This invention relates to a submersible heater for a physique of water and, specifically, to a extremely portable relatively easy and inexpensive submersible heater for swimming swimming pools. It is another 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 assembly together with interior and outer radially spaced axially nested and extending cylindrical flue members each having an higher end supported on the aforementioned buoyant member in order to depend below the floor of the water with the buoyant member disposed therein, the decrease 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 inside flue member, and burner means together with blower means mounted on the buoyant member above the surface of the water for burning a suitable gas and blowing scorching gases along the aforementioned circulation path, thereby inflicting heat to be transferred from the surface of the outer flue member to water surrounding the latter to heat same.
Water heater of the type aforementioned further comprising a cylindrical water jacket radially spaced from and surrounding the aforementioned outer flue member to outline therewith a water heating chamber, the alternative ends of the water jacket each being open and the jacket being entirely submerged under the surface of the water with the buoyant member disposed therein, whereby water being heated may circulate via the aforementioned heating chamber between the alternative open ends of the jacket. I Figure three is a cross sectional view of the flue assembly of a water alpha heater price, but illustrates yet another embodiment of the invention. 16 fabricated of a suitable metal and buy alpha heater alpha heater reviews heater having axially opposite 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 appropriate steel and having an upper open finish 24 and a closed lower end 26 axially opposite thereto.
20 of the latter spaced axially opposite from the closed ends 26 of the outer flue member. 12 disposed therein as clearly illustrated within the drawing. 22 is continuously heated and the combustion gases are exhausted into the atmosphere by the annular exhaust opening forty six formed between the higher open ends 18 and 24 of the inner and outer flue members, respectively. Consequently, water surrounding the outer floor of the outer flue member is heated. 50 and 52, respectively, of the water jacket are open and appropriate means such as. Fifty four are welded between the outer flue member and the upper finish of the water jacket to help the latter in axially spaced relation to the buoyant member or donut 12 so that the complete water jacket is submerged. Water jacket forty eight defines with the outer flue member 22 an annular Water heating chamber fifty six through which water could circulate as it's heated.
48 and Alpha Heater product page fins 54 may be eradicated if desired and as shown, whereas the heater additional comprises an annular plate 58 secured between the upper ends 18 and 24 of the interior and outer flue members to substantially shut the annular atmospheric exhaust opening 46, though the plate fifty eight features a plurality of circumferentially spaced exhaust openings 60 for exhaust purposes. Sixty two are offered, each having one finish suitably supported on the plate 58 in communication with a respective one of the exhaust openings 60 while the other or discharge end 64 of every stack extends past the sting of the buoyant member or donut 12 and under the floor of the water for discharge of the combustion gases and products below water level. 32 mustn't end in toxic, irritant-inflicting or in any other case objectionable products of combustion for discharge into the swimming pool water and, therefore, one cause for the preference for utilizing natural or propane fuel because the fuel. 22 with a plurality of axially extending circumferentially spaced fin members sixty six which enhance the area of contact of the outer flue member with the water, thereby enhancing heat switch to the latter.
Sixty six may be utilized within the embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 which includes the water jacket forty eight and as indicated in dotted strains in Figure 3, or within the embodiment of Figure 2 for the purpose aforementioned. PORTABLE SUBMERSIBLE SWIMMING POOL alpha heater price Filed June 29, 1962 INVENTOR. AT/URIVE 6' United States Patent 3,194,229 PORTABLE SUBMERSIBLE SWIMMING POOL alpha heater reviews Donald R. Borgeson, 18301 Riverside Drive, Birmingham, Mich. Fiied June 29, 1962, Ser. No. 206,363 1 Claim. Cl. 126360) This invention relates to a submersible Alpha Heater product page for a physique of water and, specifically, to a highly portable comparatively simple and inexpensive submersible heater for swimming pools. It has heretofore been recognized as being desirable to equip out of doors swimming pools, notably in additional northern climes, with heating techniques for heating the pool water within the interest of extending the swimming season to the utmost extent possible and to otherwise contribute typically to swimming comfort during the season resembling on cool evenings or even during the day when unseasonably cool ambient temperatures'could occur.
