Description: |
Abstract:
It will be understood that the principles of my invention may be applied to boilers having their tubes and drums arranged somewhat differently from the construction shown in the drawing, although I intend also to make specific claim to said construction, and that the arrangement of the combustion- chamber may be modified to adapt the boiler for burning gas instead of coal. Within the scope of my broad claims the boiler may be adapted for use as a waste-heat boiler by reversing the flues, using the flue 12 through the mud-drum as an inlet for the hot gases and connecting the chamber with an outlet-flue leading to the chimney.
Claim:
A boiler having upper and lower drums, an upwardly-extending bank of tubes, a baffle-wall outside the lower portion of the bank, an inlet-flue and an outlet-fine for the products of combustion, one of said flues extend-lag through the lower drum and communicating with the space among the bank of tubes, and the other flue communicating with the space around the tubes by way of a passage outside said wall. |
