JACOB HEILBRQN, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.
HYDROCARBON VAPORIZER AND BURNER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 562,961, dated June 30, 1896.
Application filed July 31, 1894. Serial No. 519,107. (No model.)
T0 all whom it 7oz/ay concern:
Be it known that 1, JACOB HEILBRON, of St. Paul, Ramsey county, Minnesota, have invented certain Improvements in Hydrocarbon Vaporizers and Burners, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in vapor-burners of that class wherein a curved metallic plate is arranged in front of the jetopening to serve as a deflector, and to produce a better illuminating-name; its obj ect being to provide simple and efficient means for the thorough vaporizing of low-grade oils from the heat of the burner-name.
To this end my invention consists in forming within the walls of the deecting-body, underneath the flame-j et, a substantially cylindrical chamber communicating with the source of fuel supply and serving as a generating-chamber. W'ithin the curved portion of the deflecting-body, or that directly in front of the jet-opening and where the heat from the flame is most intense, I arrange a second chamber to serve as a retort or superheatingchamber, which is separated from the generating-chamber by a wall or partition. This partition is perforated with one or more small openings near the top of the generating-chamber, thus furnishing communication between it and the retort. A larger centrallyarranged openingthrough the partition receives the end of a plug or core which is arranged in the generating-chamber, and which has an axial opening connecting the retort with the jet-opening. By this means the oil admitted to the generating-chamber has its more volatile portions near the top first and more completely vaporized, the vapors being forced by expansion through the small openings into the retort, where the vaporizing process is perfected. Thence the vapor is passed through the opening in the core or plug in the generating-chamber to the jet. The heavier parts and impurities of the fuel are thus retained in the bottom of the generating-chamber and cannot pass at all to the retort nor serve to clog the jet-opening.
My invention further consists in the specific features of construction hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved burner, the interior construction being indicated by dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the plug or core arranged in the generating-chamber. Fig. 4is a cross-section of the burner on line a; .fr of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a cross-section of the same on line y y of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the core or plug shown with its circumferential grooves filled with asbestos packing; and Fig. 7 is a cross-section of the same, showing the packing.
In the drawings, A represents the body of the burner; 2, the generating-chamber, substantially cylindrical in form; 3,A the superheating-chamber or retort, the upper wall of these chambers forming the flame deflector and spreader; and 4 is the vapor-passage to the burner. A
The generating-chamber and retort are separated by the partition or wall 6. This has a centrally-arranged opening 7, into which the end of the core or plug 5, arranged in the generating-chamber, fits. It is also provided near the .top with the small perforations 8, through which the gas generated in the chamber 2 passes into the retort. The plug 5 has an axial opening 9 from the end toward the retort to near its other end, where it turns laterall y and registers with the small passage 10, which leads to the vapor-passage 4, when the core is turned and secured in place by the pin 11 being brought within the inner bevel of the lug 12. By this means the gas from the retort is carried to the vapor-passage 4 only when the plug is properly secured in place. The liquid hydrocarbon is introduced into the generating-chamber 2 by means of the pipe 13, screwed into the threaded opening 14 in theside of the chamber. At the end of the vapor-passage 4 is the jet 15, controlled by the pointed valve 16 in the ordinary manner. Both the plug 5 and valve 16 have preferably squared projecting ends, by means of which they may be tted or adjusted by the use of a key or wrench. The plug Y5 is preferably circumferen tially grooved to increase its heatradiating capacity, and also to lserve to retard the passage of the oil and gas in the generating-chamber and furnish surfaces on which the impurities are deposited. In some cases I prefer to ill the grooves in the plug with IOO asbestos or some other absorbent material to serve as a cleansing agent for the oil.
Pivoted upon the top of the burner A, over the jet 15, is the air-mixer 17, extending over the deflector and having depending flanges or side wings to partially inclose the intermediate space and furnish means for the admixture of air with the gas as it issues through the jet, there being a narrow opening between the end of the air-mixer plate and the Wall of the deflector, through which the flame issues in fiattened form. It will thus be seen that the heat from the flame conducted through the wall beneath serves to partially vaporize the oil in the generating-chamber. The vapors are forced by the expansion through the narrow perforations into the superheatingchamber-where they are raised to a very high temperature-from which chamber the only means of escape is the axial opening through the plug in the generating-chamber, thence to the flame-jet. I thus secure a vapor in the best possible condition for combustion, nothing but vapors being admitted to the retort, and avoid the carrying to the jetopening of any imperfectly-vaporized fuel.
