Application filed July 14., 1919. Serial No. 310,552.

-Oklahoma, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in an oilburner.

One object of the invention is to provide a burner of the character described which has been specially designed for use where crude oil is employed as a fuel.

Another object of the invention is to provide a burner of the character described whereby steam is combined and mingled with the fuel, by means of which a vapor is produced which is highly combustible and will produce intense heat.

A further feature of the invention resides in the provision of a movable heat absorbing shell which may be carried back and forth relative to the burner proper, thus increasing or decreasing the heating surface, as may be desired.

A still further feature of the invention resides in the provision of means for drawing off and utilizing the surplus gas generated within the burner.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention has relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1, is a plan view of a furnace showing the burner applied thereto, and

Fig. 2, is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the burner.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference designate slmllar parts in each of the figures, the numeral 1, refers to the furnace as a whole, having parallel brick walls 2 and 3, spaced apart therein and forming the V tubing 10, which is fixed therein, and which is spaced from the inner wall of saidchamber. This tubing carries a spiraled fin 11, which spans the space between said tubing and the steam chamber wall, and which gives a rotating or spiraled movement to the steam that passes under pressure from the steam line 6, through said chamber and is discharged out at the nozzle 9. The

numeral 12 refers'to an oil line, which is controlled by the valve 13, and which enters and terminates in the steam chamber, and through which the oil is discharged into said chamber. This oil is caught up by the current of steam and carried up through the steam chamber in a spiraled movement and is sprayed out by said steam through the nozzle 9 into said chamberin a vaporized form. Leading from the tubing 10,

- there is a gas. pipe 14 which is controlled by the valve 15 and'the surplus gas collecting in the steam chamber enters the port 16, and the gas pipe 14: and is carried away to be utilized for any purpose desired. Surrounding the steam chamber. 8, there is a shell 17 having radiating vanes or fins and composed preferably of the mixture of copper and tantalum. This shell is slidably mounted on the steam chamber 8, and is movable through the instrumentality of a manual rod 18, which is fastened thereto. The shell 17 is located within the combustion chamber and absorbs heat, to a high degree, but is not easily melted and will consequently make the steam chamber very hot so as to vaporize the fuel'therein. When the shell is moved inwardly toward the nozzle 9, it will be entirely within the combustion chamber and will become heated to a high degree, but it may be withdrawnv partly out of the combustion chamber, thereby reducing the heatthereof. Theburner,

may, therefore be regulated ina large degree'by adjusting said shell on the steam chamber. What I claim is: g 1. An oil burner including a steam a steam line entering-the other end of said chamber, spiraled baflles within the chamchamber, one end of whlch terminates 1n a nozzle,

ber, a fuel line discharging fuel within said chamber, a gas delivery line leading from said chamber, a shell surrounding said chamber having; radiating vanes therearound and a manual means for adjusting said shell back and forth on said chamber.

2. An oil burner including a tubular steam chamber, one end of which terminates In testimony whereof I have signed my in a discharge nozzle, a spiraled baflle Withname to thlS Sp8C1fiCttl0D in thepresence of in said chamber, a steam line and a fuel oil two subscribmg Witnesses.
