LIQU1D-EUEL-BURNING APIARATUS.

Application filed October 23, 1920.

To all who-m it may] concern Be it known that l, i 31 or F. Zrmnwsm, a citizen of the United 6 .tes esidi at Ansonia, in the county of New i aven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inliiquid- Fuel-Burning Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oil lnirners burners constructed according to my invention being adapted for application to the fire boxes of ordinary solid fuel domestic stoves, or may be suitably arranged in any other desired manner.

The present invention has for an object to provide an eiiicient burner for use with crude oil, with a consequent cheapening or fuel cost, another objecthaving reference to the burning of a greater or lesser quantity of oil according to the manner ofpiping the same to the burner.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the drawings is a side elevation of my improved burner, showing an enclosing stove casing in longitudinal section.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fi g. 3 is a detail perspective view showing a burner tip steam discharge element.

Fig. at is a fragmentary longitudinal section. of the feed pipe.

in the present embodiment oi the invention I have shown a pair of my improved burners mounted in a stove casing 10 of any suitable construction, it being understood that the precise application of the burner is not material to the present invention, as the burner might be applied to the firebox of an ordinary domestic stove adapted to burn solid fuel, the present invention relating rather to the general systemthan to the con.- struct-ion of the burner itsel'l".

In carrying out my invention I preferably provide a tank 11 which is subdivided by a horizontal partition 12 into upper and lower compartments, the upper compart' ment being adapted to contain the oil, and.

the lower compartment water. From the oil compartment a feed pipe 13 leads to a three-way valve 1 1. From this valve a pair Specification of Letters Patent.

of pipes 15 of reduced size are led, it being understood that it only a single burner were be ng supplied the valve 14 would'be constructed accordingly with only one of the reduced pipes 15 leading therefrom, these reduced pipes being hereinafter referred to as tubes. Q i

Thesetubes 15 communicate in turn with other pipes 16 which extend in vertically arranged loops terminating in burners 1? of ordinary construction the upper reaches of the loops passing over the burners and having circularly expanded pan-like vaporizing chambers 18 therein. i i

The tubes 15 and pipes 16 may be joined together in the manner shown in Fig. 1-, the tube 15 ending in a head 20'which is clamped upon the end of the pipe 16 by a screwcap 21. Extending from end to end through the pipes 16 are a series of fine wires 22 which act after the manner of a strainer.

Connected with the upper part of the water compartment of the tank 11 is an air pump 24 while pipe 25 leads from the lower end of the water compartment and is suitably branched at 26, these branches leading to a pair of horizontally arranged tubular rings 27 located under the vaporizing chambers 18 and slightly above the burners 17. These rings 27 have upwardly projecting nozzles 28 thereom while the branch pipes may be controlled by valve 29. in the operation of the device the valve 1% is turned as desired and the oil flows by gravity through the pipes 1 3, 15 and 16. the Wires 22 serving to split up and filter the oil so that it evaporates more readily in the chamber 18. The pump 24: is operated to force the water into the rings 27 and in jets against the chambers 18 the heatof the vaporizing chambers serving to convert the water into steam, causing the vaporizing chamber to be immersed in a bath of steam, increasing the intensity of the heatradiating from the burner and increasing the efficiencv of the apparatus.

The application of the invention to the lers Patent of the United States is as follows:

1. In a. liquid fuel burning apparatus, a

burner, a fuel supply pipe leading to said burner, said pipe presenting a vertically arranged loop, a vaporizing chamber in the top of said loop comprising a circular panlike element, and a steam jet device interposed between the said burner and vaporizing chamber and comprising a tubular ring having upwardly projecting nozzles located close proximity to the circumference of said vaporizing chamber.

In a liquid fuel burning apparatus, a receptacle for the fuel; a burner, a pipe leading from the receptacle to the burner, said pipe presenting a vertically arranged loop, and an expanded vaporizing chamber in the top of said loop above the said burner and a steam jet device interposed in said loop between said vaporizing chamber and burner.

In a liquid fuel burning apparatus, a

burner, an evaporating chamber above said burner, steam jet device below said evaporating chamber, and a fuel supply conduit leading through said evaporating chamber to said burner said steam jet device comprising a tubular ring having a series of upwardly projecting nozzles.

l. In a liquid fuel burning apparatus, fuel and Water receptacles, an airpump connected to the Water receptacle, a burner, a conduit including a vaporizing chamber leading to said burner, a tubular ring under said vaporizing chamber, ring a pipe leading to said ring from the water receptacle, a second pipe leading through the said vaporizing chamber to the said burner, and a series of fine wires extending longitudinally through the said second pipe.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature. I
