Abstract: 950,088. Liquid fuel burners. BABCOCK & WILCOX Ltd. Sept. 16, 1960 [Sept. 16, 1959], No. 31952/60. Heading F4T. A liquid fuel burner comprises two coaxially arranged atomizer nozzles 12, 13 providing a high and a low rate of burning and adapted to be displaced alternately between advanced operative and retracted inoperative positions. The low rate nozzle 13 is a pressuro atomizer and comprises a swirl chamber 24 with tangential fuel inlets 16; alternatively the low rate nozzle may use steam for atomising the fuel. The high rate nozzle 12 uses steam for atomising the fuel and comprises an annular sprayer plate 33, an annular intermediate plate 34 and an annular terminal member 31 to which fuel is supplied by two diametrically opposite tubes 29 and steam is supplied by two diametrically opposite tubes 30 (Fig. 5 is a section on perpendicular planes and consequently shows a tube 29 and a tube 30). The fuel tubes 29 communicate with arcuate recesses 47 in the terminal member 31 and the steam tubes 30 communicate with arcuate recesses 46 in the terminal member 31. The intermediate plate 34 is pierced with two circular series of bores 44, 45 which register with the recesses 46, 47 respectively and convey the steam to an annular space 41 and the fuel to an annular channel 43. The fuel then passes along inwardly leading passages 42 which intercept outwardly directed discharge passages 35 extending from the annular steam space 41. The fuel and steam tubes 29, 30 are secured to a member 14 held to a coupling 49 by a pivoted yoke 51 and a screw 50. Steam and fuel hoses are connected to the coupling 49. The fuel supply tube 21 for the pressure atomizer 13 extends through an axial aperture 48 in the member 14 to a member 15 held to a coupling 61 by a pivoted yoke 63 and a screw 62. A fuel hose is connected to the coupling 61. A fuel rack 72 is connected to the coupling 49 for the steam atomizer burner 12 and a rack 73 is connected to the coupling 61. for the pressure atomizer 13 and a pinion 75 driven by an electric motor engages both lacks. Rotation of the motor therefore advances one burner and simultaneously retracts the other. The motor is stopped by limit switches operated by strikers 86, 87 on the two racks 72, 73. A fixed impeller 67 and an axially adjustable impeller 88 are provided. The air supply is controlled by an air register 5 having pivoted doors 9 operated by a handle 11. Specifications 579,591 and 943,223 are referred to.
