Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 5320. Hudson, J. C. March 6. Liquid and gaseous fuel furnaces.-Relates to oil and vapour burners which are supplied with steam or air under pressure, and to their application to the furnaces of steam boilers. Fig. 1 shows the burners as applied to a steam fire.engine, Fig. 2 showing details in section. Steam jets from pipes B are used in conjunction with oil jets C, the nozzles and extremities of the pipes to which the respective nozzles are attached being shown as within the boiler fire-box A and directed towards the fans D, which also act as deflectors. The oil supply is carried in the tank F, whence it may flow by gravitation or by pressnre due to air forced into the oil tank by the hand-pump G or by the engineworked pump H, or pressure due to air supplied from the cylinder I. Suitable independently-actuated valves control the respective supplies. The steam supply may be superheated in the chamber E or in coils in the furnace. In similar coils, the oil may be vaporized. In Fig. 2, the superheater is shown consisting of an internal pipe M, from which the steam escapes to the space within the concentric pipe N and to the outlets C below. When desired, the oil may be vaporized within the coil 0. The sets of jets may be arranged annularly and radially, instead of being placed in close proximity with each other and the central superheater. The central position may be occupied by an air trunk, which is capped by an overhanging deflecting-plate, and is perforated near its upper end and provided with a throttle valve below. In this case, the open lower end of the firebox may be fitted with a perforated plate, and the oil, steam, or air nozzles arranged around the lower edge of the firebox. The deflector may take various forms ; for instance, it may be constructed with serrated edges, or with revolving fan vanes, or may consist of plain or perrorated flat plates. The Specification also describes, with the aid of a Figure, the application of the arrangement to a water-tube boiler.

Figs. 4 and 5 show, in section, views at right-angles to each other of a burner with four branches. Fig. 6 shows an automatic fuel regulator and Fig. 7 a modification of the same. Each of the branches consists of a tube 1, which is fitted with nozzles 2 and is contained within a trough 3, which is arranged above the air-supplying base 5. The air entering the base by the trumpet-mouth 6 escapes to the burners by perforations 4. The burners discharge into the casings or sheaths 7, which form single bunsen burners common to the jets on the same branch. The sinuous vaporizing- tube 14 is arranged above the burners. By means of the two-way cock 11, or by an equivalent double-plug valve, a pilot-jet is ignited immediately before the burners are extinguished. On a relighting of the burners, the pilot-jet is shut off. On the pressure of fuel to the burners becoming too great as it traverses the burnersupply passage connected to the pipes 16, 17, Fig. 6, it depresses the spring-pressed piston 22 and allows the fuel to escape to the reservoir by the bye-pass 26. Fuel leaking round the piston is conducted away by the pipe 25. The piston rings 21 are acted upon by the spring 23 and by the pressure of the fuel. The test-cock 27 is provided. Fig. 7 shows the modification for use with burners of small size. The fuel, after passing the filter 30, presses upon the valve 3t. The spring is coiled about the spindles 33, 34, the latter forming part of a plug screwed into the casing. Pressure gauges are represented at 37.
