    Bayliss ImpU. in Consuming or Preventing Smoke <§' Heating Liquids. supplying air to chamber a, Laving a regulating valve attached to it. Spaces d, are left between the admixers for the passage of the products of combustion ; and the several rows of admixers are so arranged that the cylinders or bars composing one row stand opposite spaces in another. /, is a fence placed across the furnace to prevent the fuel 5 getting amongst the admixers; and g, is a deflector for throwing the flame downwards, and bringing it in better contact with the streams of air rising from the chamber a. Or I employ admixers and heat-retainers, fixed on the ordinary brick “fire-bridge;’ and, in lieu of the air chamber «, apertures arc provided 10 in the furnace door to admit a supply of air above the fuel. For heating liquids quicker, and with a less expenditure of fuel, than has been hitherto attainable, X place rows of heat-retainers c, from the air chamber a, to the end of the boiler, or, in ordinary furnaces, from the “ fire-bridge ” to the end of the boiler, which, being maintained at 15 a red heat by the passing flame and heated gasses, give out by radiation to the surface of the boiler a large quantity of heat, which would other¬ wise pass up the chimney and be wasted. Another improvement is to fix hollow cones, open at both ends, over and just above the bottom surface of boilers and other vessels for 20 heating liquids. They are to stand on legs, or to be otherwise fixed, so as to leave a free passage for the liquids underneath and through them. The object is to produce ascending and descending currents, for the purpose of carrying off the globules of steam from the heating surface as fast as they are formed, which will have the useful effect of accele- 25 rating the evaporation, and protecting the iron from being burnt. This Invention is represented as applied to a steam engine furnace, but it is applicable to other kinds.
