WILLIAM EG-LE, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN;
HYnitociiitisoiv` BURNER.
Application mea March 29, 1920. seriai No. aea'sii.
To aZZ'wiom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, 'WiLLiAMEeLn a citizenI of the United States, residin at-Detroit, in the county ofV VVay'neand tate of4 Michigan, have inventeda new `and useful Hydrocarbon Burner,y ofl which the following isa specification. y
This invention' relatesv to hydrocarbon burners and more particularly toburners' designed-to use petroleum and-like heavy hydrocarbon oilsas fuel.
It1is=1the object of the invention to .provide a hydrocarbon burner having provision for preheating the fuel tol decrease'itsviscosityand insure a more ready combustion, andlfurther having means for mixing a regulable quantity of air with thefuel prior to combustion, and means for delivering a regulable supply of airf'to support com-bus -tion` .of the mixture'.
A further feature of the invention isthe regulation of the fuel discharge by means of the air whchyismixed with the' fuel prior v to combustion. i
In attainingwthese objects, the inventioncontemplates aliquid sfuelnozzle disposedl withinan air passage to which airis delivered `under pressure, saidipass'age havingA a mixture outlet in line'with the-discharge i offsaid nozzle, and the latter being adjustf` able to and from .said outlet so that theproportionfof air in:the1mixture'may bein'-V creased or decreased according as the nozzle' is shifted from ory toward said outlet.' The' .invention further contemplates a plurality l of 'fairfr tubes similarly: inclined ,tof discharge toward the point of combustion and adjust'- able in. unison to or from said point.`
A preferred embodiment of the invention is hereinafter described and illustrated-in the accompanying drawing, wherein,
Fig. 1 is a view of the improved burner in side elevation.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of the same.
In these views the reference characterfl designates a tubular air passage, and 2 is a hollow discharge headinto which-one end of the member l is screw-threaded. Said head is formed with an youtlet@ from the passage 1,`which outlet opens into a cup.- shaped. depression l in the exterior face of the head. l/Vithin the passage l there is centrally extended -a liquid fuel nozzle l5, havf` ing the conical discharge `head '6 formed carrying said mem-ber.'
Aair from thel annular witlithe axial outlet 7 in alinement with the outlet '3, and also Vformed with a number oflaterally opening discharge ports 8. The( nozzle 5' is longitudinally adjustablevto vary the spaced relation betweenthe heady 6v andoutlet 3', being adapted forsuch'adji'istment by engagementy with a slide bearing 9'su`itably4 packed as indicated at l0 and carried by'oneend of al liquid fuel passage 1l, which is securedto the passagefll in alinement therewith. Vithin said passage l1 the memberl has an actuating" extension l2 formedI by cutting said member along its axis and removing onefofthejhalves thus produced, andby forming-.a rack ofgear teeth Vin the longitudinalledges4 of the remaining'halfl This'rackis:r engaged a pinion ll3mounted fastupon a stem let trans-y versely'journaledfin the member lland projecting atone end exteriorly of'fsa'id member to receivean actuating handle, 15j. The passage ll has! a closedffaxial extension'lo` to Y accommodate the" rack member 12"' inany ofA thelvarious retracted positions of'the nozzle Liquid fuel .is 'de'-` livered to the passage lllfrom a'pipe 17 havingfa portion 1l8^enclosedjwithin` a heating" chamber formed by apassage @delivering I chamber 20 ink the head 2 tovthzerear portion of the passageV l. Airv under pressure `is supplied `to said ani nularchamber throughffa pipe 421 commu-nicati'nguiithfsaid chaiiiber? preferably at ai point diametrically opposite the outlet thereof.y Tlielfhead v2=prov'idesl a mounting for a plurality of air tubes 22 similarlyinl' clined to the aXis of discharge ofthe burner, their' discharge ends T being convergent av short 5distanceforward^fof the mixtureyoute let 3 and their rear endsfbeing formed with bell-mouthedv air inlets 22e slightlyto the rear of the head 2. As a' common-meansfor adjusting said air tubes.'longitudinally in the head2, a'wingmut 23 -isengaged with a threaded portion lof the member l,y and collarsQQt respectively formed upon the rear endsy of saidnirtubesare extended linto an annular slot y25 in thehnut 2?),said slot being-suitably inclined to the axis of Asaid nut to .accommodate ysaid collars.` Thusf when the wing-nut is adjusted longitudinally upon themember l,- the airfitubeslare correspondinglyshiftedy in unison along their respectivey axes.
Thek described burner is particularly designed for burning the heavier liquid hydrocarbons, such as petroleum or crude oil, and by preheating both the fuel and the air which 'is commingled therewith a very satisfactory combustion of such fuels is secured. The head 2 becomes highly heated while the burner is in use, imparting a high temperature to the air owing through the annular chamber 20. The air thus heated in flowing through the passage 19 exerts a preheating effect upon the liquid fuel which is being delivered through the pipe 19, so that the mixture which discharges from the outlet 3 is at a temperature requiring but little further elevation to reach the combustion point. The liquid fuel content of the mixture which discharges from the opening 3 is increased through approaching the nozzle head 6 to said opening,and decreased by retracting the nozzle so as to increase its distance from said opening. This regulation of the mixture follows from the described adj ustment'of the nozzle, for the rea-V son that the body of air under pressure between the nozzle and outlet 3 opposes the dis charge of liquid Vfuel and this opposition increases in proportionas the size of said body is increased through withdrawing thev nozzle from saidoutlet. Combustion occurs closely adjacent the head 2, and is supported tion results with a maximum of heat and minimum of smoke and soot.
While designed primarily for use with heavy hydrocarbon fuels, the described burner is also vapplicablefor use with almost any fluid hydrocarbon as fuel..-
