Title: A Combined Liquid Fuel Pressure Furnace and Steam Generator.
Inventor: NICOLSON JOHN THOMAS
Filed: 1902-08-30
Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 19,047. Nicolson, J. T., and McLean, W. B. Aug. 30. Steam generation by direct contact of combustion products; superheaters, steam.-Fig. 1 shows an arrangement for the combustion of liquid fuel under pressure, and the generation of steam, the combustion products and the steam being mixed for use in a motor. Water is sent through the annular jackets h<3>, h', from which it enters a series of spaces h<1> made up of annular broken rings, and is there superheated. Thence it emerges in the central chamber e through the ports h, where it is met by ignited liquid-fuel vapour. The mixture passes round the baffle j and over a broken mass of refractory material k, and, after shedding its heavy impurities through the passage l, reaches the space n, from which it is drawn on the raising of the valve o to drive, for instance, the piston g. The air for the combustion of the liquid fuel is forced, in the example shown, through the valves f by means of the piston g. Thence, by the pipe f<1> and passage f, it escapes to the chamber e by the annulus c. The fuel enters by the inlet a, and circulates through the coil b, before it reaches the mixing-space e. Refractory material may be applied as at p and be employed also for lining the walls of the furnace portion. Before the apparatus is working, air may be forced in by an aperture near the oil inlet and a portable heater placed in the cavity d. Instead of allowing combustion to take place within the chamber e, it may be carried on in a coil situated concentrically to and within the spaces h<1>, one end of such coil communicating with the oil and air passages b, c respectively, and the other end being situated at or near the position of the steam outlet h.
