Abstract

A gaseous, vaporous or atomized hydrocarbon fuel, e.g. methane, is mixed with oxygen or a gas containing at least 50 per cent. of oxygen to form a combustion mixture containing insufficient oxygen for the complete combustion of the fuel, which mixture is fed to an intermediate container, in which the pressure is maintained at a value at which the mixture is not ignitable, and from thence drawn into an internal-combustion engine, the incomplete combustion of the fuel serving for the simultaneous production of mechanical energy and combustion products such as synthesis gas and carbon black. As an example, in a four-stroke single cylinder engine operated at 350 r.p.m. with a gas mixture consisting of 40 per cent. oxygen, 58 per cent. methane and 2 per cent. nitrogen maintained in the intermediate container at a pressure of 150 mm. of water, the exhaust products contain 36.5 per cent. carbon monoxide, 55.9 per cent. hydrogen and small amounts of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen. The composition of the mixture in the intermediate container is maintained constant to within \sB 1 per cent. of a predetermined value and a device sounds an alarm if the proportion of oxygen in the mixture exceeds by 2 per cent. a predetermined value and cuts off the oxygen supply if the proportion rises to 4 per cent. above the predetermined value. An explosion pressure indicating device operates an alarm and also operates a device to feed carbon dioxide into the combustible mixture immediately before it enters the engine if the cylinder explosion pressures rises to 25 per cent. above a predetermined value. The temperature of the engine cooling water is also maintained constant within \sB 5 DEG C. The engine combustion chamber is preferably cylindrical or hemispherical, and if carbon black is the main combustion product desired the engine is run with a low flame temperature by increasing the cooling of the combustion chamber.
