This invention relates to the reservoiring of fuel oil and carburetion of air in connect-ion with internal combustion engines. t is especially designed for stationary engines, but might be used bile engine, v
It is the object of the invention to lift the fuel oil from a comparatively lower level to the cylinder ports by means of the engine it suction, without the intervention of special vacuum apparatus, which is relatively costly,
complicated and liable to get out of repair. The apparatus is so designed that the raw fuel is lifted only a small distance; it is then aspirated and mixed with a small quantity of air in such a rich state as to be non-combustible. It is then lifted in an atomized condition to the level of the cylinder ports and there mixed with the proper amount of air to be combustible.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of an engine provided with the usual manifolds, spark plugs, wiring and other accessories and parts, which are obvious'from an inspection of the drawings. A liquid fuel reservoir is here shown as formed in the standa upon which the motor is supported. This is a conven- 3%; ient form for a power unit which is stationary; however, the reservoir might be at any low point. Supported on this stand is a fixture b in the nature of a carburetor, but so carbureting the air as to make it non comn) bustible due to the large excess of hydro-carbon over'the air as compared with'a normal combustible mixture. This fixture is provided with a Venturi, a nozzle d, needle control valve 6, valve. controlled air intake f.
'13 Preferably this air intake is connected by a pipe h with air intake 9 of the upper fixture,
later to be described. This permits the use of a single air filtering device where this is desired. The Venturi tube 0 is connected by 5 a risertube i with the upper fixture j which with a boat or automo-' cnnnunnrmelnrrani 'rusj f is a-casting and in which is located the throttle valve la which is here shown as con trolled by agovernor roller m, as is common in stationary engine practice, but obviously might be controlledinany other suitable way},
