Improvements in Means and Apparatus for Heating and Ventilating
Rooms, Passages, Public Buildings, and other Places.
WO HENRY JOHN ROGERS of Lavington Watford in the County of Hertford
Engineer and HENRY SOMERVILLE FEARON of 6 Great Winchester Street in
the County of London Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
་
This invention relates to improvements in means and apparatus for heating and
ventilating rooms, passages, public buildings, conservatories, etc. and consists of an
ordinary stove having applied to the back, sides, bottom and top thereof or either
of them a water chamber in which a fire is placed, the base of the said water
chamber forming a slow combustion bottom to the fire and a chimney 'being affixed
either in the top or back of the said water chamber as may be most convenient.
Leading from any convenient position in the said water chamber are pipes
connected with coils which may be placed in any part of the building to be heated
either on the same level as the stove or at a higher elevation, a cold water supply-
oistern being affixed at such an altitude as to insure a supply of water to the
various coils.
On each of the flow pipes of the said coils is placed a regulating cock so that
the heat can be regulated or shut off altogether when required.
Around the said water chamber we build a hollow flue and from any convenient
position outside the building we take atmospheric air through a tube or otherwise
and pass the said air around the heated walls of the water chamber after which we
admit the air into the room or rooms to be heated or ventilated.
If necessary coils may be placed in the flue around the hot water chambor-so
that the air can be more or less highly heated as desired.
The said water chamber can be so constructed as to generate steam in which
onse the coils will be heated by steam instead of hot water, suitable drain pipes
being led therefrom to steam traps or to convenient outlets.

Improvements in Means and Apparatus for Heating and Ventilating
Rooms, Passages, Publio Buildings, and other Places.
We HENRY JOHN ROGERS of Lavington Watford in the County of Hertford
Engineer and HENRY SOMERVILLE FEARON of 4 Great Winchester Street in
the City of London 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in means and apparatus for heating and
ventilating rooms, passages, public buildings, conservatories &c., and consists of

page_text: an ordinary stove A baving applied to the back, sides, bottom and top thereof or
either of them a water chamber B in which a fire is placed the base of the said
water chamber & forming a slow combustion bottom to the fire and a chimney a¹
being affixed either in the top or back of the said water chamber as may be most
convenient.
Leading from any convenient position in the said water chamber B are pipes CC
connected with coils D which may be placed in any part of the building to be
heated either on the same level as the stove or at a higher elevation, a cold water
supply cistern being affixed at such an altitude as to insure a supply of water to
the various coils. On each of the flow pipes of the said coils is placed a
regulating cock so that the heat can be regulated or shut off altogether when
required.
Around the said water chamber B we build a hollow flue E and from any
convenient position Foutside the building we take atmospheric air through a tube
or otherwise and pass the said air around the heated walls of the water chamber B
after which we admit the air into the room or rooms to be heated or ventilated by
a ventilator G or otherwise.
If necessary coils may be placed in the flue around the hot water chamber so
that the air can be more or less highly heated as desired.
The said water chamber B can be so constructed as to generate steam in which
case the coils will be heated by steam instead of hot water, suitable drain pipes
being led therefrom to steam traps or to convenient outlets.
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 formation of the water or steam chamber B as an enclosure for the fire
in an ordinary stove, fresh air being admitted to a heating chamber or hollow
flue E from which the said air passes to the room or rooms to be warmed and
2. The system by which the coils D are connected to the said water chamber B
for further lieating any part of the said building either contiguous to the stove or
distant from it.
