Heating-system boiler flue gas purification - with filter tank behind water tank connected to heat consumers

Flue gas purification is used in a system with hot gases introduced below water (or other liquid) level, and passed on to heat consumers with outlets on the suction side of a blower. The filter tank mounted so that the gases pass through it after leaving the main tank which contains glass wool or similar material, and its outlet is connected by a distributor to which the heat consumers are attached. The outlets of these open into a chamber joined to the suction side of a blower whose pressure side in turn linked with a gas separator, also containing filtering material and opening into atm. There may be sieve partitions between filter tank, chamber and/or gas separator. Environmental pollution reduction is combined with effective hot gas utilisation.

... 775,374. Heating air. WEATHERFOIL HEATING SYSTEMS, Ltd.. and FOWLER, L. J. Sept. 1, 1955 [Sept. 2, 1954], No. 25543/54. Class 64(3) In a space-heating apparatus in which an electrically driven fan 17 impels air over a battery of hot-water pipes 14 connected by pipes to a boiler 26, and through an outlet 16 into the space to be heated, the fan motor is controlled by two switches in parallel, one switch being controlled by a thermostatic device 36 in the hot-water circuit so as to close the fan motor circuit if the water becomes overheated after the other switch has stopped the fan. This other switch is operated manually or by a thermostatic element responsive to the temperature of the space to be heated. When the thermostatic device 36 re-starts the fan motor, it also closes a third switch which causes a damper 22 to open and allow the hot air air to escape into the space 50 instead of entering the space to be heated. The damper is moved by energizing a solenoid 24 or a stalling motor. Specification ...

... 787,565. Ventilating. ROBERTSON THAIN, Ltd. (Robertson Co., H. H.):. March 16, 1955, No. 7713/55. Class 137 Hot and cold ventilating air is supplied from risers 20, 22 to header ducts 81, 80 communicating with selected longitudinal cellular members 85, 86 forming part of the floor structure. Pressure-equalizing ducts 92, 93 extend between the cellular members of which selected ones communicate with mixing and dispersing units 50, 60 adjacent the windows. Alternatively mixing of the hot and cold air may take place as in mixers 54 remote from the outlets. The mixers include thermostatically controlled dampers. Some air may be discharged through ceiling outlets 165. Details of the apparatus form the subjects of Specifications 787,566, 787,567, 787,568, 787,569 and 787,570, and Specification 420,062 also is referred to.

HEATING OF BUILDINGS

Improvements in Hot-water Heating systems.

... 3611. Junk, J. Feb. 14. Heating buildings.-In a hot-water circulating-system, steam is introduced into a directcontact heater H, the pressure lifting the water therein past a non-return valve to the expansion tank E. Condensation then takes place in the vessel H, drawing the return water from the radiators through the pipe r<3>, whereupon the operation is repeated. The excess water due to the presence of the condensate returns to the steam boiler through the pipe d. A small condenser C is provided for the excess steam in the expansion vessel.
