Patented Aug. 29, 1911-.
Application filed September 26,1910. Serial No. 583,799.
To all whom it may concern;
Pittsburg, in the county of Crawford and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in GasGenera;
tors;-andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description 0 the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art towhich itappertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to certain newand useful improvements in gas generators for making gas from kerosene, etc, for engines of-the automobile, stationary type, the object being to provlde a generator which is so constructed that the oil will be readily converted'into gas by the heat from the exhaust of the engine. Another object of my invention is to provide a mixer 1n connection with the generator, whereby the required amount of air will be mixed with the gas before it enters the cylinders of the en me.
A still further 0 jeet of'my invention is tolprovide supply and'storage tanks, which areso connected that the pressure within the respective tanks will be equal.
Another object of my invention is to provide a regulator in connection with the feed tank, whereby the control of oil to the generator will be regulated by the pressure within the tank.
With these objects in view, the lnventlon consists in the novel'features of construction,"
combination and'arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawing forming a part of this specification: Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view of my im roved invention. Fig. 2 is a detail vertica section through the mixer. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the generator. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is a vertical section through the feed regulator.
In carrying out my improved invention, I em loy a feed tank 1 and a storage tank 2, which. are connected together by a pipe 3, as clearly shown. Extending from the feed tank 1 is a pipe 4 which is provided with 'a gate valve casin 5,-in which is mounted a gatevalye 6 provided with a stem 7 which extends into a cylinder 8, and is providedwith a piston '9 which Works withinthe cylinder and marine and is controlled by the pressure within the feed tank, said cylinder being connected thereto by a pipe 10. A spring is arranged under the piston 9 around the stem 7 in order to resist a certain amount of pressure.
' Connected to the supply pipe his a gen,- erating cylinder 12 provided'with flues 13;
through which hot gases from the exhaust,
pipe 13 are adapted .to pass, said cylinder being provided with a head 14 attach end to which the respective ends of" the bx' h-aust pipe areconneeted in such amanner that the oil fed into the cylinder will percolate over the fines which have been heated" b the exhaust gases in' such a manner that t: e oil will be converted into gas, which will pass out of a pipe 15 into the storagetank 2 which is of'such a size that the same. will hold a sufiicient quantity of gas to start the enginein order that the heat from the en'- gine Wlll be able to continue-the generation oi gas for running the same. The exhaust pipe -13 is connected by branch pipes to respective cylinders of a gas engine (not shown), and is of the ordinary, construction. Extending from the storage tank 2 is ga supplypipe 17 which extends to a mixer =18 wh1ch is provided with an air inlet' valvej19 J and an exhaust valve 20 .forre1ieving. the" same of over-pressure incase that the engine back fires. Extending from the mi'xergiS is a pipe 21 which is' rovided with branch. pipes 22 connecting the same to the resp eetive cylinders of the engines, whereby-file as generated from thegenerator and stored unto the tank 2 will be conveyed through the mixer where air will be mixed with the same and delivered to the respective cylinder'sbf the engine, saidtank holding a suflicient I quantity of gas to run the engine until the generator has been heated iii-order to generate a new supply ofgas From the foregoing description, it will be seen that I have provided a gas generator for gas engines of all kinds which is so constructed that gas will be generated by the p heat from the exhaust; It will also be-seen that I have provided a-storage tank in con nection with the generator in which gas can be stored in order to start the engine.-
What I claim is:
; 1. A gas generator for ex losive engines,
comprising a cylinder provi edwith a plura-lity of. fl ues through which the exhaust combustion gases are adapted to pass, an oilinc supply pipe connected to said cylinder, a gas outlet pipe connected to 'said cylinder,
tanks connected to the respective supply and outlet pipes, and a pipe connecting said tanks.
2. A gas generator for explosive engines, comprising a compartment provided with a plurality of flues through which the exaust combustion gases are adapted to pass, a fuel supply pipe connected to said co1n-.
partment, a gas outlet pipe connected to said compartment, tanks connected to the respective supply and .outlet pipes, a pipe connecting said tanks, and means operated by the pressure'in saidvtanks to regulate ment, tanks connected to the respective supply and outlet pipes, a pi e connecting said tanks, a. valve in said fuel supply pipe, and a ,plunlger connected to said adapte to be operated by the pressure in said tanks.
4.11.11 a gas generator for explosive engines, the combination with a gas generating compartment, supply and outlet pipes connected to said compartment, supply and storage tanks connectedto said pipes, and a v pipe connecting said tanks; of a regulator for said generator, comprising a cylinder,
valve and said cylinder being in communication with said supply tank, a piston in said cylinder,
and a valve interposed in said supply pipe and connected to said piston. In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 1
