JOSEPH J. s'i. WRBA, or HOUSTON, TEXAS.
HYDROCARBON-BURNER.
To allzu/tom t may concern.' t
Be it known that I,.JosEi H J.. ST. WRBA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Houston, in the county of Harris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Blum ers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part 1 of this specification. n
This invention relatesto improvements in hydrocarbon burners, its object being to provide an inexpensive apparatus in which refined oil or heavy crude oil can be utilized as fuel.
In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a front plan view, one half of the apparatus being shown in section, and
Fig. 2 is an end view.
As illustrated in the drawings the apparatus comprises a base in the form of a pan 1, on which is mounted a retort 2, and positioned immediately above the retort is a reservoir 3, from the opposite ends of which a pair of pipes 4 extend. The pipes 4 are turned downwardly and then inwardly toward the retort 2 at which point their end portions are bent upwardly so that they are in close proximity to both the retort and the reservoir. The retort 2 is preferably spherical and the reservoir cylindrical, the latter being of sufficient length to extend over andb'eyond the retort,-thus permitting the flame which issues from orifices 6 formed in caps 5 which close the bent up ends of pipes 4, to impinge against both the retort and the reservoir. The interior diameter of pipes 4 is made as small as possible in order to prevent the cooling oi of the gases while passing therethrough, thus increasing the efficiency of the apparatus.
Oil is supplied from any suitable source (not shown) through piping 7, 9 and a duct 10 formed in pan l to the retort 2 where, due to the heat applied to the retort, it is transformed into gas.V The generated gases pass from the retort through an outlet 14 to the reservoir 3 thence throughA pipes 4 to the orifices 6 where they are burned Yfor continuing the generation of gas and for heating the reservoir and any desired object, the latter being supported immediately above the reservoir in any suitable manner.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 1920. Application led December 19, 1919. Serial No. 345,977.
' f Preferably strainers, indicated at 12 are placed over the inlet and outlet openings of the retort. The retort is also filled with a quantity of gravel 11 which has the effect of straining the Huid and assisting in heating the same.
After the body of gravelbecoines heated the oil passing through the center of the retort comes in contact with the' heated gravel so that itis heated directly and the oil thatconies in contact with .the walls of the retort is Vvaporized by heat derived from said .walls. In this manner practically every portion of the oil passing through the retort comes directly inv contact with a heated body, thus increasing-the 4heating vcapacity of the retort which must, of necessity, be of small size to permit the reservoir to extend beyond it so that the flame may impinge against both the retort and reservoir as heretofore pointed out.
To preventl back-flow of the generated gases in case of high pressure in reservoir 3, a check valve S is interposed in the piping 7, 9, and to regulate the How of oil a needle valve l5, is also placed in said piping.
l/Vhen the apparatus is to be used 'the needle Valve is opened and a small quantity of oil is poured in pan 1, and ignited. The heat from the burning oil in the pan will start the generation of gas in the retort `which will flow through the path above described to the orifices 6 where it will be ignited. The burning of the gas at the orifices will continue the generation of gas in theA retort and heat the reservoir 3 and at thesame time the heat derived from the Haines may be utilized for any desired purpose.
IV hat I claim is:
1. A hydrocarbon burnercomprising an elongated cylindrical reservoir, a retort positioned immediately below and communicating with said reservoir, means within said retort for straining and imparting heat to the hydrocarbon, means for supplying hydrocarbon to the retort and pipes leading from the opposite ends of the reservoir, theouter ends of said pipes being positioned immediately below the reservoir and adjacent to the retort, there being an orifice in the end of each of said pipes to permit the passage and ignition of the generated gas. y
2. A hydrocarbon burner comprising an elongated reservoir, a spherical retort posltioned immediately below and communicating with said reservoir, the diameter o the retort being considerably less than the length of the reservoir whereby the vbottom of the reservoir is exposed throughout practically its entire length, means for supp'lying hydrocarbon to the retort and pipes leading from the ends of the reservoir and having orifices in their outer ends, saidv length of the reservoir whereby the bottomV of the reservoir is exposed throughout practically its entire length, means for supplying hydrocarbon to the retort, means within the retort adapted to filter the hydrocarbon and to conduct heat thereto, pipes leading from the ends of Vthe reservoir and having orifices in their outer ends, said outer ends of the pipes being so positioned with re- Y spect to the retort and reservoir that flames issuing from said orilices will impinge Vlagainst said reservoir and retort.
4. A hydrocarbon burner comprising an elongated reservoir, a spherical retort positioned immediately below and communicating with said reservoir, the diameter of the retort being considerably less thanV the lengthvof the reservoir whereby the bottom of the reservoir is exposed throughout practically its entire lengtli,pipes leading from the endsof the reservoir and having orifices in their outer ends, said outer ends of the.
pipes being so positioned with respect to the retort and reservoir that iiames issuing from said orifices will impinge against said reservoir and retort, and a base for sup-V porting the retort and reservoir, said base 'having a concaveupper surface and a duct therein through whichV hydrocarbon is supplied tothe retort.
