Apparatus for Spraying or Atomising Combustible Liquids, and
Mixing the same with Air.
I, OTTOCAR LINDEMANN, of No. 53, Victoria Street, London, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention (as communicated to me from abroad by Ernest Körting,
of No. 2, Allee Strasse, Hanover, Germany), and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be, particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention has for its object to effect the spraying or atomising to a very
great degree of fineness, of combustible liquids supplied under pressure, to mix.
the same with air, and to project such mixture into a combustion chamber.
The construction of the apparatus for this purpose is shewn on the accompanying
drawing in which Fig. 1 shews a vertical section and Fig. 2 a part plan and part
cross section. It consists of the sprayer or atomiser proper a having a conical
passage in which is a needle a¹, the casing band the cylindrical base c with air
nozzle d arranged in front of the sprayer a and fixed to the casing b; the conical jet
of combustible liquid under pressure issuing from the sprayer draws air through
this nozzle, as shewn by the arrows and thereby produces a jet of combustible
mixture.
As the proper inclination at which the combustible is thrown on to the plate of
the combustion chamber (which may be of any known arrangement) is of great
importance for the proper combustion of the liquid fuel, the casing 6 of the
spraying apparatus can be turned upon trunnions e and f so as to assume positions
relatively to the base c. The one trunnion such as e, is made hollow so as to
constitute the supply channel for the combustible liquid, to the interior of the
chamber the passage having an internal screw thread for attachment of supply
pipe.
The vessel having been turned on its trunnions into the exact required position
it is secured by the jam-nuts g and h screwed on the threaded ends of the
trunnions. The vessel b is closed at top by a cover i pressed down by a pivotted
stirrup screw k so as to be readily removeable for gaining access to the interior of
the sprayer in case of defective action.
The sprayer is protected against obstruction by solid matter in the oil by being
surrounded by a finely perforated or wire gauze cylindrical sieve l.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. Apparatus for spraying or atomising combustible liquid consisting of a closed
casing or chamber supplied with combustible liquid and mounted on trunnions,
which vessel contains a spraying device with special air nozzle for effecting the
nixture of the sprayed liquid with atmospheric air, substantially as described.
2. In apparatus for spraying combustible liquids, the combination of the.
casing b, mounted on trunnions e f of which one is hollow for the admission of the

page_text: liquid, a sprayer or atomiser a mounted within the casing b, and an air nozzle d
fixed to the chamber b in front of the sprayer a, substantially as described.
Dated this 10th day of March 1898.
