Improvements in and relating to Methods of Heating Water in
connection with Kitchen Ranges, Stoves, and Register Grates.
We, JAMES HENRY LANGLANDS, of 81 Murraygate, Architect, and ANDREW
LAWSON PEACOCK, of 67 Tay Street, Plumber, both of Duudee, in the County
of Forfar, Scotland, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in and relating to methods of heating
water in connection with kitchen ranges, stoves and register grates, the object
being to heat and store a copious supply of hot water, such water being heated by
means of the ordinary kitchen or room fire.
In carrying out our invention we substitute for the usual brick or other lining,
or use in combination with such; a coil of piping or series of pipes, through which
water circulates, so arranged as to come in contact with the fire at the sides and
the back of the furnace or firegrate. In some cases such pipes are in connection
with another series in the flue. These pipes are preferably made of copper and are
designed in such a manner, that they may be readily removed from position and
cleaned if required. The coil may be formed out of one pipe suitably bent, its
extremities being respectively coupled to the flow and return pipes in connection
with the hot water tank.
Another method of forming a coil is to use a number of short lengths of piping
arranged in rows, fitting them into suitable metallic end connections.
In some
cases we place the pipes at an inclination, in order that the circulation and heating
of the water may be facilitated. Each coil is fitted with a sludge cock for the
purpose of cleaning out any sediment which may accumulate.

Improvements in and relating to Methods of Heating Water in
connection with Kitchen Ranges, Stoves, and Register Grates.
We, JAMES HENRY LANGLANDS, of 81 Murraygate, Architect, and ANDREW
LAWSON PEACOCK, of 67 Tay Street, Plumber, both of Dundee, in the County of
Forfar, Scotland, 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 relates to improvements in and relating to methods of heating
water in connection with kitchen ranges, stoves and register grates, the object being
to heat and store a copious supply of hot water, such water being heated by means
of the ordinary kitchen or room fire.
And in order that our said invention and the manner of performing or carrying
the same into effect or practice may be properly understood, we have hereunto

page_text: appended two explanatory sheets of drawings in which the same reference
numerals are used to indicate corresponding parts in all the figures where
shown.
Figure 1. (Sheet 1.) is a front elevation of a range showing a part broken
away in order that the disposition of the heating pipes may be more fully
illustrated.
Figures 2. and 3. (Sheet 2.) illustrate in isometric projection two modifications
of the heating pipes.
.
In carrying out our invention we substitute for the usual brick or other lining,
or use in combination with such a coil of piping or series of pipes 10, through
which water circulates, so arranged as to come in contact with the fire at the sides
and back of the furnace or fire grate 11. In some cases such pipes are in connection
with another series in the flue 12. These pipes are preferably made of copper and
are designed in such a manner, that they may be readily removed from position
and cleaned, if required; 13. and 14. (Figure 3.) being couplings for that purpose.
The coil may be formed of one pipe suitably bent, as in Figure 2; its extremities
being respectively coupled to the flow 15. and return pipes 16. in connection with
the hot water tank, which is not shown on the drawings. 17. is a branch to the
scouring or sludge cock.
Another method of forming a coil is to use a number of short lengths of piping
arranged in rows, fitting them into suitable metallic connections. In some cases
we place the pipes at an inclination, in order that the circulation and heating of
the water may be facilitated. Each coil is fitted with a sludge or scouring cock
for the purpose of cleaning out any sediment which may accumulate.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
(1.) The combination of the improved heating coil (Figure 2.), arranged to come
in contact with the fire at the sides and back of the furnace or firegrate, with a
kitchen range, stove or register grate, substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore set forth.
(2.) The combination of the improved heating coil (Figure 3.), arranged to come
in contact with the fire at the sides and back of the furnace or firegrate, with a
kitchen range, stove or register grate, substantially as and for the purposes
herein before set forth.
