CHARLES KETTEL, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIG1\TOR OF ONE-FOURTH TO JOSEPH A. SKILLMAN, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

HOT-WATER BOILER.

Application filed July 29, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES KETTEL, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hot-Water Boilers, of which the following is .a specification.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide an improved hot water heating system whereby when a maximum amount of heat energy has been attained, the surplus thereof is held or stored adjacent the boiler.

Another object of this invention is to inclose the boiler of a hot water heating system with a sectional body of heat storing material.

A further object of this invention is to connect an ordinary water heater tank with a hot water heating plant so that the said water heater can be used to assist in producing a rapid heating circulation in the system.

Other and further objects will appear in the specification, and be specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings exemplifying the invention, and in which,

Figure l is a side elevation, partly in section of this improved heating system. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line IIII of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on the line IIIIII of Fig. 1.

This improved heating system is designed so as to retain the heating energy in the 7 system for a long period in which event the burner which is adapted to heat the water of the system can be turned low after a desired amount of heat has been attained in the system.

Referring to the drawings, the boiler E is mounted above the combustion chamber D, said boiler being mounted on a plate 1 which comprises the top of the combustion chamber, said plate having a concave upper surface 2 which is engaged by a portion of the cylindrical wall of the boiler. Mounted in said combustion chamber D is a gas burner T, said burner being adapted to receive fuel from the supply pipe 1. Leading from'the top of the boiler is a pair of supply pipes F, said pipes being for the purpose of supplying the radiators (not shown). Leading from each end of said boiler is a return Specification of Letters Patent.

pipe G, said return pipes being connected with the aforesaid (not shown) radiators.

Formed in the bottom 3 of the combustion chamber D is a plurality of air inlet openings, said openings being in communication with an air chamber 5 which is formed beneath said bottom 8, said air chamber 5 having communication with the outside air and is for the purpose of aiding combustion in the chamber D. Mounted in one of the return pipes G is a cross fitting J, and connected to one branch of said cross J is a drain cock K, and connected to another branch of said cross is a 'hot water supply pipe'C which leads from ahot water tank B, said pipe C being supplied with a cutoff cock L. i

Leading from the top of'the tank Bv is' a discharge pipe 'V. This tank Bis connected with an instantaneous'water heater 6, fuel beingsupplied to said heater through the fuel pipe P and for supplying water to the tank B is a supply pipe U which leads from the water main.

Mounted against and inclosing the boiler E and combustion chamber D are a plurality of sections A which are adapted to be mounted together and are held in position by the angle irons M. Each of the sections A are separably constructed and are filled with a heat retaining element such as sand which is designated by the numeral R and y when said sections are mounted together, the walls S thereof abut.

Secured to each of the front sections A is a door H, said door providing for access to the combustion chamber D.

An important feature in this invention is in connecting the instantaneous heater 6 with the piping'system as only a short while is needed to supply heat to the radiators when getting the system into a heated condition.

The operation is as follows: When it is desired to put the radiators of this improved system in a heating condition, the piping system and radiators of course being emptied, the burner of the instantaneous heater 6 is started and the cock L is opened and the 'hot water is allowed to fill the pipes G, F, boiler E and radiators. The proper amount of water required is indicated by the altitude gage N which is connected to one of the pipes F. From the aforesaid it is therefore seen that in a very short While the system can be caused to perform a heat giving service. After the piping system and parts relating thereto have been filled With the hot' 7 Water supplied by the instantaneous heater 6, the supply is cut oii by manipulating the cock L; at the same time it Will of course be necessary to stop the fuel supply to the burner of the instantaneous heater 6, then the burner T is started, the further heating of the Water in the boiler E being then carried on by said burner. While the burner T is supplying heat to the boiler E, the boiler in turn is giving oft heat which in turn Will be taken up by the heat retaining element which is contained in each of the sections A.

The thermometer O which is connected to one of the supply pipes F will give the temperature of Water contained in the system.

What I claim is:

1. In a hot Water heating system, a horizontally arranged boiler, a plurality of sectional compartments adapted to be mounted in abutting relation to each other over said boiler, thereby inclosing the circular wall and end Walls of said boiler, each OfSitltl compartments having a heat storing element contained therein.

2. In a hot Water heating system, a boiler, a combustion chamber for said boiler, a plurality of sectional compartments adapted to have their adjacent Walls abut and envelop said boiler and said combustion chamber, means for mounting said compartments together, said compartments adapted to be filled with a combined heat receiving and restoring element.

3. In a hot Water heating system, a boiler, a combustion chamber .for said boiler, inlet and outlet pipes leading to and from said boiler, a plurality of sectional compartments adapted to fit over and envelop said boiler, combustion chamber and portions of said pipes, means for clamping said compartments together after said compartments have been engaged against said boiler and said combustion chamber, said compartments being filled With a heat storing element.

i. In a hot Water heating system, a horizontally arranged boiler, a combustion chamber for said boiler, a plurality of box like sectional compartments having curved surfaces formed thereon adapted to abut each other and envelop said boiler and said combustion chamber, supply pipes leading from said boiler, return pipes leading to said boiler, said sectional compartments when abutting each other adapted to on velop portions of said pipes adjacent said boiler, each of said sectional compartments being for the reception of a heat storing element.
