Application filed December 27, 1920. Serial No. 433,189.
tremely difiicult to burn the heavy crude oi as it flows from the wells without heating the same to a considerable degree.
One important object of the present invention is to provide an improved system for heating such crude oil in a highly economical and eflicient manner.
It is also well understood that in the burning of crude oil it is necessary that the oil be atomized in some manner, as for instance by the use of steam or compressed air.
A second importantobject of the invention is the provision of an improved arrangement for generating the steam necessary to atomize the oil and at the same time for utilizing the heat of the steam to heat the oil in an improved manner.
A third object of the invention is the provision of an improved combined steam generator and oil heating tank for use in connection with systems of this character.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in general of a novel system employing certainunique combmations of elements and details of structure hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and
Figure 1 is a side elevation of arow of oven furnaces and showing the application of the invention thereto.
Fig. 2 is a partial section on the-line 2-2 of Fig. 1, certain parts being shown in ele vation. v
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
In the embodiment of the invention herein illustrated there has been disclosed the exterior wall 10 of an oven having for its bottom a series of furnaces arranged to be heated by suitable crude oil burners. Ihese furnaces each have a boardway 11 and a board 12 which parts may be,of any preferred or desired construction. Adjacent this furnace is disclosed a skeleton tower 13 havlng a closed tank 14 on top thereof. ThlS tank is provided adjacent its top and bottom with pipe fittings 15, these fittings being connected by a glass tube 16 constituting the oil gage. It is to be noted that each of the fittings 15 is provided with suitable stop-cocks so that in the event of the glass tube becoming clogged or broken the stopcocks may be closed and a new tube subs'tituted therefor. This tank 14 is what may be termed the local storage tank, the main storage tank not being deemed necessary to be shown but from the main storage tank extends a pipe-17 which leads to a rotary pump 18 secured to the frame of the tower and having connection by means of a pipe 19. with the top of the tank 14. Leading from the bottom of the tank 14 is a pipe 20 through which oil heated in the tank 14 may be drawn off for further heating if desired. A drain pipe 21 is also connected to the bottom of the tank and is provided with .a valve 22 for the purpose of controlling flow therethrough.
Considering now the steam generating device it will be seen that a cylindricaldrum or boiler 23 extends through the Wall 10 and lies with its axis horizontal. Mounted on thisvdrum or boiler is an oil heating tank 24 and the pipe 20 leads vertically upward through the outwardly projecting portion of the drum into the bottom of the heating tank 24 so that oil which flows through the pipe 20 will flow into this heat ing tank after passing through the hot water and steam in the boiler 23. It is also to be noted that by mounting the lower end of the tank 24 on the boiler 23 the oil in said tank receives heat directly from the upper part of this boiler. Extending upward from the boiler 23 and passing centrally through the tank 24 is a steam pipe 25 provided with a suitable valve 26 just outside the top of the boiler. The steam pipe 25 is also provided with a valve 27 spaced above the valve 26 for purposes which will be hereinafter set "forth. The pipe 25 is continued and carried over to the top of the tank 14, passing downward through the top of said tank and connecting with a heating coil 28. The lower end of this heating coil has a connection with areturn steam pipe 29 passing into the side of theboiler 23 about opposite its axis. Leading from the pipe 25 is a branch pipe 30 which passes downward into the main supply tank for the purpose of preliminarily heating the oil. This pipe 30 is controlled by a valve 31. N at by inspection of Fig. 1 it will be seen that if the valve 26 be opened steam will tend to flow through both the coil 28 and the pipe 30. By closing the valve 27 all of the steam can be caused to flow through pipe 30. On the contrary, by closing the valve 31 and leaving the valve 27 open, all of the steam will flow through the coil 28. In this manner flow of the steam may be regulated. A second brarich'pipe 32 also provided with a valve, as at 33, branches off of the pipe between the valves 26 and 27 and may be connectpd for any desired purpose. In the side wall 10 adjacent the boiler is an opening 34 normally closed by a suit- I able door 35 and supported just. inside this opening is a crude oil burner 36 having its nozzle directed toward the boiler 23 so that when this burner is lighted flame from the burner will strike against the boiler and cause the production of steam from the water therein. The burner 36 is connected by apipe 37 having a valve 38 therein with the tank 24. This burner is also connected by a pipe 39 with a chamber 40 formed on the outer end of the boiler 23, the pipe 39 being for the purpose of supplying steam to the burner whereby to atomize the fuel. A feed pipe 41 serves to supply water to the 'boiler and is provided with the usual valve 42.for regulating such supply. Moreover, this pipe 41 has branches 43 and 44 each provided with a valve 45 whereby the flow of steam through the pipes 43 and 44- to the steam side of crude oil burners 46 located in the furnaces may be controlled. Branching from the pipe 37 are oil supply pipes 47 and 48 each having a valve 49 and these oil supply pipes like the steam pipes 43 and 44 lead to the crude oil burners 46, being connected to the oil side thereof. A sight gage 50 is located on the side of the tank 24 and one or more pressure gages 51 may also be located on this tank. It will be observed that the pipe 37 has its inner end extending downward close to the bottom of the oil tank and that the upper. end of this oil tank is closed. By reason of the tank 14 being at a greater height than the tank 24 the oil flowing down from the tank 14 will compress the air in the top of the tank 24 and this air pressure will be indicated on one of the gages 51. By properly obtain the advantage from its proximity to the boiler. I
From the foregoing it will be seen that the oil, with this system, not only is heated in the main tank but is also heated in the tank 14 and again in the tank 24 so that this crude oil is thoroughly heated and thus is rendered capable of easy atomization.
There has-thus been provided a simple and efficient device pf'the kind described and for the purpose specified.
It is obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing from the material principles thereof. It is not, therefore, desired to confine the invention to the exact form herein shown and described, but it is wished to include all such as properly come within the scope claimed.
Having thu's'descrlbed the invention, what is claimed as new, is
1. In a system of the class described, a ,furnace having a side wall, a cylindrical boiler projecting through said side wall, and an oil distributing tank mounted on the boiler with the shell ofthe boiler forming the bottom of thetank.
