A de ‘ ; r 4 No. 1 ft tae Thornyeroft Water-Tube Boiler. rer since the possibilities of what may be described as the pipe type of boiler were bly brought to the notice of English lo-boat builders by Mr, James Herres- fs invention, Mr. Thornycroft, the well- wn English engineer, has been more or occupied in perfecting the design of a water-tube steam generator. Of this we iblish engravings for which, as well as for the description, we are indebted to Engineer- ng, London. [he boiler consists substantially of a hori- rontal drum or separator at the top, a large umber of generating tubes, two horizontal ylinders placed in the wings of the furnace, from which the generating tubes spring, and two connecting-pipes between the sepa rator and wing cylinders. So long as there sany fire in the grate the water is con- stantly circulating through these parts, ris- ing in the generating tubes and falling in the down-comer connecting-tubes, Referring to the illustrations, Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the boiler in position in the boat, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 3 is a transverse section. The feed water is first pumped into the separator or steam collector. This is the horizontal cyl- ndrical vessel near the top of the boiler. rem this lead the two down-comers, through which flows any water in the separator to a Fig —o2 its ) JOE ~~ /, -_= Tt " / ob \ / i ° ts 4 \ ~—OORY sail ‘ — vd Doan y of each lies, when viewed in longitudinal section, in a vertical plane—that is to say, the pipes are only curved in cross section The generating tubes have to forma flue through which the products of combustion are conveyed to the chimney eight rows of holes drilled in each wing cylinder, and eight corresponding rows ia each side of the separator. As the tubes, which are of weldless steel, are expanded into the wing cylinders and separator, it is evident that the holes into which the tubes are expanded cannot be touching each other; but it is necessary that the outer rows of tubes should touch so as to form the close walls necessary to constitute an approxi mately smoke-tight flue, the gases, of course, ascending in the space batween these walls. There are In order to arrive at this end the holes are | spaced in each row their own diameter apart, any two rows thus forming a zig zag. The tubes of the two outer rows of each spot from whence they spring, so that they travel side by side, each one touching its neighbor, until they reach within a few |inches from the separator, where they have to be bent apart again in order to enter the zig zag row of holes provided for them in the separator. We thus account for four of the eight rows of holes in both wing cylinder and separator. The other four rows have ‘tubes expanded into them, but these tubes kig. 1.—Front Elevation. THE the two wing cylinders placed at the sides {are not bent so as to be brought into con of the grate. The down-comers are curved pipes contained within an extension of the casing at the back of the boiler. The nor mal level of the water 1s about half-way up the separator, although considerable latitude may be allowed in this respect. From the wing cylinders the water rises in the gener ating tubes to the separator, a greater or less propottion, according to the extent of the re and wolurme of feed, becoming, in its issage, converted into steam. In order it the separator may properly perform its functions it is necessary that it should not be ject to the heat of the furnace, and this t to a great extent governs the shape of generating tubes. Fig. 3 shows the irse they take in their passage from the ving cylinders tothe separator. The greater imber are arranged as shown in continuous \| lines, those in partially dotted lines being y the two groups placed at each end, and vhich are dent differently to the rest for the irpose of protecting the ends of the sing, as will be explained later. It will be 0, then, that the generating tubes spring n the wing cylinders. Thence they curve vard over the furnace until the inner w of tubes of each side touch eaca other. ie tubes then bend back avain, and are ved round so that they ultimately enter separator at tha upper part. As all the es of the two inner rows touch each ler, it will be evident that they form a ntinuous arch over the furnace, and the *parator being above this, it naturally is ded from the direct radiant heat of fire order, however, more effectually to pro- the separator, it bas on its underside a affie compo-ed of asbestos. Having indicated the course of the water Ss It circulates in the boiler, it will be con- ‘Dient to leave the subject for the present order to describe the course of the fur- ace gases and the products of combustion n order to do this it is necessary to go m>re ; lly into the arrangement of the generating tubes. As may be seen by Fig. 2, the axis i tact, but follow the course of the flue, the gases playing freely all round them Ic will be evident that the number of these internal tubes is only lim ited by the possibility of their accommo- dation in entering the cylinders. They might be left out entirely without affecting the principle of the boiler, but in such a case the heating surface weuld naturally be very much curtailed. The tubes of the outer rows, which form the walls of the flue, not | touching each other until within a few inches of the wing cylinders, there must, of course, be a triangular space left between each pair of aljacent tubes, and it is through these spaces that the gases pass into the tube formed flue. The gases, having ascended | through the flue, pass out through the cor responding spaces where the tubes enter the separator and thence to the chimney. Such spaces as are not required for the passage of gases are soopped by fire c'ay or asbestos, and the outer casing, which forms a smoke jacket for the whole boiler, is protected hy sheet asbestos, &c. The eight tubes at each end of the boiler are curved in such a man- ner as to sbut in the front and back of the furnace, but the space that they cannot be made to cover is built up with fire brick. The wing cylinders are protected from the direct heat of the furnace by dwarf fire brick wal!s, which form the side boundaries of the grate. In any arrangement of pipe boiler the first point that any one who has had expe rience in such apparatus will look to will be the provision made for circulatiun, for this is the rock on which most water-tube boilers split, and is, indeed, the one great difficulty to be overcome in their construction. It is easy enougo to generate steam by pumping water into a pipe (or series of pipes) and subjecting it to the heat of afurnace. In fact, the generation of steam in such a way is all too easy, for its formation may be so rapid in that part of the pipe which is hot- test as to drive all water before it, just as cylinder are bent a few inches above the | New York, Thursday, September 29, 1887 an explosion of gunpowder will drive a projectila from a course, will represent a violent priming of the Loiler, and the forced into the separator generally provided for keeping the water from being carried into the steam pipe. When the thus driven out of the pipe, unless provision be made for supp!ying its place with fresh water, the steam in the pipe will rapidly be- come superheated, and if the fire is very fierce the pipe will get overheated and rap idly burn away. The coil boiler invented by Mr. James Herreshoff is perfect in regard to circulation so long as the boiler is being drawn upon for steam. But it has the pecul- iarity of carrying no water level, and as soon as the stop-valve is closed difficulties arise, in addition to which the quantity of water carried is so small that a trifling loss in working leads to superheating and its consequent evils. At any rate, the Herres hoff boiler has been found in England so dif ficult to manage that its use has now, we believe, been abandoned, althouch it achieved a remarkable success in its earlier days. In this country, however, a consid erable number have been solid, Another pipe boiler that attracted a good deal of attention a short time ago was that intro- duced by Mr. Loftus Perkins. It would seem from such evidence as has been made public that Mr. Perkins overcomes thé difficulty of cannon This, ot water will be water 18 “ J a 4 ey Ly 4.- Details of Bo ff: Plate for Steam Drying 4 wt $F) PEMD P79 > Bae Ht 7 y — a a ‘- == eS — Fig. 34.—Transverse Section THORNYCROFT WATER-TUBE | excessive priming to which we have referred by throttling the steam between the boiler and the engine The Thornycroft boiler, on the other hand, exists and flourishes on this priming, which is a necessity of its working. The more rapidly steam is generated in the tubes, and the more rapidly it drives the water be fore it into the separator, so much the more rapidly will the water flow down the ‘*down-comers” and rise again in the cir- culating tubes. It may be objecte! that the generation of steam will cause a downward pressure toward the wing cylinders, a3 well as an upward pressure toward the separator— in fact, that the pressure will be balanced ; but there is the difference in specific gravi ties of the mixed water and steam in the generating tubes and the solid water in the ‘*‘ down comers,”’ and this acts to promote energetic circulation. In auy case, however, the workiny of the boiler io prac tical use is what will determine its value. The dryness of the steam delivered t> the engines is a feature that requires considera tion with boilers of this class, and in order to secure this end special provision is made In Fig. 2 may be seen a serrated plate placed inside the separatur. This is bent to a half circle and lies just withia the separ ator as shown in Fig 3. Into the sem annular space thus formed between the separator and this baffle plate, the geter- ating tubes discharge their steam and water The object cf forming the edge of the haffla plate in the way shown is that the steain and water may be more effectually separated from each other. Fig. 4 shows the manner in which the notches are formed A triangular piece is first taken out and the cutis coptinued as shown by the line. The edyzes of the notches are then bent so as to project at right angles to the rest of the plate. The lines at which they are bent are shown in Fig 4 by the dotted line. Fig 5's a side view of the edge of the plate. This particular form of baffle plate is the resul of a large number of experiments, and is and Metal Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-( /°* found in practice to answer the purpose of para the water trom the steam very effectually Che water that is projected on the plate rushes toward the notched edge until it meets the upturnel part, standing out to obstruct or deflect its course It is then guided down to the lowest part r pomts of the serrations and falls to the bottom of the separator. Oa the other hand, the steam having less momentum than the water is more easily deflected from its course and passes round the small space at the top of the notches where there is no projecting guide plate, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and which is provided with saw cuts in the usual way Taking the b>iler as a whole, Mr. Thorny- croft has probably come nearer than has reached to solving a problem which has been the ideal of so many engineers and inventors during the last hundred years or so. claimed are those usually advanced in favor of the water-tubs system, but the inventor has wisely not made an effort to push these advantages to an absurd ext*nt, and so in- ever before been ‘The Iron A: ‘Trades.

This, of course, supposes an empty and cold boiler For smeller generators an apparatus has been designed to plug tubes without any one going in lo replace any of the inside tubes it would be necessary to cut out those stand ing in the way. Altogether, the introduc tion of the Thornycroft water tune boiler constitutes an important step in the history of torpedo boat construction. During the past few years the principles on which the steam machinery of these boats is designed have been more or less ad pted in larger war vessels, and progress in the same direc tion is still goin on. It is, therefore, not by } any means improbable that if the Thorny troduce counteracting disadvantages The | element of safety is a feature that the in- ventor may fairly claim bere are three cylinders, of sufficient size to cause consid erable havoc should they explode, and two of these are partially subject to the heat of the furnace. Theic diameter, however, 1s a ' croft boiler can, with advantage, replace the locomotive type in torpedo boats, as cer tainly appears probable, the matter may not end there, but that this new boiler may meet with a far more extended application. We should add here that the Spanish tor- pedo boat Ariete, built by Messrs. Thornycroft Fig, 2.—Longitudinal Section, BOILER, small enouch to enable them to be made of ample strength, so that danger fom expl sion is extremely remote With revard to the space occupied, possibly the lncomotive boiler has a trifling advantage. although on this point we have no positive data: but if additional room is required, it is put to good use in giving a large space over the fire, in which a mora complete combustion of the gases may he effucted, so leading toa higher economy of fuel and increased efficiency 4 minor advantage, althouzh one highly appreciated by thosa who attend trips cf torpedo hoats, is the absence of spark« and burning cinders that are apt to fly out of the funnels of such boats when running at hizh speed, much to the detriment of hats ind coats. With regard to economy, there are at present no data to go upon, le it would seem that Messrs Phornyer ft have only one thing to prove! On the who establish the success of the invention, and that is durability The boiler has not been long enough in use to giveany practical data n this ques ». but there has heen for the last 5 mooths a Thornsveroft boiler io a eecond-clas; torped>s hort belonving to tr B itish navy It is stated on good authoricy that this boat has been run coxstantly dur ing the time she has heen mnisei one with a view totest the general efhvency olf her steam-venerating apparatus, and tl reoorts have been of a very atisfactor nature so far.
