material, each section being supported separately with ring or plate so as to be
capable of being jointed or put together and taken apart, substantially in the
manner described.
Dhind th! WAN day of May 1901
