HYDROCARBON-VAPORIZER FOR EXPLOSlVE-ENGINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 644,027, dated February 20, 1900.

Application filed September 18,1899. Serial No. 730,890. (N model.)

as an explosive mixture into the explosion- T0 (tZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I,WILLIAM BAINES, a subject of the Queen of England, residing at London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vaporizers for Interrial-Combustion Engines, (for which I have made application in Great Britain under No. 18,961, dated September 5, 1898,) of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to a vaporizer forinternal-combustion engines, adapted also to serve as a silencer for the exhaust-gases from the engine; and among the objects in View is to provide a device of the described character whereby the exhaustgases from the engine are caused to pass therethrough and at the same timeheat the hydrocarbon to be vaporized whether the latter is mixed with the air or not. Thus the heat of the exhaust is utilized for vaporizing the hydrocarbon and mixing it with the air in a manner peculiarly suitable for the heavier mineral oils, while the temperature of the exhaust is reduced, causing less noise and smell.

The invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, as hereinafter described, illustrated in the drawings, and pointed outin the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is asectional view, partly in elevation, of a device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an elevation, partly in section, on line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

My vaporizer, which also performs the f unction of an exhaust-silencer, comprises a casing D, having a casing F secured thereto at one end, the two forming practically one casing and the construction being such that the exhaust-gases entering the silencer at the inlet D impinge on the dividing-wall F, which is arranged as shown, whereby to form the chamber F. The chamber F is divided by a horizontal septum F into two compartments F F communicating at F The oil and the air are admitted into the upper chamber F through the inlet-tube F pass into the lower chamber F and being heated and vaporized in these chambers by the exhaust-gases pass chamber of the motor through the outlet F which is in practice to be connected in any suitable manner to the inlet-valve of the motor.

Desirably the exhaust-gases pass from the casing D into the atmosphere through an asbestos cloth, as shown at D It is evident that the chamber F may, if desired, be divided into more than two compartments by additional septa, such as F*, so as to give greater length of travel to the mixture of oil and air.

That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In a device of the character described, the combination with the casing of an exhaust-silencer, having an inlet at one end for admission of exhaust-gases and an outlet at .the opposite end for the said gases, of a partition F within the casing, a second partition F forming the chambers F F com municating with each other at one end, the chamber F communicating with an inlet for the explosive charge, and the chamber F communicating with an outlet for the said charge.

2. In a device of the characterdescribed, the combination with the casing of an exhaust-silencer comprising the casing D having an outlet at one end for exhaust-gases, and a casing F secured to the casing D at one end and provided at the opposite end with an inlet for admission of the exhaustgases, of a partition F within the casing F and a partition F forming two chambers F F communicating at one end with each other through opening W, said chamber F communicatin g at the opposite end with the inlet for the oil and air and the corresponding end of chamber F communicating with the outlet for the vaporized oil and air.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM BAINES.
