Title: Improvements in Vapour Lamps or Burners.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
IPC: F23D99/00
Filed: 1909-08-30
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 19,870. Haddan, H. J., [Conner, H. M., and Burney, W. A.]. Aug. 30. Atmospheric vapour burners ; vaporizing-apparatus ; burners, attaching.-Relates to that class of lamp in which an auxiliary heating-chamber is interposed between the vaporizer and the airmixing chamber. The lamp is designed to burn kerosene efficiently ; but it can also be used with gasoline or other hydrocarbons. The improvements include a subsidiary burner for vaporizing the fuel, which comprises a removable perforated cylinder, and an anti-puleator. The oil flows from a reservoir through a wire tube 12, Fig. 2, and a narrow passage 16 controlled by a needle valve 23, to the vaporizer 19, which is located in the heating-zone of the burner. The vapour then passes through a nozzle 30 to the chamber 5 having lateral openings 25 through which air is drawn, and then through the pipes 4, 3 into the casting 7, thence through the opening 9 into the burner tube 10. The exit end of the vaporizer 19 is surrounded by a removable perforated brass cylinder 20, which is connected to the casting 7 by a pipe 8. Vapour passes through the cylinder 20 in fine jets, and is ignited within it. The vaporizer 19 contains a rod 32 around which is wrapped an asbestos cord to form a cylinder 27 which acts as an auti-pulsator. The vaporizer 19 also contains a wire screen 33 closed at its inner end by an asbestos plug which prevents any precipitate in the oil from reaching the burner tip. In a modified construction, any suitable number of heating-chambers 20 are provided. In the construction illustrated by Fig. 5, a globular casing 6<a> contains a removable perforated cylinder 20, which is disposed around the vapour-generator 19. The vapour passes from the generator to the air-mixing chamber, and thence through the pipes 3<a>, 4" to the chamber 6<a> and burner tubes. An alcohol cup 37" contains saturated asbestos fibre covered by a wire gauze 38<a>. The upper end of the vaporizer 19 is surrounded by a casing 38 closed by perforated caps 39, 40, of which the upper is screwed on the part 15. Adjustable tie rods 42 connect the caps 39, 40, and their upper ends are threaded. These tie-rods serve not only to bind the parts together, but, in conjunction with the cap 39, provide for the adjustment of the discharge end of the generator with respect to the air-mixing chamber. When gasoline or like hydrocarbon is used, the cylinder 20 is removed.
