Abstract

3495. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Sodeau, W. H. Feb. 20. Compressed - air engines; combustion product engines.-Relates to a method of and means for beating compressed air or other gas capable of supporting combustion for motive power and other purposes, and to its application to the propulsion of torpedoes. The combustion chamber, through which part or the whole of the air is led on its way from the source of supply to the engines, is fed with fuel by the pressure of the air, the air for feeding the fuel being under a pressure which is markedly higher than that of the air in the combustion chamber. Two arrangements are shown. Part of the air supply flowing through a pipe b, Fig. 1, passes to the combustion chamber e, which is supplied with liquid fuel from the reservoirs h, j through a spraying-nozzle k, and then rejoins the main stream of air through the valve-controlled pipe f. The fuel may be ignited by an electric primer p. The air in the reservoirs h, j may be kept at a higher pressure than that in the combustion chamber by means of a valve d placed in the pipe c, or any existing drop of pressure may be utilized. The valve d, with the valve a in the pipe b, serves to regulate the proportion of the air to be heated. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the requisite head for spraying is caused by the insertion of a perforated plate q, through which the whole air supply passes into the combustion chamber. When the.engine has made a certain number of revolutions, the valve m controlling the fuel supply is opened. Almost immediately the primer p is fixed.
