Improvements in Boilers and Apparatus for Heating Water
by Gas and Air.
'
I, WILLIAM HENRY STAYNES of Belgrave Gate, Leicester, in the County of
Leicester, Leather Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN BOILERS AND APPARATUS FOR HEATING WATER BY GAS AND
AIR" to be as follows:-
This Invention consists of a square or other shaped boiler of copper or other
material having one or more pipes running from the top to the bottom of the
boiler, or the pipes may be carried midway only, to allow heat or the gas jet to
rise through them from the base to the surface so as to utilize the heat which
would otherwise be lost round the sides of the boiler.
These pipes are obviously left open at either end and are securely soldered or
otherwise fastened to the boiler, so that the water cannot escape.
A suitable form of Bunsen burner is preferably employed for heating the
boiler.
:
The boiler is mounted on a suitable stand to admit the burner and to have
convenient elevation.
>
Jointed to one or more sides of the boiler are suitable flanged or other pipes
through which the water traverses after being heated and a feed pipe for cold
water suitably attached to the boiler.

I, WILLIAM HENRY STAYNES of Belgrave Gate, Leicester in the County of
Leicester, Leather Merchant 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 consists of a square or other shaped boiler of copper or other
material having one or more pipes running from the top to the bottom of the
boiler or the pipes may be carried midway only, terminating if required at the
sides of the boiler to allow heat or the gas jet to rise through them, from the base
to the surface so as to utilize the heat which would otherwise be lost round the
sides of the boiler.
These pipes are obviously left open at either end and are securely soldered or
otherwise fastened to the boiler so that the water cannot escape.
A suitable form of Bunsen burner is preferably employed for heating the boiler.
The boiler is mounted on a suitable stand to admit the burner and to have
convenient elevation.
Jointed to one or more sides of the boiler are suitable flanged or other pipes
through which the water traverses after being heated and a feed pipe for cold
water is suitably attached to the boiler.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 a side
elevation and Figure 3 a plan of this apparatus.
A is a stand or casing enclosing the vertical and ring atmospheric burners F
and G; O being the intakes for the air.
B is a boiler preferably of copper with one or more vertical conical tubes H
passing through it and resting on stand A over the burners F and G.
C is a casing placed over the boiler and resting on brackets P fixed to the
stand A.
D is the inlet for the gas and the cocks E and E! may be used for shutting the
gas off either burners when not required.
I is a baffle plate fixed inside the casing C so as to deflect and spread the
products of combustion rising through the tubes H before they escape by the
chimney J.
K is the flow pipe for the coil W (when a coil is used) and L the return; if
the coil is not fused and the boiler is required for supplying ordinary piping the
flow M and return N may be used.
The cold supply R may be communicated with the system at any convenient
point in the usual manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The complete apparatus for heating water substantially as specified.
