Claims11
A fluid line configuration for a boiler apparatus, the fluid line configuration comprising:
- A single fluid input line;
- A first reduction in the fluid input line whereby the input line is divided into a first reduced fluid input line and a second reduced fluid input line, the first and second reduced lines being smaller than the single fluid input line;
- A first manifold coupled to the first reduced fluid input line, the first manifold defining a plurality of further reduced outlet openings smaller than the first reduced fluid input line;
- A second manifold coupled to the second reduced fluid input line, the second manifold defining a plurality of further reduced outlet openings smaller than the second reduced fluid input line;
- A fluid conduit coupled separately to a plurality of outlet openings of the first manifold, each fluid conduit coupled to the first manifold having a length shaped into a substantially planar and laterally coextensive serpentine configuration, the fluid serpentine shaped conduits disposed in a spaced relationship to each other in substantially parallel planes with defining a space between each serpentine configuration thereby forming a first layered set of reduced fluid conduits;
- A fluid conduit coupled separately to a plurality of outlet openings of the second manifold, each fluid conduit coupled to the second manifold having a length shaped into a substantially planar and laterally coextensive serpentine configuration, the fluid serpentine shaped conduits disposed in a spaced relationship to each other in substantially parallel planes defining a space between each serpentine configuration thereby forming a second layered set of reduced fluid conduits;
- and
- wherein the first layered set of reduced fluid conduits is disposed in the spaces between the layers of conduits in the second set.
