PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Heating of Hot Water, Steam,
and other Boilers, and the Prevention and Utilization of what
otherwise would be Waste Heat therefrom.
I, RICHARD Paul Fisher of Claughton Villa, Brincliffe Edge Sheffield in
the County of York, Manager and Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
To heat water in such a way and by such means as to utilize what otherwise
would be waste heat and so economise the heat products and do the heating more
efficiently and the way in which I propose to accomplish the same is as follows:-
I take an ordinary saddle or other boiler irrespective of its configuration and I
place over the same one or more boilers each larger than the other so as to allow
sufficient flue space between each. The said boilers can either be connected in
common so as to form one compound boiler or as seperate heaters for seperate
services.
It will be seen that in the case of say three boilers I can by allowing the heated
gasses to pass along one or more of the flues and then carrying them into the
chimney use what would otherwise be flue space for heating air for any purpose
required.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Heating of Hot Water, Steam,
and other Boilers, and the Prevention and Utilization of what
otherwise would be Waste Heat therefrom.
I, RICHARD PAUL FISHER of Claughton Villa, Brincliffe Edge Sheffield in
the County of York Manager and Engineer 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:-
To heat water in such a way and by such means as to utilize what otherwise
would be waste heat and so economise the heat products and do the heating more
efficiently, and the way in which I propose to accomplish the same is as follows:-
I take an ordinary saddle or other boiler irrespective of its configuration and I
place over the same one or more boilers each larger than the other as shown Fig. 5
so as to allow sufficient flue space between each. The said boilers can either be
connected in common as shown Fig. 1. 2. and 3 so as to form one compound boiler
or as seperate heaters for seperate services when the connecting pipe as shown
at A Fig. 1 is not required.
It will be seen that, in the case of say three boilers, I can by allowing the heated
gases to pass along one or more of the flues as shewn by Fig. 5 and in section
at Fig. 1. 2. 4 and 6 heat water with gases which would otherwise be wasted.
The boilers I use and superimpose as shewn at Fig. 5 in the double form are of
the ordinary saddle type and each boiler may if I think fit or deem necessary be
used and worked independently of each other, by having seperate flow and return
pipes instead of being coupled together as shewn at (a).`
The front plate (e) carrying doors is shewn in cross sections at Fig. 1. 2. 4 and 6
and half front elevation at Fig. 3.
In Fig. 2. 5, and 6 the midfeather on outside of inner boiler is shewn at (d).

page_text: The boilers are fixed in and on brickwork as shown in Fig. 1. 2. 3. 4. and 6 at f;
or if necessary a metal casing or stand can be substituted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. The superimposing one or more boilers in vertical succession one over the
other so as to form successive flues for each other and in that way absorb. heat
which would otherwise be wasted.
2nd. The seperate use of each boiler so superimposed fitted with seperate supply
and service complete.
3rd. The combined use of the whole nest of boilers to work one or more sections
as may be deemed necessary.
