[Class 7 (iii).] The flow of fuel from a float chamber 18 to the main jet 31a is thermostatically controlled to restrict the flow as the temperature of the fuel rises and its viscosity is lessened. A passage 49 in a jet 48 leading from the float chamber to the base of the main jet has a bi-metallic strip 50 located adjacent to its inset ends ; as the temperature of the fuel rises the strip approaches the jet until a hole 59, Fig. 2, of smaller diameter than that of the passage 49, register with the passage as the strip contacts with the end of the jet. The strip 50 is so supported that it may be moved laterally, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the maximum restriction to the flow of fuel may be adjusted by varying the position of the edge of the strip. From the base of the main jet the fuel enters a well 22 from which it is drawn through an orifice 43 into the lower end of a slow-running byepass 33. An adjustable port 37 admits air to the byepass. The main jet 31a discharges into a stand-pipe 23, aerating air supplied by a passage 25 being admitted through perforations 32 in the wall of the jet. A primary mixture is formed by the admission of air through a port 27 located at the base of the stand pipe 23.

Abstract: 810,477. Solid fuel furnaces. DEUTSCHE KOHLENBERGBAU-LEITUNG. May 4, 1955 [Jan. 26, 1955], No. 12886/55. Class 51 (1). Solid fuel is burnt in a furnace chamber, from which the ash is continually removed by agitation of the fuel bed, in the presence of a mixture of recycled gaseous combustion products and air, the oxygen content of which is about 15 to 17 per cent by volume. In a boiler, fuel from a hopper 1, Fig. 1, drops into a chamber 2 whilst primary air passes transversely through the fuel bed and secondary air is introduced at 6 into a chamber 5. Combustion products are drawn through a duct 9 having a valve 11 from a gas pass 8 by a fan 10 and recycled, via ducting 14, to the chamber 2, a duct controlled by a valve 12 feeding air to mix with the products. The recycled products may be automatically or manually varied by controlling the fan 10 or valves 11, 12, such control depending either upon the boiler exit temperature of the products or upon the boiler or furnace output given, e.g. by the amount of steam generated or hot water supplied and the primary air supplied, respectively. Control may also depend upon the oxygen content of the mixture either automatically under the control of an oxygen analyser or manually by use of an oxygen gauge. Water, thermostatically controlled, may be automatically injected into the recycled products when the temperature of the latter exceeds a predetermined amount. The furnace grate 3 may have fixed bars 16, Fig. 2, alternating with bars 17 which are shaken by being pivotally attached at 18, 19, to reciprocable bars 20, 21.

In a reversible regenerative furnace, each regenerator 1, 2 in which fuel gas is heated has a fuel gas inlet passage 5, 6 and associated means 9, 10 for controlling the flow of fuel gas to it, an exhaust gas outlet flue 17, a re-cycling flue 19, 20 connected at one end to the outlet flue 17, and at the other end to the inlet passage 19, 20, and a single valve member 13, 14 controlling the connection of the outlet and recycling flues to the inlet passage. In a heating cycle the re-cycling and outlet flues are disconnected and fuel gas is supplied to an inlet passage, and upon reversal the fuel gas supply is stopped and the valve member is operated so that first the re-cycling flue only and then the outlet flue only is connected to the inlet passage. In this way the fuel gas remaining in the regenerator chamber at the time of reversal is forced into the furnace by combustion products drawn from the outlet flue 17 by a blower 18 in the re-cycling flue. The recycling flues 19, 20 are superposed on branches of the outlet flue 17, and the valve member 13 is slidable and has an aperture 21 to connect the re-cycling flue to the inlet passage. The valve member 13 and the valve controlling the fuel gas supply are actuated by the same motor through a cable 23.
