Hot Water Warming and Heating Stoves..
LUKE AUSTIN SCOTT, Engineer, of Woodbridge in the County of Suffolk, do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-..
The object of my invention being to economize the heat. obtained from a flame of
Oil or Gas when applied to Stoves for warming Rooms or heating Conservatories,.
Green-houses or other enclosed spaces requiring warmth or heat: in carrying out
my invention I make use of ordinary Gas burners, or of the kind known as Bunsen
burners, or of lamps burning oil, petroleum or other combustible fluid, enclosing 'the
flame of the said burners or lamps C within a metallic casing A, B which may be
cylindrical, oval, square or of other form desired, plain on surface, corrugated or
ornamented in any way whatever, set vertically and having fixed in its interior an
arrangement of two or more horizontally placed chambers e, g, formed of sheet metal,
(preferably of copper) and communicating one to the other by means of six, eight, or
more metal tubes f, placed vertically; the cover chamber e, having an opening or
inlet d, to receive the flame from the lamp or burner C, and the upper chamber
outlet or flue i, to carry off the products of combustion, the lamp or burner C, being
arranged to slide or be placed under the opening of the lower chamber e, so that the
flame shall play into it and heat it-the products of combustion then passing from
this chamber through the vertical tubes f, to the second chamber g, and from thence
to a third chamber if used, or direct to an outlet flue i, projecting through the outer
casing of the Stove; so that in using the Stove, the whole of the spaces of the
interior not occupied by the heating chambers and tubes being filled with water h, the
heat of the flame is communicated directly from the chambers and tubes to the water
and from it to the exterior casing A, for radiation into the surrounding air.
an
To provide for filling the stove with water, a funnel k preferably of Vase form,
fitted with a moveable cover is secured upon the top of the Stove and an outlet air
opening m, with plug or cap is also fixed upon the top; the vase or funnel is made of
a capacity sufficient to permit of the expansion of the water in the Stove and avoid
overflow when it is heated, while the cover of the vase prevents the escape of steam
or vapour unless when required. A sight hole or tube, o, reaching to the base of the
lower heating chamber and its outer end covered with glass, talc, or other suitable
transparent medium, is so placed as to enable the height of heating flame to be
inspected. A valve tap or cock n, is fixed upon the outer cylinder to enable the
whole or a part of the heated water therein to be drawn off when required.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Hot Water Warming and Heating Stoves.
I, LUKE AUSTIN SCOTT, Engineer of Woodbridge in the County of Suffolk 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 relates to improvements in the means of economizing heat as obtained
from flames of oil or gas when applied to Stoves for warming rooms, heating
Conservatories Green-houses or other enclosed spaces.
In carrying out my Invention I make use of ordinary gas-burners or of the kind
known as Bunsen burners, or of lamps burning oil, petroleum or other combustible
fluids.

page_text: Referring to the drawings left with the Provisional Specification, C, represents the
lamp or other burner, enclosed within a metallic casing A. B, which casing may be
cylindrical, oval, square, or of any other form desired, with plain surfaces, or
corrugated or ornamented in any way whatever, set vertically and having in its
interior an arrangement of two or more horizontally placed chambers e, g, formed of
sheet metal and preferably of copper, and communicating one to the other with six,
eight or more metallic tubes f,f, placed vertically the lower chamber e, having an
opening or inlet d, to receive the flame from the lamp or burner C, and the upper
chamber 9, an outlet or flue i, to carry off the products of combustion ;-the lamp or
burner C, being arranged to slide or be placed under the opening of the lower
chamber e, so that the flame shall play into it and heat it ;-the products of com-
bustion then passing from this chamber e, through the vertical tubes f, f, to the
second chamber g, and from thence to a third chamber if used, or direct to an outlet
flue, projecting through the outer casing of the Stove ;-the whole of the spaces of
the interior not occupied by the heating chambers and tubes, being filled with water h,
the heat of the flame is communicated directly from the chambers e and g and the
tubes ff, to the water and thence to the exterior casing A, for radiation into the
surrounding air.
To provide for filling the stove with water, a funnel k, preferably of vase form,
fitted with a moveable cover is secured upon the top of the stove and an outlet air
opening m, with plug or cap is also fixed upon the top of the stove.
The vase or funnel is made of a capacity sufficient to admit of the expansion of the
water in the stove and avoid overflow when it is heated, while the cover of the vase
prevents the escape of steam or vapour unless when required.
A sight hole or tube o, reaching from the outside of casing A, to the base of the
lower heating chamber e, or its inlet d, and its outer end covered with glass, tale or
other suitable transparent medium, is so placed as to enable the height of heating
flame to be inspected.
A valve, tap or cock n, is fixed upon the outer cylinder to enable the whole or a
part of the heated water contained in the stove to be drawn off when required.
The Stoves of the construction herein described may be made of any varying form
or design and of any convenient size for use either alone or in conjunction with pipes,
cylinders or radiators to give more surface for the radiation of the heat generated in
the stove and thence carried on by the circulation of the heated water, as is well
understood.
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 Hot-water Stove with two or more horizontal heating chambers and the several
connecting tubes immersed in and entirely surrounded by water, substantially as
herein described and shewn on the drawings.
