THE HORTICULTURAL ADVERTISER. 



Jordan's Patent Wrought Iron Water Healer. 



A NEW PRINCIPLE. 



Tlie bttilers are constructed of horizontal jn^jes of tlie same inside dianieicr a.s those llial form 

 the heating jiipes, therehy producing a very rapid circulation of the water. 



LKNOTll SEVK.N FKET. DESCRIPTION. 



No. 1 shows a side view of one-half section, with U steam 

 propeller. Also shows sections of chimney, ash-pit, and brick 

 arch around the boiler, with downward tlraft to chimney. 



No. 2 shows end view, with rear end closed with pipes; ash- 

 pit below and brick arch above. 



No. 3 shows boiler before it is set in the brick, with a few 

 pipes broken away, to show the steam generator. 



The improvements claimed are: a larger heating surface, 

 as comijared to the amount of water in the boiler; a more 

 rapid circulation ofwaterbythe use of steam generator to 

 move the water ; a larger tire-hole, so that soft coal can be 

 used and not obstruct the draft; and cheapness. 



Extracts from the Patent, No. 173,300, Dated 

 February 8th, 1876. 



By making the pipes throughout the whole length of the 

 boiler and heater of the same interior diameter there is an 

 even flow through the pipe at all parts, and no shoulders in 

 the pipe to cause any check to the tlow. 



It is obvious that the boiler-pipes being exactly the same 

 interior size as the radiator and connecting-])ipes, a new and 

 quite valuable result is obtained, as the sinuiltaneous move- 

 ment of the water is insured through the whole series of 

 pipes at the same speed, thus preventing any eddy and dead 

 water. 



The U-formed steam water propeller, by descending into 

 the furnace and entering the water-pipe at an inclination, 

 causes a circulation in the water-pipes almost immediately 

 the fire is lighted, and before the water has time to become 

 heated in the water-pipes. The end bends of the water-pipes, which close partially the back of the 

 fire-space, receive the full blast of the products of consumption. 



TRUTHS TO BE CONSIDERED. 



If water moves rapidly into and out of the furnace it must carry off the heat rapidly into the 

 room to be heated, thereby saving the fuel. The front is of iron and can be easily removed to 

 clean out dust, &c. 



SETTING THE BOILER. 



Build foundation wall 12 inches wide, so the pipes will set about 1^ inches inside the walls, and 

 3 inches above the grate bars ; let the boiler rest on one lire brick at front and one at rear. Let 

 the rear bridge wall for the grate bars he heavy and raise above the grate bars about 10 inches to 

 one foot, and of fire brick. The Chimney should be started from the bottom of the furnace, and 

 be at least 25 feet high, and an opening at least one foot sqare.
