wardly curved end portions which pass
through openings. in the tube sheets 13, so
that the tubes are free to expand and con-
tract to a considerable extent without danger
5 of straining their connections with the tube
sheet. In order to insure the retention of the
tubes in place and prevent leakage of water,
the tube sheets are provided with recessed up-
per faces, into which solder 41. is poured, the
1o solder forming an upper layer on the tube
sheet. and flowing around all of the tubes, so
as to form a tight, water proof joint.
The tubes are divided in) three banks,
one of which extends from the small com-
S5 apartment of the header 11 to* the large com-
partment of the header 10; the second ex-
tends from the large compartment of the
header 10 to the large compartment of the
header 11, and. the third extends irom the
20 large compartment of the header 11 to the
smaller and discharge compartment of the
header 10. The header 1.1 has a nipple 42
which may be connected to a suitable source
of supply, and from the smaller compart-
2 5 ment of the header 10 leads a bib cock 43
through which the hot water may be drawn
out.
The tubes are protected by a cover plate
44 which is preferably provided with a num-
30 ber 'of perforations 45 to permit the passage
of the products of combustion.
The device may, also, be employed for the
purpose of cooling water and other fluids by
packing ice around the tubes or by otherwise
35 subjecting them to the influence of low tem-
perature and forcing the liquid or fluid to be
cooled through said tubes.
I claim:-
1. In a water heater, headers having hori-
40 zontally disposed tube sheets, the upper facesof which are recessed, water tubes extending
through openings in the recessed portion of
each of said tube sheets, and fusible metal
disposed in each of the recesses and surround-
ing the end portions of the tubes. 45
2. In a water heater, a pair of spaced
headers having supporting members, a
burner section detachably connected to said
headers and forming a rigid connection with-
in the same, and tubes extending from one 50
header to the other.
3. In a water heater, the combination with
a pair of spaced headers, of a burner forming
a spacing and connecting means between the
headers, and tubes connecting the headers 55
and extending over the burner.
4. In a water heater, a pair of spaced
headers, a burner detachably connected to
the headers and serving as a connecting
means between the headers, and tubes con- 6o
nesting the headers and arranged above the
burner.
5. In a water heater, a pair of headers,
each comprising a substantially trough
shaped lower section having a dividing par- 65
tition, and an upper tube sheet detachably
connected to the lower section, supporting
feet upon the headers, a burner detachably
connected to the two headers and serving as
a rigid connecting means between them, and 7C
water tubes extending between the tube
sheets and arranged above the burner.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own, I have hereto affixed my signature
in the presence of two witnesses.
