Composition fuel.-A fuel mixture is heated by direct contact with hot air or other gas, or both, and a regulable proportion of steam, in a closed pug, retort, &c. constructed so that the gas and steam can only escape in company with the composition, which iscooled before being moulded. As shown in Fig. 1, the feed and discharge passages C, C' of the pug D, and the outlet C" from a cooler M may be provided with means, such as conveyers B, B', B", arranged so as to produce plugs of composition which seal the apparatus. The hot air, furnace or flue gases, &c. may be forced in by steam jets from a flue at one side of the pug D. A by-pass pipe R provided with a safety-valve R' may connect the pug and the cooler so as to enable any desired pressure to be maintained in the pug. The pug D may comprise a vertical cylinder containing apertured shelves around which the composition, broken up at the top of the pug, is swept by arms on a vertical shaft. At its lower end, the shaft carries pngging-knives G or the like. The level of the composition in the lower part of the pug is indicated by continuously-rotating horizontal shafts L bearing inclined blades l, which, when covered by the composition, move the shafts endways against the action of weights L<2>. The pug may be surrounded by heatinsulating material, or by a jacket traversed by hot air or other gases, steam, or both, from an independent source. The cooler M is constructed similarly to the upper part of the pug, but is provided either with a jacket or with coiled pipes Q on the underside of each shelf. In another arrangement, the pug D, Fig. 3, is open at the top, but enclosed in a jacket T, into which the gases are injected by steam jets from nozzles 1. Rows of arms or knives U are mounted on horizontal shafts U<1> so that the paths of the arms on horizontally adjacent, and optionally on vertically adjacent shafts, overlap each other. In a third form, the pug is a long horizontal cylinder with an axial shaft carrying inclined vanes, the gases being injected from a jacket. The constituents of the fuel may be ground coal and pitch, pitch and tar, creosote oil, or other hydrocarbons. Specifications 682/96, 6853/96. [Class 87, Moulding &c.], 7905/00, 7871/03, 23,555/09, and 29,220/11 are referred to.
