Specification Accepted, 15th Jan., 1889
I JOSEPH WINTERFLOOD of 346 Euston Road London, in the County of Middlesex
Metal Worker 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 improvement relates to the construction of a Water heating Apparatus wherein
the water is heated in passing through the products of combustion. I construct a
cylindrical metal body about 12 inches diameter, and, 24 inches high to form the
outside case. I construct an inner cylinder about 8 inches diameter, and, 24 inches
high, the bottom end being coned out to the size of the outer cylinder and then
connected thereto with a water tight joint. I now construct an intermediate double
cylinder about 10 inches diameter, and, 24 inches high (the inner cylinder being
1 inch shorter than the outer cylinder and covered with an hollowed plate) about
6 inches from the top I pierce a row of fine holes to form a spray inside and outside
the double cylinder, this spray playing on the inner and outer cylinders prevents
them getting burnt. Beneath the whole of this arrangement I place a reservoir with
a number of "Brays" Burners inserted to form the heating power.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and carried into practical
effect I will now proceed more particularly to describe the same, reference being had
to the drawings, figures, and letters thereon.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the apparatus full size.
A. is the outer cylinder.
B. is the inner cylinder.

I will now explain the action and working of my improved water heater.
Referring to the letters of the drawing when the operator lets on the water from
the supply source it passes through the hole in the cover as indicated by the letter J.
it then fills the double cylinder C. the pressure of the water upon the spray holes E
and F forces it to cover the inner and outer cylinders A & B., flowing down the
cylinders A. & B. the water is gathered at the bottom and so passes out through the
outlet H. It will readily be seen that the products of combustion passing up
the inner cylinder B. is deflected by the hollowed plate D. and passes down between
the inner and intermediate double cylinders B & C and then up between the double
and outer cylinders C & A. and so passes out through the perforated cover I. the
cylinders being so arranged that the waste products of combustion passing out through
the perforated cover are comparatively cold.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I wish it to be understood
that my invention relates to the constructing of the water heating apparatus as herein
described and illustrated, and 1 declare that what I claim is :-
First. In an apparatus for heating water, the intermediate double cylinder C. with
its spray holes, E & F. substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth and
illustrated.
Second. The inner and outer cylinders A. & B. in combination with the intermediate
double cylinder C. with its sprays holes E. & F, substantially as and for the purposes
herein set forth and illustrated.
Third. The perforated cover I. with the hole J. in combination with the inner and
outer cylinders A. & B. and the intermediate double cylinder, C. with its spray
holes E & F. substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth and illustrated.
