The gasifying-apparatus (a) is filled with Masut, introduced through the feed-
pipe fitted to its cover, whereupon the air-pump (b) is set in motion and the
following operation takes place :
The vacuum produced by the air-pump, draws through a tube (c), hot air out of
the fire-box. The tube (e) is branching above the gasifying-apparatus into several
smaller tubes (e), combined by a hollow ring (g). The latter is fitted with many
small connexion tubes (/) to the gasifying-apparatus, so that the hot air is passing
through the liquid Masut, gasifying it. The thus produced mixture of air and
gasified Masut is further sucked by means of the vacuum, produced by the
air-pump (b), and then pressed forward through a tube (4) into the compression
basin ().
(1) is a manometer. After passing the reducting-valve (m), united with the
manometer (n), the mixture of gas is conducted by the tubes (o 1) and (o 2) to the
burner (p).
The reduction of the pressure by means of the compression-basin (i) and its
reducting-valve (m) is necessary for the regulation and a uniform burning of the
flame. In the direction of the vertical axis of the burner (p) there are applied
conical ground out joining-pieces (v) admitting the ground-in terminals of the
tubes (o 1) and (o 2).
Near the nozzle-shaped end of the burner the gas-mixture escapes under corre-
sponding pressure. In the longitudinal axis of the burner is fitted the shaft (a),

page_text: adjustable by a spindle and a hand-wheel (H) which in the direction of the arrow
conveys the air-to the flame produced.
The shaft (r) passes through the back (y) of the burner () by means of a
spindle and the stuffing-box (2).
Should more air be required for combustion it can be supplied to the flame
produced by ordinary clack-valves (r).
The thin flame issuing thereupon from the burner takes its way towards the fire-
bridge (s), where a nearly complete combustion will occur. For the protection of
the water-side of the boiler against the hot-fire gases it is covered with fire-proof
plates (!).
The proper height of the burner (y) can be determined and adjusted on erecting
the apparatus. With a view to attain at all events, that the thin flame strikes
against the middle of the fire-bridge, it will be convenient to fit the burner as
shown in Fig. 8 that is to say adjustable by horizontal movement.
Instead of Marut any other material answering the purpose may be utilized.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :
1. Boiler-heating by means of substances proper for gasifying, through which an
air-pump or any similar device sucks a current of air heated by waste heat or in
any other appropriate manner, for carburations sake, conveying it further on to
the fire-place of the boiler where the mixture of gas obtained is ignited in the
shape of a pear-shaped thin flame, inside and outside touched by a current of air.
2. A burner suitable for the heating installation described in Claim 1,
characterized by its nozzle-shaped opening with central-air-canal (e), which fitted
with hand-wheel effects the regulation of the escape of the gas, together with a
bedding constituted by the conduits vertically introduced from above and below,
admitting of a horizontal rotation and consequent control of the direction of the
originated thin flame.
