GAS GENERATOR.
Patented sept. lo, 1895.
(No Model.)
UNrrED STnrns nrnNr rrrcn MICHAEL L. MERY, OF CHICO, CALIFORNIA.
GAS-G ENERATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 546,175, dated September 10, 1895.
Application filed June 14,1895. Serial Il 552,839. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MICHAEL L. MERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chico, Butte county, State of California, have invented an Improvement in GasGeneralors; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of thesame.
-My invention relates .to that class of gasgenerators adapted to be used in connection with explosive engines in which the heat is supplied by the exhaust from the engine itself.
My invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the generator, which I shall hereinafter fully describe and specilically claim.
The object of myinvention is to provide a simple and effective device for generating gas either' from gasoline, coal-oil, or crude petroleum by means of heat supplied by an explosive vapor-engine.
Referring to the accompanying drawing for a more complete explanation of my invention, the ligure is a vertical section of no y generator.
A is the outside shell or casing of the generator provided with a bottom d, in which is a controllable drip-pipe a and a top a2, in which are suitable air-vents d3. YVithin and concentric with this outer shell is an inner wall B, separated from the outer shell, so as to leave an annular chamber or space, the lower portion of which is bounded by a diaphragm Z2, which sustains a quantity of coke or other suitable material C, by which the moisture in the gas generated is .absorbed as it passes on its way to the engine.
W'ithin the interior space of the generator is the evaporator D, which consists of double or reversed cones hollow and connected at the lower end with the exhaust-pipe E from the engine, and at the upper end with the discharge-pipe F. A drip inlet-pipe G for the oil passes through the top a2 of the generator and is adapted to discharge the oil directly upon the upper inclined surface of the upper cone. Around the inverted or lower surface of each cone and separated therefrom so as to leave an annular space or passage is a directing-funnel Il, lthe upper edge of which is secured to the inner wall of the generator, and its lower edge terminates short of the upper surface of the adjacent cone.
I is a supply-pipe from the generator to the engine.
J are the brauch pipes of the exhaust, and j is an air-inlet valve, said branch pipes and air-inlet valve forming part of my previous application for a patent, Serial No, 53713403, led February 7, 1895.
The operation of the generator is as follows: The oil is supplied through the drip-pipe and falls upon the upper surface of the uppermoet cone. Upon this it is distributed or spread out and flows down to and upon the upper funnel, in the passage formed by which it flows on down past the reverse or under surface of the cone to the upper surface of the second cone. Down this it flows to the second funnel, and so on, being directed by the funnels to and in contact with the inclined surfaces of the cones, so that by these funnels the oil is kept in contact with the entire heated surface of the cone instead of dropping from one upper surface to the other, as would be the case if the funnels were not present. In this way a very extensive heated surface is provided by which the oil is vaporized before it reaches the bottom, and as gas it passes up through the coke in the annular space between the outer shell and inner wall, in which it is deprived of its moisture, and is thence delivered to the engine. The exhaust from the engine itself supplies the heat to vaporize the oil.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and ldesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A gas generator for explosive engines, consisting of a casing or shell having an exit pipe, hollow double or reversed cones mounted within the casing or shell, and having an exit pipe, funnels parallel with and separated from the inverted or lower surface of the cones, whereby the oil flowing from the upper surfaces is caught and directed down between the funnels and the inverted or lower surfaces, and an oil feed pipe entering the shell and adapted to direct the oilto the cones, said casing or shell having a circuniscribing space in open communication with its interior, to forni a passage for the escape of the gas to the engine.
2. A gas generator for explosive engines,
IOC
comprising an outer casing or shell, an inner Wall concentric With the outer casing or shell and separated therefrom to leave an annular space which said space has a communication with the engine and With the interior of the generator, absorbent material in said space, double or reversed cones mounted within the casing or shell, and having a communication with the exhaust of the engine, funnels parallel with and separated from the inverted or lower surface 0f the cones whereby the oil owing yfrom the upper surfaces is caught and directed down between the funnels and the inverted or lower surfaces, and an oil feed pipe entering the shell and adapted to direct 15 the oil to the cones.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
