An Improved Apparatus for the Vaporization of Petroleum, Ligroin,
Spirit, or the like.
I, CARL AUGUST GREEN, of Handtverkaregatan 22 B, Stockholm, in the
Kingdom of Sweden, Work Foreman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
-
This invention relates to apparatus for vaporization of petroleum, ligroin, spirit
or the like, which is very useful for burners of lamps.
In the annexed drawing are shown some forms of construction of this invention.
A ring a of sheet metal (Figs. 1 and 2) is so bent together, that the inner and
the exterior border approach one another, leaving an opening cover the thus
formed tubular and circular vaporization chamber. In the parallel upwardly bent
borders bare made slits at certain distances from one another, so that points b are
produced. In Figs. 3, 4 and 5, 6 these points are formed by radially arranged
pieces of sheet metal soldered on the vaporization chamber, and project above
the ring a.
In Figs. 5 and 6 the upper slot opening of the vaporization chamber is replaced
by holes c, which are arranged between the plates 6. In Fig. 7 and 8 the points
are formed by metal rods b, which are guided by the above provided annular
opening and project above the ring and are soldered with their under ends
on the bottom of the vaporization chamber a. These rods are preferably made
of a material with greater property of conducting heat than the walls of the
vaporization chamber. They can be insulated from the vaporization chamber or can
be in metallic connection therewith. Extremely vivacious vaporization, is thus
obtained as the rods are surrounded by the liquid, whilst in other vaporization
chambers the evaporization is only effected on the exterior sides of the volumes of
liquid (or round the same). According to Fig. 9 and 10 the same purpose is
obtained by means of a plate b which is introduced into the slot opening and
extends above the vaporization chamber a and is provided on the top with slots
and is either laid loosely upon the bottom of the chamber or is soldered thereto.
The vaporization chamber forms a tubular and circular space of round or
angular section. It is provided on the top with one or more openings c, through
which the gas intended for the combustion escapes. At the openings c the metal
points 6 arranged in the one or other manner, when heated by the burning gas
escaping, through the openings, give heat to the sides and the bottom of the
chamber, for the purpose of vaporizing the liquid therein or fed thereto.

I, CARL AUGUST GREEN, Work Foreman, of Handtverkaregatan 22 B, Stock-
holm, Sweden, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention relates to apparatus for vaporization of petroleum, ligroin, spirit
or the like, which is very useful for burners of lamps.
In the drawing left with my Provisional Specification are shown some forms
of construction of this invention. A ring a of sheet metal (Figs. 1 and 2) is so
bent together, that the inner and the exterior border approach one another, leaving
an opening cover the thus formed tubular and circular evaporization chamber.
In the parallel upwardly bent borders b are made slits at certain distances from
one another, so that points bare produced. In Figs. 3, 4 and 5, 6 these points
are formed by radially arranged pieces of sheet metal soldered on the vaporiza-
tion chamber and project above the ring a. In Figs. 5 and 6 the upper slot
opening of the vaporization chamber is replaced by holes c, which are arranged
between the plates b. In Figs. 7 and 8 the points are formed by metal rods b,
which are guided by the above provided annular opening c and project above the
ring and are soldered with their under ends on the bottom of the vaporization
chamber a. These rods are preferably made of a material with greater property
of conducting heat than the walls of the vaporization chamber. They can be
insulated from the evaporization chamber or can be in metallic connection there-
with. Extremely vivacious vaporization is thus obtained as the rods are sur-
rounded by the liquid, whilst in other vaporization chambers the evaporization is
only effected on the exterior sides of the volume of liquid (or round the same).
According to Figs. 9 and 10 the same purpose is obtained by means of a plate b
which is introduced into. the slot opening and extends above the vaporization
chamber A & is provided on the top with slots and is either laid loosely upon
the bottom of the chamber or is soldered thereto.
The vaporization chamber forms a tubular and circular space of round or
angular section. It is provided on the top with one or more openings c, through
which the gas intended for the combustion escapes. At the openings & the metal
points arranged in the one or other manner, when heated by the burning gas
escaping through the openings, give heat to the sides and the bottom of the cham-
ber, for the purpose of vaporizing the liquid therein or fed thereto.
b
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:-
a
An improved apparatus for the vaporization of petroleum, ligroin, spirit or the
like, in which the vaporization chamber consists of a tubular or circular chamber
of round or angular section and is provided on the upper side with one or more
openings c for the outlet of the gas and with metal points b arranged next to these
openings, in order to receive the heat of the burning gas and to conduct the same
to the walls and the bottom of the vaporization chamber.
