Abstract: 716,416. Wick burners. HENRICI, H., GERCKEN, D., and BUSSE, H. Dec. 2, 1952 [March 14, 1952], No. 30562/52. Class 75 (1) In a wick burner, particularly for use in absorption refrigerating machines, the wick, held in an annular wick socket, has a suction or conveying wick portion, e.g. of cotton, and a non-combustible burning wick portion of graphite. In the illustrated embodiment the burning wick portion 34 comprises graphite encased in a textile jacket and is disposed in the mouth of a wick holder 10, 11, and the feed wick portion 20, which depends into a liquid fuel tank 4 is held by a ring 19 vertically adjustable by a rack 18 and a pinion 17 carried by a spindle 15 having an operating handwheel 16. The rate of burning may thus be adjusted by varying the pressure of the feed wick portion 20 on the burning wick portion 34. The latter may alternatively comprise two or more graphite rings. The spindle 15 is mounted in a sleeve 12 and may be secured in its set position by tightening a nut 14 on the outer end of the sleeve 12 to cause a compressible element 13 to grip the spindle 15. The inner end of the sleeve 12 is mounted in the outer cylinder 10 of the wick holder 10, 11, and the sleeve 12 passes also through an inclined slot 21 in a wick guide tube 7 surrounding the wick holder, and along which the sleeve 12 may be moved to adjust the height of the burning wick portion 34. The sleeve 12 may be actuated from a distance by means of a rod linkage. A cooling ring 25 provided with fins 24 surrounds the upper end of the guide 7 for conducting heat away from the vicinity of the wick portion 34. The burner head comprises two coaxial upwardly divergent combustion tubes 27, 28 having radial fins 29, 30, respectively, supporting the tube 27 on the tube 28, and the tube 28 on the inner wall of a protective cap 31 supported by a perforated plate 26 having a neck portion fitting into the guide tube 7. The cap 31 is encased in insulating material and provided with a heat insulated handle 32. A central air supply tube 9 extends through the tank 4 and the wick holder 10, 11.

Abstract: The cargo ship has a cooling system provided with cooling channels (10) for air circulation. The ship can be loaded with both refrigerated containers (11) and mixed-cargo, the mixed cargo being stored on double-bottomed supporting decks (16) insertable into the ship. When the ship loaded with refrigerated containers (11), the cooling channels (10) are connected via flexible coupling pieces (7) to air-inlet and -outlet orifices (12 and 13) of the containers. The cooling channels (10) are also connected via closable orifices (15) to air circulation channels (14, 14a) which are in communication with the interior of the double-bottomed supporting decks (16) (see Fig. 4). When double-bottomed decks (16) are used and the ship is loaded with a mixed cargo, the orifices (12) are closed, the orifices (13) remain open, and the orifices (15) are opened to the channels (14), so that air from the cooling columns (10) now enters decks (16) via the channels (14). The air flows out from the orifices of the decks (16) into the cargo hold (4) and circulates around, returning via orifices (13). <IMAGE>
