HYDROCARBON-BURINER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. May 1, 1913. Serial No. 764,852.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, W'AL'rnn S. MUM- MERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minot, in the county of l/Vard and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to hydro-carbon burners and has for its object the production of a simple and eflicient burner wherein an eiiicient combustion may be produced so as to cause a uniform heat to be created by the flames from the burner.

Another object of this invention is the production of a simple and etiicient means for feeding the water to the boiler and keeping the water at a uniform height.

With these and other objects in View, this invention consists of certain novel construetions, combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevation of the burner showing the water supply tank in section. Fig. 2 is a top plan view with one of the ba'ille plates partly broken away of the burner and the secondary battle plate removed. Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. i is a section taken on line 1--4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective of the supporting member for the water supply tank. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective of the heat pipes through which the Water is adapted to pass. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the boiler used in connection with the present device. Fig. 8 is a detail transverse sectional view showing the relative arrangement of the steam supply and burner. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the discharge nozzle used in connection with the present invention.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that 1 designates the tray or pan which is provided with a flange 2 extending entirely around the same. This tray or pan 1 is provided with apertures3 formed in the sides thereof for facilitating the passage of air into the tray or pan and cause an cilicient draft therethrough. An asbestos plate 4: is placed in the bottom of the tray or pan 1 and is adapted to be saturated with oil when the burner is first lighted so as to efliciently heat the boiler 5 prior to the generation of the steam. It, of course, should be understood that the steam will soon be created within the boiler after the oil in the bottom of the pan has been lighted and the flame will burn from the burner pipe in the manner to be hereinafter described.

The boiler 5 is preferably formed of a rec tangular body being set upon one of the flanges 2 as illustrated in Fig. 3. This boiler 5 is provided with an inlet pipe 8 which pipe is connected to the Water supply tray 9. The boiler 5 is also provided with a discharge outlet 10 which discharge outlet is provided at one end with an overhanging flange 11 adapted to be engaged by the closure cap 12. A pivoted link member 13 is secured to the top of the tank 5 and is adapted to engage the upper face of the cap 12 to hold the same firmly over the outlet aperture 10. The cap 12 is provided with a discharge pipe 14 to which is connected the stub pipe 15 for conveying the steam from the boiler into the several pipes of the burner.

The pipe 15 supports a steam super-heating pipe 16 and and this steam super-heating pipe 16 is connected to a parallel superheating pipe 17 by means of a transversely extending connecting pipe 18, the )ipe 18 being connected to the

pipes

16 and 17 at their rear ends, or, in other words, at the end opposite to the ipe 15. The parallel super-l1cating pipe 1? is in turn connected to a secondary super-heating pipe 19 by means of a diagonally extending pipe 20. The pipe 19 carries a plurality of upwardly extending supporting rods 21 and upon these supporting rods 21 is mounted a flame distributing plate 22, the rods 21 passing through the apertures 23 formed in the plate 22. Flame distributing apertures 24 are formed in the plate 22 and are adapted to distribute the flame throughout the entire length of the plate so as to produce an even heating surface. A secondary baille plate 25 is supported upon the

pipes

19 and 17 in the manner as illustrated in Fig. 3 so as to allow the flame from the burner to be distributed over the super-heating pipes 16 and 1.7 to producean eliieicnt combustion.

The pipe 19 is provided with a downwardly extending discharge pipe 26 which carries a discharge nozzle or cap 27 over which nozzle is placed the burner pipe 28. This burner pipe 28 is provided with a plurality of apertures 29 which are arranged in parallel rows for causing the blaze to be discharged in the path of the

pipes

16, 17 and 19, as shown in Fig. 8. The burner pipe 28 is secured over the cap 27 by means of the slot 30 fitting over the pin 31 and in this manner may be easily detached from the cap so as to be cleaned it it be so desired. It should be further understood that the pipe 15 is readily detached from the stub pipe 14, thereby also allowing access to be had to the interior of the boiler 5 for the purpose of removing sediment or other accumulation which may be settled in the boiler. The boiler 5 is provided at one end with a pipe supporting bracket 31 adapted to engage the super-heating pipe 16 at its far end so as to support the same and relieve considerable of the strain from the pipe 15. A plurality of spaced brackets 32 are also mounted upon the tray 1 along the edge thereof and engage the pipe 19 to constitute an eflicient support to hold the burner pipe 28 above the floor or base of the tray or pan 1 to allow a free circulation of air under the Jan. I It should be understood that the present device may be placed in a desired position within the stove to accomplish the desired purpose. An oil supply pipe 33 is connected to the pipe 19 at its far end and this pipe carries a needle valve 34 for controlling the passage of oil therethrough, the oil passing into the pipe 19 through the aperture 35 formed in the outer end of the pipe. As above stated, a water supply tank 36 is employed in connection with the present invention, this supply tank 36 being suspended from a standard 37 mounted upon the water supply tray 9. This water supply tray 9 carries a sleeve 38 upon one side which constitutes a socket for receiving the standard 37. This standard 37 is provided with an overhanging end 39 in which is adjustably mounted a supporting hook 40," said supporting hook carrying an adjusting nut ll for regulating the height of the hook 40 upon the overhanging end 39. The tank 36 is suspended upon the hook by means of a bail 42 and this tank is also provided with a supply opening 43 which opening is normally closed by means of the plug 44. The tank 36 is also provided with a valve casing 45 at its lower end in which Works a valve 46 normally held in a closed position by means of a spring 47. The bottom of the tank 36 is held in alinement with the tray 9 by means of guiding brackets 48 which guiding brackets engage the sides or" the tank and prevent the lateral movement of the tank relative to the tray 9. If it is desired to allow considerable water to pass through the system, the supporting hook 40 may be adjusted so as to allow the tank 36 to descend upon the tray 9 so as to hold the valve 46 widely open. If only a small quantity of water is desired to flow through the system, the supporting hook 40 may be w so adjusted as to hold the valve 4-6 in a closer arrangement with the valve seat and allow only a small amount of water to pass therethrough.

The cap 27 is provided with an aperture l9 which will allow the oil, before lighting the burner, to pass through'the pipe 19, through the pipe 26, and be discharged out through the aperture 49 into the bottom of the pan 1 whereupon the oil will saturate the asbestos plate 4L- and by applying a match thereto the oil. will become ignited and the heat will generate steam within the boiler 5. The steam will then pass up through the pipe 15, through the

pipes

16, 18 and 17,

through the pipe 20, through the pipe 19 mixing with the oil passing therethrough, and vaporize the same by reason of the heat and thereby produce carbon which takes up the oxygen of the water and separates the oxygen from the hydrogen and passes down into the tube 26, the cap 27, and thence coming out through the perforations 29 formed in the burner pipe 28, producing an eflicient combustion. The flames will then strike the balfie plate 25 and be distributed well over the

pipes

16 and 17 and will also be distributed against the plate 22 and in turnpassing through the apertures 24 formed therein.

The pan or tray 1 is adapted to fill the entire space in the stove, shutting out any chance for the air passing up by the sides of the flanges 2, thereby causing all of the air to pass through the apertures or perforations 3 in the pan to produce an'eificient upward current of air through the burner.

It will be seen by carefully considering Fig. 1 that the tank 36 is larger than the receiving pan 9 and the side edges of this tank 36 overhang the sideedges of the receiving pan 9 so as to prevent the dust or dirt which might accumulate upon the outside of the tank 36 from'dropping into the pan 9 and causing a sediment to be depos- V ited thereon.
