Improvements in Heating Apparatus for Buildings and the like.
I, EMILE ROYER, of 56, Rue de la Victoire, Paris, in the Republic of France,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved heating apparatus.
The invention consists in the arrangement of cylinders or tubes, which are
preferably vertical, between which circulation of steam takes place; this arrange-
inent enables a large heating surface to be obtained with a small volume.
In order that my invention may be readily and clearly understood, I have repre-
sented in the accompanying drawing, but by way of example only, two types of
the arrangement which forms the subject of such invention.
In this drawing;
Figure 1 is a vertical section of my apparatus as a whole, adapted for the heat-
ing of rooms or the like, this section being taken on the line 1, 2, of Figure 2.
Figure 2 is a horizontal section taken upon the line 3-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a vertical section, on the line 5-6 of Figure 4 showing a form of
my apparatus adapted for the heating of dwelling houses, barracks, hospitals,
hotels or the like.
Figure 4 is a horizontal section taken upon the line 7-8 of Figure 3.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the
drawing.
My apparatus consists, in principle, of a vessel a, of cylindrical or other form,
in which are grouped, in any suitable manner, metal tubes 6 to any desired num-
ber, attached at top and bottom to the top and bottom respectively of the vessel a,
which is in communication by means of tubes c with a receptacle or boiler d.
In this boiler d is stored a suitable quantity of water heated and vaporised by
means of any suitable source of heat, as by a row or crown of gas jets e for example.
The boiler d is provided at its upper portion with a valve f permitting of the
escape of the steam if the pressure becomes too great.
The source of heat e may be arranged in a casing 9 enabling the discharge of
the products of combustion through a channel h into a chimney or the open air.
The operation of the apparatus is as follows:

and
The steam produced within the vessel d passes through the conduits
circulates in the vessel a between the tubes b. The condensation water returns
to the generator..
During its circulation between the tubes b this steant heats by radiation the
air in contact with the outside of the vessel a, whilst the air which circulates
within the tubes, b, as indicated by the arrows, is also heated.
In this manner a very large heating surface indeed is obtained with the arrange-
ment which has just been described.
In the arrangement represented in Figures 3 and 4 the steam enters the
apparatus through a collector with which any number of apparatus may be
connected

through a conduit & leading to a second collector 7.

It should be understood that within the tubes & may be arranged, in any suit-
able manner, aromatic substance for saturating the air during its passage through
.these tubes.
I may also vary the forms, dimensions, details of construction and materials
employed in the construction of my apparatus without thereby in any affecting
the essence of my invention.

Improvements in Heating Apparatus for Buildings and the like.
I, EMILE ROYER, of 56, Rue de la Victoire, Paris, in the Republic of France,
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 relates to an improved heating apparatus.
The invention consists in the arrangement of cylinders or tubes, which are
preferably vertical between which circulation of steam takes place; this arrange-
ment enables a large heating surface to be obtained with a small volume.
In order that my invention may be readily and clearly understood, I have repre-
sented in the drawing accompanying my Provisional Application, but by way of
example only, two types of the arrangement which forms the subject of such
invention.
In the said drawing:
Figure 1 is a vertical section of my apparatus as a whole, adapted for the heat-
ing of rooms or the like, this section being taken on the line 1-2 of Figure 2.
Figure 2 is a horizontal section taken upon the line 3-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a vertical section, on the line 5-6 of Figure 4 showing a form of
my apparatus adapted for the heating of dwelling houses, barracks, hospitals,
hotels or the like.
Figure 4 is a horizontal section taken upon the line 7-8 of Figure 3.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the
drawing.
My apparatus consists, in principle, of a vessel a, of cylindrical or other form,
in which are grouped, in any suitable manner, metal tubes 6 to any desired num-
ber, attached at the top and bottom to the top and bottom respectively of the vessel a,
which is in communication by means of tubes c with a receptacle or boiler d.
In this boiler d is stored a suitable quantity of water heated and vaporised by
means of any suitable source of heat, as by a row or crown of gas jets e for example.
The boiler is provided at its upper portion with a valve f permitting steam to
escape if the pressure becomes too great.
The source of heat e may be so enclosed in a casing 9, so that the discharge of
the products of combustion may take place through a channel 7 into a chimney
or the open air.
The operation of the apparatus is as follows:
The steam produced within the vessel d passes through the conduits c and

page_text: circulates in the vessel a between the tubes b. The condensation water returns
to the generator.
During its circulation between the tubes 6 th's steam heats by radiation the
air in contact with the outside of the vessel a, whilst the air which circulates
within the tubes b, as indicated by the arrows, is also heated.
In this manner a very large heating surface indeed is obtained with the arrange-
ment which has just been described.
In the arrangement represented in Figures 3 and 4 the steam enters the
apparatus through a collector & with which any number of apparatus may be
connected.
This steam, after its circulation between the tubes b, issues from the vessel a
through a conduit & leading to a second collector 7.
It should be understood that within the tubes b may be arranged, in any suit-
able manner, aromatic substances for saturating the air during its passage through
these tubes.
I may also vary the forms, dimensions, details of construction and materials
employed in the construction of my apparatus without thereby in any way affecting
the essence of my invention.
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 heating appliance characterised by the arrangement and combination of
tubes vertically grouped in any suitable manner and between which takes place
a circulation of steam, in such a manner as to obtain a large heating surface for
heating the air circulating in these tubes and externally surrounding the apparatus,
substantially as above described with reference to the drawing, and for the purpose
specified.
