Title: Hot water heater and steam generator

Abstract

This patent describes a boiler comprising a housing having a top provided with a gas outlet, bottom, left and right sides and a front and back, the housing containing a manifold substantially parallel to the top, bottom and side walls, two sets of tubes, each set comprising tubes, one set joining the upper manifold on the left and the other set joining the upper manifold on the right, the tubes of each set rising upwardly along their respective side wall, crossing the housing to the opposite side wall, rising adjacent the opposite side wall, re-crossing the housing to their respective side wall, rising therealong and eventually joining the upper manifold. The improvement described here which comprises a jacketed chamber adjacent the bottom of the housing and substantially parallel to the manifold, the lower ends of the two set of tubes communicating with the jacket, the jacketed chamber being provided with at least one opening for passage of a hot gas into the next of the superposed chambers, the means for introducing water into the boiler introducing such water into the interior of the jacket from which it flows upwardly through the tubes, and a fuel burner positioned at least partlymore » inside the housing so as to discharge hot combustion gas into the jacketed chamber, whereby upon burning fuel within the jacketed chamber the hot combustion gas rises through the chambers heating the water in the tube.« less
