DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to a boiler having a pumping effect, comprising a casing which includes an outer and an inner, annular liquid compartment the outer of which has a greater extent in height than the inner one and which communicate with each other at the bottom, and a supply pipe is connected at the bottom to the outer liquid compartment, while at the top an outlet pipe is connected to said outer liquid compartment and a heat source is adapted to act in a central through-going combustion chamber to heat the inner walls, facing the combustion chamber, of the inner annular liquid compartment as well as that portion of the outer, equally annular liquid compartment which extends above said inner compartment.
Boilers of this type (cf. eg. Swedish Pat. No. 316 277) are apt for use in heating systems for caravans, boats and the like and also as waterheaters. Of course the invention can be used also in other fields where water is to be heated up and brought to circulate in some way. Due to the pumping effect of the boiler, which is obtained by co-operation of the inner and outer annular liquid compartments, no separate pump is required and thus not either any form of electricity, since the boiler is driven by means of gas especially but of course other fuels can also be used. Besides, the ignition of the fuel is effected for instance by piezo-electrical means.
The disadvantage of prior art boilers is that their efficiency is low. Considering the energy costs a boiler of the type mentioned above will thus not be quite economical in use.
The object of the present invention is to provide a boiler of the above-mentioned type having a substantially improved efficiency as compared to prior art boilers of this type.
This object is achieved in that an upper portion of a partition separating the outer and inner annular liquid compartments is double and defines an annular space open upwardly towards the combustion chamber, while a lower portion of the partition consists of a cylindrical screen, and in that the wall of the inner liquid compartment bordering on the combustion chamber is provided with a number of rods extending straight across the combustion chamber and being adapted to conduct to the wall the heat emitted from the heat source.
The invention will be described more in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows a cross-section of a preferred embodiment of a boiler according to the invention.
A boiler 1 with a pumping effect according to the invention comprises a casing 2 which includes an outer and an inner, annular liquid compartment 3 and 4, respectively, of which the outer one has a greater extent in height than the inner one and which communicate with each other at the bottom. At the bottom a supply pipe 5 is connected to the outer liquid compartment 3, while at the top an outlet pipe 6 is connected to the outer liquid compartment 3. A heat source (not shown) is adapted to act in a central through-going combustion chamber 7 to heat the inner walls 8, facing the combustion chamber, of the inner annular compartment 4 as well as that portion 9 of the outer, equally annular liquid compartment 3 which extends above said compartment 4.
An upper portion of a partition separating the outer and inner, annular liquid compartments 3 and 4 is double and defines an annular space 10 open upwardly towards the combustion chamber 7, while a lower portion of the partition consists of a cylindrical screen 11. The wall 8a of the inner liquid compartment 4 bordering on the combustion chamber is provided with a number of rods 12 extending straight across the combustion chamber and being adapted to conduct to the wall the heat emitted from the heat source.
In the preferred embodiment the rods 12 are horizontally directed above each other in the longitudinal direction of the combustion chamber 7. The rods are helically arranged and spaced apart at substantially equal distance from each other in the longitudinal direction of the combustion chamber. The rods of the boiler according to the drawing a
