PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Heating Apparatus for Conservatories, Halls, or
other places.
I, SAMUEL DEARDS of Victoria Works, Harlow in the County of Essex,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of an improved heating apparatus for conservatories, halls
or other places such for example as shops, and the chief object in view is to
construct an apparatus which is of economical and simple construction and can be
readily repaired in case of leakage or otherwise.
My apparatus consists of a thin vertical water chamber composed of two plates
preferably corrugated. These plates are placed face to face and their ends are
secured in a water-tight manner to uprights with which the water does not
communicate. The space between the plates is closed at top and bottom except
for one or more 'apertures at the upper part and constitutes the water chainber.
Along the bottom of this chamber is a flue with an opening preferably in the
middle below which a lamp or one or more gas jets are placed. This fine at its
respective ends communicates with the uprights above described which are hollow
and open at the top for the escape of the products of combustion. The apertures
before mentioned in the upper part of the water chamber preferably communicate
with cups at the top of the uprights so that the vapor given off by the water may
mix with the products of combustion. These cups also serve for charging the
water chamber.
It will readily be understood that when the lamp or gas is lighted under the
water chamber the heat that passes to right and left through the bottom flue
quickly heats the water and brings it to and maintains it at practically boiling
point. The heat of the hot water is radiated through the sides of the chamber and
serves to heat the conservatory or other place where the apparatus is situated.
In some cases I arrange to heat two or more water chambers by means of the
same lamp or burner, and I can effect this by having ordinary flow and return
pipes connecting the several chambers.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Heating Apparatus for Conservatories, Halls, or
other places.
I, SAMUEL DEARD'S of Victoria Works, Harlow in the County of Essex,
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 improved heating apparatus for conservatories, halls
or other places, such for example as shops, and the chief object in view is to
construct an apparatus which is of economical and simple construction and can be
readily repaired in case of leakage or otherwise.
My apparatus consists of a thin vertical water chamber composed of two
plates preferably corrugated. These plates are placed face to face and their ends
are secured in a water tight manner to uprights with which the water does
not communicate. The space between the plates is closed at top and bottom,

page_text: except for one or more apertures at the upper part, and constitutes the
water chamber. Along the bottom of this chamber is a flue with an opening
preferably in the middle below which a lamp or one or more gas jets are
placed. This flue at its respective ends communicates with the uprights above
described which are hollow and are either open at the top for the escape of the
products of combustion, or as I prefer they are closed at the top and have a
longitudinal partition to cause the said products after reaching the top to descend
to the lower part of the uprights where suitable outlets are provided for them.
The apertures before mentioned in the upper part of the water chamber may
communicate with cups at the top of the uprights when these are arranged for the
escape of the products of combustion at the top so that the vapor given off by the
water may mix with the products of combustion. These cups may also serve for
charging the water chamber.
It will be readily understood that when the lamp or gas is lighted under the
water chamber the heat that passes to right and left through the bottom flue
quickly heats the water and brings it to and maintains it at practically boiling
point. The heat of the hot water is radiated through the sides of the chamber
and serves to heat the conservatory or other place where the apparatus is
situated.
In some cases I arrange to heat two or more water chambers by means of the
same lamp or burner and I can effect this by having ordinary flow and return pipes
connecting the several chambers.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a front elevation partly in section,
Figure 2 a vertical section on the line -x of Figure 1 and Figure 3 a plan of a
heating apparatus constructed according to my invention.
au are two corrugated plates forming the body of the water chamber; they
are closed at top and bottom by the pieces be which are soldered or otherwise
fixed thereto. dd are hollow uprights to which the ends of the plates aa are
soldered or otherwise secured in a water tight manner. The water chamber does
not communicate with these uprights. is a flue along the bottom of the water
chamber and having an opening which is shown as being in the middle but the
position of the opening is not essential. Below this opening a lamp or one or more
gas jets are placed and they are preferably enclosed by a casing g. The flue e
communicates at its respective ends with the two uprights dd. These uprights
are shown as closed at top by caps hand as being longitudinally divided from
the bottom nearly up to the top by partitions ii; they are provided with outlets kk
near the bottom and should preferably stand in pans 1. The uprights may
however be open at the top in which case the outlets kk are dispensed with and the
partitions ii are unnecessary. In the top of the water chamber is an aperture
fitted with a short pipe m through which the chamber is filled with water. The
pipe m has a cap n.
The heat and products of combustion from the lamp or gas burners pass right.
and left along the flue e and enter the hollow uprights dd. After ascending
these uprights they pass over the top of the partitions ii and descend the uprights
to the outlets kk which may if preferred communicate with a flue pipe to carry
the fumes outside the conservatory or other place where the apparatus is situated.
All condensed vapors are received in the pans 11.
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 :-
The heating apparatus constructed substantially as hereinbefore described.
