This invention relates to a submersible heater for a body of water and, particularly, to a highly portable comparatively simple and inexpensive submersible alpha heater discount for swimming pools. It's one other object and have of this invention to offer a submersible waterheater for swimming swimming pools comprising a buoyant member floatable on the surface of the Water in a pool, a flue meeting including internal and outer radially spaced axially nested and extending cylindrical flue members each having an upper finish supported on the aforementioned buoyant member so as to depend under the surface of the water with the buoyant member disposed therein, the lower ends of the inner and outer flue members being respectively open and closed to form a tortuous reverse circulate path for scorching gases flowable down the interior flue member and up the outer flue member between the latter and the interior flue member, and burner means together with blower means mounted on the buoyant member above the floor of the water for burning a suitable gas and blowing hot gases along the aforementioned stream path, thereby inflicting heat to be transferred from the surface of the outer flue member to water surrounding the latter to heat identical.
Water Alpha Heater official site of the kind aforementioned additional comprising a cylindrical water jacket radially spaced from and surrounding the aforementioned outer flue member to outline therewith a water heating chamber, the opposite ends of the water jacket both being open and the jacket being completely submerged below the floor of the water with the buoyant member disposed therein, whereby water being heated may circulate through the aforementioned heating chamber between the other open ends of the jacket. I Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of the flue meeting of a water heater, Alpha Heater official site however illustrates yet one more embodiment of the invention. Sixteen fabricated of an appropriate metallic and having axially reverse open upper and decrease ends 18 and 20, and a second or outer axially extending cylindrical flue member or tube 22 likewise fabricated of an acceptable metal and having an higher open end 24 and a closed lower finish 26 axially reverse thereto.
20 of the latter spaced axially opposite from the closed ends 26 of the outer flue member. 12 disposed therein as clearly illustrated in the drawing. 22 is repeatedly heated and the combustion gases are exhausted into the atmosphere by means of the annular exhaust opening 46 formed between the upper open ends 18 and 24 of the interior and outer flue members, respectively. Consequently, water surrounding the outer surface of the outer flue member is heated. 50 and 52, respectively, of the water jacket are open and appropriate means resembling. 54 are welded between the outer flue member and the upper finish of the water jacket to assist the latter in axially spaced relation to the buoyant member or donut 12 in order that your entire water jacket is submerged. Water jacket forty eight defines with the outer flue member 22 an annular Water heating chamber 56 by means of which water could circulate as it is heated.
48 and fins fifty four could also be eliminated if desired and as shown, whereas the heater further contains an annular plate 58 secured between the upper ends 18 and 24 of the interior and outer flue members to considerably shut the annular atmospheric exhaust opening 46, although the plate fifty eight features a plurality of circumferentially spaced exhaust openings 60 for exhaust functions. 62 are provided, every having one finish suitably supported on the plate fifty eight in communication with a respective one of the exhaust openings 60 whereas the other or Alpha Heater official site discharge end 64 of every stack extends past the sting of the buoyant member or donut 12 and below the floor of the water for discharge of the combustion gases and merchandise below water level. 32 shouldn't lead to toxic, irritant-causing or otherwise objectionable merchandise of combustion for discharge into the swimming pool water and, hence, one cause for the preference for utilizing natural or propane gas because the gas. 22 with a plurality of axially extending circumferentially spaced fin members sixty six which increase the area of contact of the outer flue member with the water, thereby enhancing heat transfer to the latter.
Sixty six may be utilized in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 which incorporates the water jacket forty eight and as indicated in dotted traces in Figure 3, or in the embodiment of Figure 2 for the purpose aforementioned. PORTABLE SUBMERSIBLE SWIMMING POOL alpha heater reviews Filed June 29, 1962 INVENTOR. AT/URIVE 6' United States Patent 3,194,229 PORTABLE SUBMERSIBLE SWIMMING POOL alpha heater portable Donald R. Borgeson, 18301 Riverside Drive, Birmingham, Mich. Fiied June 29, 1962, Ser. No. 206,363 1 Claim. Cl. 126360) This invention pertains to a submersible alpha heater price for a body of water and, particularly, to a extremely portable relatively simple and inexpensive submersible alpha heater portable for swimming swimming pools. It has heretofore been acknowledged as being desirable to equip outdoor swimming swimming pools, notably in more northern climes, with heating methods for heating the pool water in the interest of extending the swimming season to the utmost extent attainable and to in any other case contribute generally to swimming comfort through the season comparable to on cool evenings and even in the course of the day when unseasonably cool ambient temperatures'could occur.
