PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Heating Buildings.
RICHARD HANSOM 535 Battersea Park Road, S.W. Architect do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Pipes of any suitable material and any shape, and cylinders are formed with an
outer and inner periphery the intervening space (ie., that is the space between the
outer surface of the inner periphery and the inner surface of the outer periphery)
being filled or .used for the circulation and retention of the heating medium
whether water or other suitable liquid steam or air each or any of these mediums
being heated or produced in the usual manner that is to say either by a boiler
combined with the pipes or cylinders or by an independent boiler connected with
the pipes or cylinders or 'by any furnace, stove or such like or in some cases by
allowing the inner tube to form a combined flue and heating medium. By this
invention the amount of water, air, or steam required to be heated circulated or
produced is reduced to a minimum, the rate of circulation is increased while the
radiating surface becomes nearly doubled through the exposure of the inuer
surface of the inner periphery to the space to be warmed. At the same time it
will require less time and less fuel to heat (and to maintain at the required
temperature) the smaller body of water, steam or air. Holes will in some cases be
formed through the lower portions of both peripheries so as to allow of the heated
air in the inner one being freely expelled and proper blow off and expansion pipes
would be provided. Elbows, bends, siphons and other such like fittings would be
made and provided on the same principle and the flue pipe of any boiler or furnace
would be where necessary fitted with an outer casing containing water to equalize
the heat thrown off from such flue & prevent burning of the air thereby.

Improvements in Heating Buildings.
I, RICHARD HANSOм, of 535 Battersea Park Road, Battersea, London, S.W.
Architect 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 :-
For the purpose of making apparatus for heating by hot water more efficient and
economical; pipes cylinders and such like are formed with an outer aud inner
radiating surface between which water heated by a boiler (attached or independent)
circulates thus increasing the radiating surface, reducing the amount of water to
be heated and introducing other advantages as set forth below.
For example: A pipe 8 inches in diameter would be placed within one
say 8 inches in diameter and the ends of the intervening space sealed. The
space between the outer and inner tubes would be filled with water either by means
of the expansion pipe (marked A on drawing) or of an ordinary supply boiler.
This water would be heated by a boiler (marked B on drawing) either attached or
Price 8d.1

page_text: with ordinary flow and return pipes from an independent boiler. The drawing
shows the simplest form of the invention and it will readily be seen that while the
outer surface of the apparatus radiates heat in the usual way the inner surface
also warms air which is drawn through same either automatically or by the
provision of a short flue at one end (marked C on drawing). Where desirable the
other end (D on drawing) could communicate with the outer air.
When a moist
heat is required the lower portion of the inner surface of the apparatus would be
made to hold water which being hot would effectually moisten the air passing
through and compensate for the drying influence of the outer surface.
Instead of water the heating medium may be steam, air, or any liquid.
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 novelty of forming hot water pipes cylinders & such like with inner
radiating surfaces, for the purpose of heating and moistening the air passing
through and ventilating the structure to be heated.
2. The novelty of reducing the amount of water in such pipes cylinders and
such like by such increase of radiating surface.
Dated this 19th day of June 1896.
