Y. | THE Morison SUSPENSION FURNACE. ESSN XN HIS type of furnace (designed and patented by Mr. Donald B. Morison, of Hartlepool, England) is the result of a series of exhaustive experiments, which were conducted at POOOM NVM ASAIN > Zz 7 7 Z 7 7 7 Leeds, England, under the auspices of Mr. Samson Fox, the introducer and promoter of the world renowned “Fox Corrugated Furnace.” So indispensable has the Fox FurnacE BECOME that more of them are in daily use, than the aggregate of all other types of horizontal. cylindrical furnaces. It has commanded respectful consideration, and been without a rival until the advent of “The Morison Suspension Furnace,” and this, notwithstanding the fact, that during the last decade numerous attempts have been made to produce some type of boiler furnace, which would vie with, and share in the reputation of “The Fox Corrugated Furnace.” “The Morison Suspension Furnace,” inherits all the well-known and valuable features of “The Fox Corrugated Furnace,” but in a more pronounced and perfect development. The catenary form of curve, the distance between centers of ridge arch supporters, and the general proportions as adopted, have been experimentally determined and _ practically proven to offer the greatest resistance to distortion or collapse, and to present a crown surface offering the minimum facility for lodgment of scale, together with a maximum convenience for readily removing the same when formed. These marked advantages have been speedily recognized by owners and users of steam boilers, and the invention has met with the fullest appreciation of, and been properly classified by the English Admiralty, Lloyds, Bureau Veritas and the Board of U. 8. Supervising Inspectors. The freedom from liability to crack and distort, so incident to cylindrical furnaces which are reinforced with incorporated thick ribs, also freedom from the defects incident to that type of furnace composed of sections of flanged and riveted cylinders (ring reinforced) which are liable to change form and develop leakage by reason of undue strains, caused by different degrees of expansion and contraction.—The entire absence of these untoward features in “The Morison Suspension Furnace,” has caused its adoption in numbers of Naval and Merchant Steamers of Great Britain, and other European nations, a partial list of names of these vessels being recorded in the pages immediately following. A particular feature of commercial interest, is the fact that the type of boiler furnace, described as “The Morison Suspension,” possessing the same general characteristics as “The Fox Corrugated Furnace,” is susceptible of production at the same expenditure, therefore either type, of equal dimensions, and requirements, may be purchased at the same price. The sole right to the manufacture and sale of “The Morison Suspension Furnace” in Great Britain, is vested with The Leeds Forge Co. of Leeds, England, and in the United States and Canada, with THE CONTINENTAL IRON WORKS OF GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN, N. Y., which corporation invites attention to its products, and solicits the patronage of the engineering profession.

It is important that the thinning and setting in above-mentioned should be done before the furnaces are annealed, this being the last operation of manufacture. It is also suggested that the radius at the root of the Flanges should not be less than 1 inch inside, so as to avoid any unnecessarily sharp corners.

WwW the rapidly-increasing numbers of Stationary Engines of high efficiency, a demand has been created for boilers ia which the necessarily high pressure of steam can be generated with the most economical consumption of fuel. This demand has been met by the introduction of internally-fired boilers, somewhat similar in design to the Scotch Boiler now so extensively employed in marine practice. This type of boiler is susceptible of numerous modifications in design, and when fitted with suspension furnaces becomes the most satisfactory steam generator that can be employed for stationary and semi-portable purposes. INTERNALLY-FIRED BOILERS are economical in first cost, being self-contained; that is, they are independent of masonry setting, cast iron fronts, buckstays, tie rods, ete. and are therefore capable of being readily moved from place to place with little expense if desired. INTERNALLY-FIRED BOILERS are economical in the consumption of coal, from the fact that there is no brick setting to absorb and radiate the heat, and the furnaces being surrounded by water the heat of combustion is more fully utilized than is possible in externally-fired boilers. | mS (7 eT Pp b b Pp S +e g SPECIAL ADVANTAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF SUSPENSION FURNACES. CIRCUMFERENTIALLY-CORRUGATED FURNACES possess much greater resistance to collapse than any other type, thus permitting the use of thinner metal in the furnace, which facilitates the transfer of heat to the water. THE CORRUGATIONS IN THE FURNACE act as_ baftle-plates to the passage of the furnace gases, causing them to mechanically mix, thus producing far better combustion than is possible with any other type of furnace; while the additional heating surface in the most active portion of the boiler, due to the corrugations, adds largely to the evaporative power of the boiler. IN THE SUSPENSION FURNACE the uniformity of thickness of metal is an especially desirable feature, facilitating the uniform transfer of heat, and permitting the free expansion and contraction of the furnace—features which it is impossible to obtain by means of thick ribs incorporated in the furnace plate, stiffening rings or any other device. THE SUSPENSION FURNACE, while possessing wonderful resistance to collapse, possesses suf- ficient elasticity in the direction of its length to readily accommodate itself to alterations in dimension, caused by changes of temperature in the boiler, thus removing all excessive strains from the joints between it and the boiler heads—advantages impossible to be obtained with any other furnace. SUSPENSION FURNACES are necessarily made from the very best material, which, together with the first-class workmanship necessary for their production, insures the utmost perfection in the completed furnace. 22 | q ee Deseies rin Morison Suspension Furnaces. | : | | eed a AMONG THE ANY USERS OF BOILERS OF THIS CHARACTER WE IIAY MENTION :— CONSOLIDATED Gas Co., New York City.

Y. >I : = i Morison p atent F urnace Door an F rame FOR MARINE AND LAND BOILERS. lt We Me, i Unequalled for Economical Firing. Prevents the Destruction of Baffle Plates. HE FURNACE DOOR illustrated on this page is the invention of Mr. Donald B. Morison of Hartlepool, England, and is intended to overcome some of the defects which are inherent in the present type of furnace doors in use on marine and other boilers. The primary object is to prevent the undue accumulation of fuel on the front end of the grate which causes overheating and ultimate destruction of the furnace door and its attachments, and in consequence of the freedom from obstruction in the front end of the furnace, very much better facilities are afforded for properly stoking the fire. To accomplish this, a portion of the dead plate immediately inside of the furnace door, is cut away, so as to leave a recess. The door is provided with an inward extension, which when the door is closed, fills the recess in the dead plate. This extension and also the vertical portion of the door, may be perforated and be provided with a perforated baffle plate, for the admission of air to the furnace, in the usual way. THE FURNACE FRONT is made of a plate of pressed steel, worked to the shape indicated in the illustrations and is protected from the fire by perforated cast iron liners. THE FURNACE DOOR is arranged to open upward and is so counterweighted as to remain open while the furnace is being stoked. This is a very important feature in a marine boiler, as it does away with the necessity of catches or other devices for preventing the door from closing with the motion of the ship. ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE of the Morison Patent Furnace Door is that in consequence of the fire being removed from the immediate front of the furnace, the fire room is much cooler, which allows the men to work with more comfort than when the ordinary form of door is used. THESE DOORS and FRATIIES are made of several sizes to suit different size*furnaces. FOR PRICES and OTHER INFORIIATION, address, THE CONTINENTAL IRON WORKS, P. O. Station “‘G,’’ BROOKLYN, N.
