HOT AIR FURNACE Filed Nov. 1o, .1930
Patented .lune 6, 1933 PATENT FFICE CHARLES I. MURDOCK, OF ANN .AR-BOR, MICHIGAN HOT AIR FUR-NACE Application filed November 1G, 1930. Serial No. 494,720.
The invention relates to furnaces, particularly designed for hot air heating and consists in the novel construction as hereinafter set forth.
5 In the drawing:
Figure l is a perspective View of the heater;
Figure 2 is a vertical cross section thereof.
While my improved construction may be l0 used with various fuels, it is more particularly designed for use with liquid or gaseous fuels. In detail, A is a cylindrical base portion forming the fire pot and adapted to receive the oil or gas burner. B is a wedge shaped top section extending upwardfrom the section A, being the full diameter thereof from front to rear but tapering to an apex at its upper end. C are down\ vai'dly tapering flue sections arranged in series upon opposite sides of the wedge shaped section B, being spaced from each other to form air passages therebetween. TheY lower ends of the sections C are connected to a flue box D which has a horizontal partition E extending from its rear end to near the forward end. The flues C at their upper ends are connected by nipples F with telescopically engaging nipples G projecting from the wedge shaped section B. Thus as indicated by the arrows in Figure l, the heated products of combustion ascending through the wedge shaped section will pass through the nipples G and F into the iiues C then downward to the box D and around the partition E to the rear. rlhe rear end of each box D is connected by a flue H with a vertical drum l which is connected to the chimney. There is also a direct draft connection d between the upper portion of the wedge shaped chamber B and the drum I with a controlling damper K therein.
All of the elements described are preferably formed of sheet metal with welded joints so as to be gas tight. The lower ends of the flue C are also welded to the box D and the nipples F are welded to the inclined side of the section C near they upper end thereof, so as to extend substantially perpendicular thereto. The nipples G are welded to the wedge shaped section B and are adapted to telescope in the nipples F .i
chanically connected through a brace bar L welded thereto. Thus the complete structure is formed of three separable units which may be quickly engaged with each other by telescoping the nipples F with the nipples G. The flue box D is supported on a base frame M, the legs N dependingtherefrom, and the whole structure is enclosed by a jacket as indicated at O. The sections A and B are provided with the forwardly extending door frames P and Q, the latter' forming the fire door opening and the former a draft opening which also gives access to the ash pit where solid fuel is used. These frames are preferably of rectangular cross section and they extend forward to theV jacket O.
lith the construction as described, the hot gaseous products of combustion rising from. the section A will impinge against the inclined walls of the wedge shaped section B thereby rendering such walls much more effective as Vheating surfaces. The gases passing into the flue section C must be drawn downward by the draft'of the chimneyexcepting when the `lire is first started, atp which time direct draft connection is established through the conduit J. It will also be noted that the tapering vform of thel section B and of the iiue section C will produce a progressively decreasing cross sectional area for the gases as the heat is `abstracted therefrom. vAll of the joints are welded with the exception of those between the nipples F and G which telescope to such an extent as to avoid danger of leakage. The fiue boxes B may be provided with clean-out extensions R arranged above the partitions E and extending to the jacket O, being provided with detachable caps S.
