APPARATUS FOR BURNING PETROLEUM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 403,033, dated May '7, 1889.
Application filed November 16, 1885. Serial No.183,030. (No model.)
- izin g liquid hydrocarbon, superheatin g steam,
and mixing the steam and the hydrocarbon vapor together in the presence of an intense heat, so as to decompose the steam and form a burning gas that mingles with the volatilized hydrocarbon and is burned in the atmosphere so as to produce an intense heat and flame that is adapted to the generation of steam in boilers and for heating purposes generally.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of our improved apparatus. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same at the line 00 00. Fig. 3 is a section at the line y y. Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the end of the petroleum-pipe and of the steam-pipe with which it is connected, in a modified form, and Fig. 5 is an inverted plan of the same.
WVe make use of a generator, E, supported by tubular legs L, said legs having at their upper ends elbows that are screwed into openings at the sides of the generator E.
The mixer or generator E is in the form of a metal box, preferably quadrangular and provided with a bottom, a, that may be removed and replaced if injured by the action of the heat. Within this generatorE there are partitions e, and the steam and hydrocarbon vapors are mixed, as hereinafter described, in the central portion of the generator, being confined by these partitions e, and the inflammable fluids descend beneath these partitions e and rise up and escape by the legs. Petroleum or other hydrocarbon liquid is supplied into the generator E by the pipe 0, and steam under pressure is caused to pass through the pipe N from any suitable boiler, and to pass backward and forward through the coils N of pipe, so that the steam becomes superheated by the flame that acts on the outside of the coil N, and the superheated steam enters the generator E, and the pipe 11 and petroleum-pipe C terminate adjacent to each other within the generator E, so that the superheated steam issuing from the pipe n comes into direct contact with the petroleum or other hydrocarbon liquid issuing from the pipe 0, and it is preferable to makethe issuing steam atomize or scatter the liquid hydrocarbon, so that the heat to which the materials are subjected within the generator E may cause the oxygen of the steam to combine with a portion of the hydrocarbon oo vapor and liberate the hydrogen of said steam and cause it to commingle with the olefiantgases and pass through the tubular legs L in a condition adapted to rapid and perfect combustion in the atmosphere.
The pipe C, through which the liquid hydrocarbon reaches the generator E, is preferably incased with two tubes, 0 0 containing non-conducting material such as asbestus or mineral wool or plaster-of-paris-so as to prevent the liquid being volatilized within the pipe 0. We prefer to make use of an annular case surrounding the lower end of the pipe 0 and. having a circular range of perforations around 7 5 such pipe, so that the highly-superheated steam from the pipe n comes into direct contact with the petroleum as it issues from the end of the pipe 0, as shown in the detached section, Fig. 4, and inverted plan, Fig. 5.
In Figs. 1, 2, and 3 we have represented branch pipes n 'n n n with a cock in each, by which the superheated steam is conveyed into the generator and issues by jet-nozzles contiguous to the end of the pipe 0, and by leading the pipe 02 at an inclination into the pipe O,near the end thereof, the steam acts as an ejector and atomizer upon the liquid hydrocarbon. In all instances the liquid hydrocarbon is instantly volatilized and com- 0 bines with the superheated steam, forming the highly-inflammable mixture which is burned, as before set forth.
The lower ends of the legs L are connected to the horizontal sockets L and from these 5 extend out laterally thetubular frames L that are perforated on opposite faces and receive between them the slotted or perforated tubes P, and usually the legs L are connected by the slotted tube Q. There is a valve-seat in each of the sockets U between the place where the legs L connect to the same and the tubular frames L and there are valves 1 upon a stem, '2", that terminates as a screw, 1 passing through a coupling or cap at the end of one of the sockets L By means of this screw 0' the stem and valves are moved to open and close the seats and regulate the supply of burning gas passing from the tubular legs L to the pipes P, or allowing the gas to be cut off from the same.
The pipes P P and Q may be partially rotated by a let er or wrench to bring the slot or line of perforation along the top of each tube into a proper position for directing the flame more or less upon the generator E. It is preferable to make the bottom of this generator E with a double inclined plate, 8, so that the heat may act upon the generator to the best advantage. The heat which is not required upon the generator or superheating-pipes passes off and is made use of in heating boilers or other articles. The double incline in the bottom 6 causes any liquid hydrocarbon to spread and become volatilized, and said bottom maybe .removed, if it is worn out, and another substituted.
The supply of petroleum or other liquid hydrocarbon to the pipe 0 and the supply of steam to the pipe N are to be regulated by cocks of any suitable character, so that the steam will be in the proper proportion to the petroleum for obtaining the best and most perfect combustion. The cocks may be provided with index-hands to show the extent of openin It is to be understood that the tubular frames L and pipes P P Q will usually be provided at the bot-tom of eachpair of tubular legs L, so as to pass off in opposite directions, as shown; but where the fire-chamber in a boiler is not sufficiently large the tubular frames L and pipes P P Q may be used with only one pair of legs L.
It is preferable to place the apparatus upon a brick-work foundation within the furnacespace of the boiler, as seen at A, and to provide one or more openings through this foundation at A for the passage of atmospheric air into the fire-chamber, which air, commingling with the heated gases that issue from the pipes P P and Q,will produce a very perfect combustion and an intense flame, and such flame may pass through the tubes or flues of the boiler for heating the same. Usually the gases issuing from the openings in the tubes Q will be sufficient for heating the generator, and the remaining flame and hot gases will act upon the steam-boiler or other thing to be heated; and we provide a bonnet, U, in the form of a truncated pyramid, of sheet metal or other suitable material, surrounding the generator and confining and directing the flame upon the generator, and the bridge-wall R, that rises as high as the generator, causes the heat to rise and pass off, preferably above the generator, before acting upon the boiler or other article for which it has been constructed.
When the apparatus is first started, the necessary heat may be obtained by charcoal or other fuel beneath the generator, and to facilitate this operation a removable grate or pan for fuel may be introduced, as shown by dotted lines at S, Fig. 2, and a blast of air to the same may be directed by a pipe into the space below this grate.
Plugs may be inserted in the bottom 6 of the generator for drawing off any residuum that may accumulate in the said generator.
We claim as our invention 1. The tubular frames L and the slotted or perforated pipes P, passing across from one tubular frame to the other and capable of being partially rotated, in combination with the tubular legs L, generator E, super-heating steam pipe and coil, and the pipe for supplying liquid hydrocarbon, substantially as set forth.
2. The tubular legs L, tubular sockets L valve-seats, and valves, in combination with the tubular frames'L, slotted or perforated tubes P P and Q, generator E, petroleum-supply pipes G, and pipe for supplying superheated steam into such generator, substantially as specified.
The generator E, formed as a hollow box with partitions e and a double inclined bottom, 6, in combination with the pipes for supplying liquid hydrocarbon and superheated steam into such generator and commingling the same within the generator, pipes for conveying away the inflammable gases, and perforated pipes below the generator, from which the gases issue and are burned beneath the generator and the superheating-pipes, substantially as'specified.
4. The generator E, having within it the partitions c, in combination with the tubular legs L, for supporting the generator, the perforated pipes Q, for the issuing gas that is burned to heat the generator, and the superheating steam-pipes N, passing across below the generator, substantially as specified.
5. The generator E, having a double i11- clined bottom, in combination with the oilsupply pipes and the pipe for superheated steam, both discharging downwardly, so that the combination of the steam and hydrocarbon vapors is promoted by contact with the heated interior of the generator, substantially as specified.
