| "This Invention relates to certain means of economizing the heat given off by the conibustion of gas in a gas stove. This object I in part attain in stoves used for heating apartments by passing currents of fresh air, taken direct from the outer atmosphere, up heated flues or pipes, which are open at top to allow of the air when heated to flow into the apartments. The object of using these slips is to provide a means of rectifying at a small expense any damage that may arise to the panelling, the probability being that when an accident occurs thereto it will be confined to one or two slips, which may be readily replaced, instead of necessitating the insertion of a new panel, which is requisite when a single plate of non-conducting material is employed to fill a panel. The object in the use of this arrangement being to retain the heat within the casing, I employ but one current of air which is supplied in the ordinary manner to support the combustion, of the gas. The design of this flue is to prevent the sudden escape from the stove of the heated gases, which by being led along the top of the oven render the heat thereof more equable, and also to check the action of any downward draft that may be set up in the chimney. This pipe is intended to take up the waste. heat from the burner q, and transmit it to water or other liquid contained in the boiler s..",GB185200383A,1852,1 | |
