Inventor: PETTER ERNEST WILLOUGHBY
Filed: 1909-04-07
Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 8437. Petter, E. W. April 7. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel.-To .prevent the fuel'in the main fuel tank from freezing in cold climates, a portion is pumped through a heating- chamber, whence the whole or a part of this warmed oil is returned to the main tank. This tank A contains a receiver consisting of concentric vessels M, N, the annular space between which is closed at the bottom but communicates with the vessel N through holes. A pump C draws oil from the chamber N and delivers it to a chamber E heated by the exhaust gases or By contact with the cylinder. The heated oil is then preferably supplied in excess to the vaporizer or engine-supply cup I, the overflow being returned by a pipe J to the annular space K of the receiver, whence it enters the inner vessel N. As a modification a second chamber E may be used, through which fuel is pumped and returned to the tank A. In a further modification, the fuel is sent through one chamber E and is returned to the tank A, the cup I being supplied direct from the tank.

Title: A New or Improved Carburettor for Explosion Engines.
Filed: 1909-04-29
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 10,212. Daimler Motoren-Ges. May 8, 1908, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors in which a governor-actuated piston valve controls simultaneously the main air, the supplementary air, and the mixture, and in which the supplementary air is cut off both at high and at low speeds, the piston valve is provided with ports to control the mixture supply, and actuates a second ported valve. A casing a surrounds a ported fixed liner b, within which slides a piston valve c and a governor-actuated valve d both of which are ported. At starting, the valve d is raised so that the flange j closes the supplementaryair passages k, l, and the mixture passage h is throttled by the valve c, which is raised by the valve d. Under normal loads, the parts take up the positions shown, and supplementary air flows only through the passage l. On a decrease of speed, the valve d is raised, the mixture passage q is further opened and the valve c slightly raised, thus opening the passage k. On a further decrease of speed, the valves d, c are both lifted, the mixture passage h is throttled, and the supplementaryair passages k, l are closed by the flange j, thus giving a rich mixture. When running light, the valve d is lowered, the passage k is closed at o, the mixture passage q is throttled, the passage l is controlled by the valve d, and the passage around the nozzle g is reduced. Specification 1696A/07, is referred to.

Fire - bars and grates. - A furnace grate is composed of rocking fire-bars in the form of troughs adapted to carry small cross - pieces, which are separated by suitable distancing lugs to allow air and steam to pass from the trough to the f u e l. In the arrangement shown, the bars A are formed with trunnions a, a<2> and are supported in front and rear bearings b, b<2>. Depending arms e are connected by a link so that the bars forming the grate can be rocked simultaneously by a suitable set of levers. In the case of a Lancashire boiler, the operating - handle is mounted between the furnaces and a hooked connecting- link is provided so that the bars of either grate can be rocked. The forward ends of the bars are of injector form, and steam nozzles d are fitted so that air can be forced into the troughs. The crosspieces C, which are held in position by undercut portions of the trough, are slipped on at the front end of the bar, and are secured by a filling-piece h. The latter is firmly fixed, to prevent the removal of the cross-pieces, by bolts h<2> and pins h<3>. In a modified form of cross-piece, the sides are inclined to the fuel surface.
