OIL-BURNING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed may 31, 1911.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Beit known that I, ARTHUR E. HAUCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklymin the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Burning Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to oil burning apparatus, and has especial reference to the burning of liquid fuels, such as kerosene, crude oil, etc., for heating purposes, such as in metallurgical and metal working operations, such as brazing, tire fitting, shrinking, etc. 1

I have herein shown and described a portable apparatus particularly constructed and adapted for use in applying and removing the tires of locomotive and other wheels, but also adapted for various other uses.

As generally constructed, the apparatus embodies a truck carrying a liquid fuel reservoir, connected with a preliminaryvaporizer and partial burner, an extinguishing tube and a final burner, which latter is shown herein in the form of a flexible adjustable ring adapted to embrace the tire or other device to be heated by the heat produced by the final burning ofthe fuel.

I provide, where a greater degree of heat is required, an auxiliary fuel supply connected to the final burner, but passing through the primary combustion chamber so that the heat therein can be utilized not only for vaporizing the fuel for the partial combustion but the auxiliary fuel for the final burner as well.

The invention also consists in the various combinations of parts and details of construction as will be more fully, understood in connection with the description of the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l is a side elevation of an apparatus embodying the invention; Fig. 2 an end elevation; Fig. 3 a detail view of a slightly modified partial combustion chamber; Fig. 4 a detailed view of the auxiliary fuel nozzle; Fig. 5 a cross-section of the flexible burner, as adapted forheating tires, etc.; and Fig. 6 is an end view of the partial burner.

1 represents a truck or platform having an upright standard 2, which carries an upper adjustable section 3, herein shown as adjust-able by means of afin 1 passing through poles 5 in the stander 2.

6 represents a liquid fuel tank which is provided with a pump 7 for producing a pressure on the surface of the fuel, and a gage 8.

9 is a fuel outlet-pipe provided with a valve 10 and connected by pipe 11 to a partial burner 13, which partial burner 13 is connected with an extinguishing pipe 1 1, and the latter to the final burner 15. The pipe 11 is connected to a strainer 16, then to a valve 17 which controls the flow of oil both to the main supply pipe 18 and the auxiliary supply pipe 19, each of these pipes 18 and 19 being provided with check valves 20 closing toward the tank, to prevent any back pressure from forcing liquid in pipes 18 or 19 back into the tank. The pipe 18 is formed into a coil 21 which coil 21 is connected to a hollow casting 22 containing an oil passage23, and thence a pipe 24 leads backward to a forwardly projecting nozzle 25. This nozzle consists of a plug having a small hole through which the fuel will issue in the form of gas or vapor, which will be ignited and burned in part within the perforated cylinder 26, which, as shown, is carried by casting 22 and incloses the coil 21. The casting 22 is attached to a head 27 by arms 28, which head 27 is carried by the extinguishing pipe or chamber 14.

29 represents an oil pan adapted to contain a small quantity of oil which when ignited will heat the pipe 18, coil 21, casting 22 and vaporizes the oil therein so that it will issue from the nozzle 25 in the form of gas and ignite itself, it being understood that the air pressure in thetank thus forces the flow of oil, valves 10 and 17 being open. The air supply is such that the blast of vaporized fuel issuing at a high velocity from the nozzle 25 in line with the extinguishing chamber 14 will not burn completely, but will be extinguished upon passmg into pipe 14 through the head 27. There will thus be contained in the chamber 14: a large volume of combustible gas, of which only a small proportion ofthe original fuel supply has been burned, and this gas will be forced by the blast through pipe 11 to the final burner 15 As hereinshown, the final burner 15 com- Pl'ififis a flexible pipe made of metal hose or ointed sections, provided with holes around its inner periphery and plugged ends 30 which may be clamped together as by a chain 31 to embrace the tire of a wheel 32.

The burner 15 carries a series of supports 33 which contact with the wheel to be heated, and thereby form a combustion space between the periphery of the wheel and the final burner 15.

34 is a shield of asbestos fastened to the inner periphery of the burner 15 for protecting the burner tube from excessive heat, and also deflecting the heat inwardly toward the tire which is to be heated. Preferably, the asbestos 34 will have a metal face 35, suitable holes being provided as 37 where the gas is to issue. The final burner tube 15 is connected preferably at an intermedi ate portion to the extinguishing tube 14.

'In some instances, itis desirable to secure additional he'at at the final burner over and above that supplied by the means just described, and this is accomplished by the auxiliary pipe 19 controlled by valve38, and having a coil 39 within the head 27, and then leading the heated additional fuel mixture by pipe 40 to oppositely extending nozzles 41 (see Fig. 4). As shown in the detail of Fig. 4, these nozzles 41 consist of plugs having small passages or nozzles 42 similar to the nozzles 25, and an enlarged dirt or sediment chamber 43 for trapping any solid particles which may pass through the pipe 40. It will be seen that the auxiliary fuel supply will be vaporized in coil 39 and pipe 40 by the heat from the primary partially consumed gases, and then upon issuing from the nozzles 42 mix with the other gases. In practice I have found that the gases from the nozzle 25 which-are extinguished in the extinguishing chamber 14 because of deficiency of air, will sometimes re-ignite upon issuing from the holes 37 of the final burner 15, by reason of their heat, but in case this reignition should not occur they can be readily ignited. It will be understood that the fiow of oil will be readily controlled by valves 17 and 38 to secure any desired degree of heat at the final burner 15.

In Fig. 3, a slight modification is shown, in which the heating coil 21 is dispensed with, and the oil is vaporized at a nozzle 45 by a blast of compressed air from a source 46, the nozzle 45 being inclosed within a perforated c linder 47, the fuel mixture being extinguis ied upon passing into head 27 and extinguishing chamber 14 as heretofore described, the other parts remaining-substantially the same.

For adjusting the height of the apparatus,

a lever 48 (Fig. 2). connected to the upper section of standard 3 and mounted on a fulcrum 49 may be employed.

It is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood from the foregoing description.

So far as I am aware, it has not heretofore been proposed to vaporize liquid fuel by its own heat of combustion and to then extinguish the flame and burn the residue at a final burner, nor, so far as I am aware, has it been proposed to utilize the heat of the extinguished ases for vaporizing an auxiliary supply of fuel and simultaneously burning the resultant mixture at the final burners, for obtaining a high degree of heat. It will be understood that the parts herein shown as especially adapted for heating tires are not the only form in which the invention may be applied, as the construction of the final burner will be adapted for the purposes in view, and various modifications and changes within the scope of the appended claims may be made without departure from the invention.
