Definitions

  • the unit in question is a self-supporting, tottaly com- [52] Us. CL 44/14; 44/23; 44/25; bustible unit for use against frosts.
  • Said unit consists of 44/38; 126/595 a solid combustible body having at least one passage [5 1] Int CL Clo] 5/36; C10] 5/40 passing through same longitudinally and open at both [58] Fie'd of Search A V I v I H 44 14 3 23 25; ends thereof.
  • the 5011(1 body consists Of a mixture Of 126/595 combustible materials.
  • the lower end of said body is provided with at least one air inlet channel in commu- [56] References Cited nication with the above mentioned passage and ex- UNITED STATES PATENTS tending up to the sidewalls of the aforesaid body.
  • the present invention refers to a self-supporting, totally combustible unit, useful against the effects of frosts, and to a method for obtaining such a unit.
  • the totally combustible unit comprises a solid mass or body molded to a cylindrical or rectangular shape and consisting integrally of a mixture of combustible materials, said body including at least a passage opened at the ends thereof and passing through the body in the longitudinal direction of same, said passage being communicated with at least one air inlet channel corresponding to the lower end of aforementioned body.
  • Said unit considered as a whole, is chemically formulated in a manner adequate to the farmers practical requirements in counteracting positively the harmful effects of frost.
  • the qualities permit that the unit be stored or stacked outdoors, that it be wet by irrigation when on location, or muddied, etc., all these being circumstances which will not affect its combustion and heating capacities.
  • the units according to the invention need not be covered during rain, as happens in the case of burners made of sheet metal.
  • the units therefore, can be left, year after year, close to the trunks of the plants, for use in future seasons, without in any way damaging or contaminating the soil, as happens frequently when liquid fuels are spilled from containers, which spillage then contaminates or kills the soil.
  • the said units are totally combustible and can be coupled vertically one to another, thus improving their heat generating capacity by duplicating the weight of the unit.
  • the new unit keeps its shape, due to its adequate and balanced chemical composition, almost right up to the end of combustion and conversion into ashes. lt permits a compact, unitary and mechanized distribution as all the units supply the same potential calorie content in the units which are burnt on a farm during a night of frost.
  • the units can be set up to form a battery, or in series (horizontal and vertical) inasmuch as merely by lighting the top unit or any horizontal unit, the flame will propage from one unit to another when the units are UI'l mutual contact.
  • the totally combustible units according to the present invention entirely eliminate the necessity of using discarded tires which, on burning, make it impossible to regulate the temperature or the heat produced inasmuch as the entire mass of the tire is burning (it is impossible to stop the combustion of tires having totally different weights).
  • a combustible unit according to the present invention will now be described as a non-limitative and illustrative example which, for greater clarity and comprehension thereof, has been shown in two embodiments in the attached drawings.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the unit designed according to one possible embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic bottom plan view corresponding to the foregoing figure.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic perspective view of one possible variational embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic bottom plan view corresponding to the foregoing figure and, finally FIG. 5 is another perspective view, complementary to the illustration of FIG. 4. de
  • the totally combustible unit consists of a solid cylindrical body I having a top part 2 and seven gasifying passages 3 which are open-ended and pass through said body longitudinally, being at their lower base 4 in communication with air inlets 5.
  • the unit comprises a rectangular body 1 with an upper part 2 and six open-ended gasifier passages 3 which pass longitudinally through said body and, at their lower base 4, are related to communicating air inlet channels 5.
  • the totally combustible unit is readily lighted by sprinkling approximately ten cubic centimeters of a gas oil-naphtha or kerosene-naphtha mixture over the gasifying orifices or passages 3 which generate local temperatures in excess of 240C and start up the operation, gradually increasing the temperature until selfcombustion produces a total, internal as well as external, consumption without any loss whatsoever in physical structure, shape, etc. In fact, gradual coking makes the unit undeformable and the internal temperature slowly rises until, in the gasifying passages 3, it reaches ranges about l000C, thus reducing the unit to ashes.
  • the aforesaid totally combustible units are prepared in the following manner: A hammer mill is charged with residual coal which is then ground and, through pneu matic extraction and classification, is graded to a size of 200 mesh per square centimeter.
  • filler materials can then be added, for example, sawdust, vegetable cellulose residues, pulverized rubber, pulverized bakelites etc., similarly ground as above or to a minimum of 30 mesh per square centimeter, the function of these aggregates being to give a certain porosity to the combustible unit of the invention.
  • the thus prepared mixture is heated to temperatures in the 120 l30C range.
  • An agglomerant consisting of solid asphalt, of a commercial composition plasticized with the addition of 2% vinyl polychloride or polyethylene, is then mixed with said coal and filler, fusion being effected at a temperature in the the 180C range, stirring being effected, vigorously and mechani cally, in a blade mixer, where malaxation occurs of the liquid and hot mixture consisting of fuel oil and diesel oil, which is suitably pulverized to obtain a homogenous paste.
  • the suitably mixed and hot ingredients are then fed to a molding machine which, through high-pressure extrusion, produces the shapes illustrated in the attached drawings.
  • the matrix molds the hot unit which is then immediately cooled to acquire the necessary consistency for handling.
  • Cooling at room temperature provides a solidity such that no softening of any kind occurs at temperatures within the 200C range.
  • the residual petroleum coal being used is fatty and contained a fixed percentage of volatiles and a very small maximum of ashes. The same can be said regarding the aforementioned liquid fuels.
  • Total or partial substitution can be made with the addition of mineral and/or vegetable coals, andthe fueldiesel oil mixture can be replaced by reduced crude (heavy fuel oil).
  • the units according to the invention radiate heat laterally through the entire external surface, this being a fundamental characteristic of the unit.
  • a self-supporting, totally combustible unit, for use in counteracting the effects of frost which comprises a solid combustible body with at least one open-ended passage passing therethrough longitudinally, said passage being communicated with one or more lower air inlet and circulating channels, said unit being characterized by the fact that said combustible body consists integrally of 132 percent of a combustible mixture which includes l00 percent of petroleum residual coal, [5 percent of a filler material chosen from the group consisting of vegetable cellulosic materials, sawdust, pulverized rubber and bakelite, an asphalt agglomerate, and a material selected from the group consisting of vinyl polychloride and polyethylene, the lower base of said combustible body being provided with the channels which, communicating with longitudinal vertical passage, extend towards and to the side of said combustable body to provide inlet openings.
  • a self-supporting, totally combustible unit, for use in counteracting the effects of frost in accordance with claim 1, characterized by the fact that said combustible body is compounded according to the following formula:
  • a selfsupporting, totally combustible unit, for use in counteracting the effects of frost in accordance with foregoing claim 1, characterized by the fact that said combustible body consisting of combustible materials is provided with a plurality of tubular longitudinal passages, communicating with air inlet channels in the lower supporting base of combustible body.
  • a self-supporting, totally combustible unit, for use in counteracting the effects of frost in accordance with claim 3, characterized by the fact that said combustible material is compounded according to the following formula:
