Abstract

990,914. Oscillating column combustion chambers. H. C. KLEIN. June 27, 1961 [June 29, 1960], No. 23210/61. Headings F1G and F1L. Oscillating gas column combustion apparatus comprises at least one detonation chamber 1, a conduit 3 connecting the chamber 1 to the chamber 2, a non-closable inlet 6 in the conduit admitting air or fuel-air mixture to the detonation chamber 1, an outlet 5 connected to the second chamber so that only a portion of the gases passes to a heat engine, the arrangement being such that a quantity of air or airfuel mixture is sucked into the inlet due to varefaction in the wake of the pressure wave produced in the detonation chamber and reverse pressure wave creating means 4 for creating a reverse pressure wave which can travel to the detonation chamber from a location on the far side of the inlet. In a modification, the pressure wave creating means comprises a second detonation chamber. One or more identical chambers may be arranged around a detonation chamber or a plurality of pairs of detonation chambers arranged around a common intermediate chamber in star-like formation. The outlet 5 is provided at the point where the maximum periodic mean value of the pressure occurs and the air inlets 6 are arranged at those points at which the minimum periodic mean value of the pressure occurs and are so located that the detonation wave has no effect on the inlet but the returning pressure waves exert a suction effect thereon. The fuel may be injected into the detonation chamber in a tangential direction. A preheatable separate detonation chamber may be provided for starting purposes. The fresh air may be pre-compressed. A number of combustion chambers may be arranged in series. The combustion chambers may be arranged in series. The combustion chambers may be provided in a turbine rotor, the rotary axis of which is the axis of symmetry of the combustion chambers. In this arrangement the fuel is introduced axially and flung by centrifugal force against the walls of the chambers.
