WH ITWELL,
PATENT FIRE-BRICK STOVE
FOR
HEATING AIR FOR BLAST FURNACES, HEATING AIRS OR GASES,
AND FOR THE
CONDENSATION of FUMES in METALLURGICAL OPERATIONS
The reasons zvhy it is exhibited are :—
ist. That it enables the air for Blast Furnaces to be heated by the combustion ot the Waste Gases of the Blast Furnace without any purification of such gases being necessary
2nd. That every portion of tne apparatus can be cleansed at anytime from the outside, without the necessity of cooling down the apparatus, as is now done in all other plant.
3rd. Its superiority to all other forms of heating apparatus, inasmuch as in these stoves the Burning Gases are compelled, between entering and leaving the stove, to traverse the whole surface of the bricks exposed; the Air Blast in its turn also passes over the identical surfaces previously heated by the gas, and absorbs from them the heat required.
4th. Its commercial importance, as, by this method, the greatest intensity of heat in the Hot Blast for Blast Furnaces may be obtained without damage to the heating material. Its construction renders it adaptable to many other purposes where the presence of fumes renders frequent cleansing necessary.
This stove is constructed of Firebrick, and consists of a series of walls enclosed in a wrought-iron casing, and is provided with cleaning doors at the top and bottom. The price varies according to the value of material and the purpose to which the system is applied, so as to insure the greatest possible economy, as follows :—
