Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Erzeugung eines zu Beleuchtungs-, Heiz- und motorischen Zwecken geeigneten Gases mittelst Kohlenwasserstoffe oder Mineralöle und betrifft einen Generator, welcher sich durch Einfachheit der Construction, sowie durch Gefahrlosigkeit und regelmäfsiges Functioniren auszeichnen soll.The invention relates to the generation of a lighting, heating and motorized Purposes of suitable gas by means of hydrocarbons or mineral oils and concerns a generator, which is characterized by the simplicity of the construction, as well as by the lack of danger and regularity Functioning should distinguish.

Dieser Generator gestattet sowohl die Carburation von atmosphärischer Luft oder sonstigen Gasen, als auch von überhitztem Dampf, welch letzterer infolge seiner hohen Temperatur zudem die Verwerthung schweren Oeles als Sättigungsflüssigkeit ermöglicht. Aufserdem ist eine sehr einfache Einrichtung vorgesehen, welche eine regelmäfsige Entzündung und Verbrennung des fabricirten Gases sichert.This generator allows the carburation of atmospheric air or other Gases, as well as superheated steam, the latter also due to its high temperature enables heavy oil to be used as a saturation liquid. There is also a very simple device provided, which a regular ignition and burning of the manufactured gas.

Wie ersichtlich, besteht der Apparat der Hauptsache nach aus einem Raum, in, welchem die Carburation vor sich geht, und einem darüber befindlichen Reservoir, welches flüssige Kohlenwasserstoffe enthält.As can be seen, the apparatus consists mainly of a room in which the carburation is going on, and an overlying reservoir which is liquid Contains hydrocarbons.

Der eigentliche Generator wird durch ein Metallgefäfs A gebildet, in dessen Innerem mehrere Lagen C von über einander geschichteten Schwämmen und Rofshaaren angeordnet sind. Diese Materialien sind durchlässig für das Gas und geben eine beträchtliche Verdampfungsoberfläche; überdies wird durch deren Anwendung das naturgemäfse Einsinken des Haufens verhindert, welches in kürzester Frist eintreten würde, wenn einfache Schwämme, Werg oder dergleichen benutzt würden.The actual generator is formed by a metal vessel A , in the interior of which several layers C of sponges and Rofshaaren are arranged. These materials are permeable to the gas and give a considerable evaporation surface; Moreover, their use prevents the natural sinking in of the pile, which would occur in the shortest possible time if simple sponges, tow or the like were used.

Die in dem Reservoir B befindliche Carburationsflüssigkeit gelangt durch ein mit Regulirungshahn E versehenes Rohr D nach dem Behälter A und ergiefst sich in ein kreisförmiges, auf seiner oberen Fläche mit Löchern versehenes Rohr F, aus welchem sie sich in feinen Strahlen gleichmäfsig über die Oberfläche der Materialien C vertheilt, was für die Sicherung der gleichmäfsigen Zusammensetzung des erzeugten Gases von grofser Wichtigkeit ist. Die Flüssigkeit, welche auf solche Weise eingeführt ist, läuft im unteren Theile des Generators zusammen; ein gläserner Niveaustandzeiger G läfst die Höhe des Flüssigkeitsspiegels erkennen, welcher niemals über die, einige Centimeter unterhalb der unteren Mündung der Röhre H für die Einführung der Luft oder Gase belegene Grenzlinie Z Z steigen darf.The carburation liquid in the reservoir B passes through a pipe D provided with a regulating valve E to the container A and flows into a circular pipe F, which is provided with holes on its upper surface, from which it flows in fine jets evenly over the surface of the materials C is distributed, which is of great importance for ensuring the uniform composition of the gas produced. The liquid thus introduced converges in the lower part of the generator; a glass level indicator G allows the height of the liquid level to be recognized, which must never rise above the boundary line ZZ , a few centimeters below the lower mouth of the tube H for the introduction of air or gases.

Die zu carburirenden Gase, welche mittelst eines Ventilators eingeblasen oder unter dem Druck einer gasometerähnlichen Glocke eingeführt werden, treten durch eine bei J auf das Rohr H geschraubte Rohrleitung ein. Das untere Ende von H mündet in einen freien Raum, welcher durch ein Metallgewebe oder, wie auf der Zeichnung, durch einen spiralförmig gewundenen Metalldraht K inmitten der Mate-The gases to be carburized, which are blown in by means of a fan or introduced under the pressure of a gasometer-like bell, enter through a pipe screwed onto the tube H at J. The lower end of H opens into a free space, which is created by a metal mesh or, as in the drawing, by a spirally wound metal wire K in the middle of the material.

Claims

rial C is formed, so that the gases introduced come into contact with the liquid collected at the bottom of the apparatus, and then, evenly distributed, rise up through the mass of the sponge and hair, being saturated with the hydrocarbons which seep through this mass. From the top of the generator A a tube L leads to the upper part of the reservoir B. Hair mass C can flow. In order to avoid any possibility of an explosion, the combustible gas produced is discharged from the apparatus through a helmet M which is arranged on the lid of the container A and which is provided with a non-return flap JV. In front of and behind the flap JV, sieve-like plates O and P are provided, which keep foreign substances out and, in the event of an accident, prevent the flame from entering the apparatus. To ensure effective evaporation of the carburation liquid, as well as to prevent the apparatus from cooling down as a result of such evaporation, the container A is surrounded by a metal jacket Q, which is provided with a supply pipe Ji and discharge pipe 5, and in which the combustion in a machine or other combustion system to circulate the resulting hot gases. · The reservoir B is closed by means of a screwed-on lid. U are the feet of the apparatus by which it is attached to the place where it is used. The gases obtained with the aid of the apparatus described are, like those obtained with other carburation devices, difficult to ignite, and the flames of the same are very easily extinguished. In order to remedy these inconveniences, it is sufficient, however, as numerous attempts have shown, to reduce the cross-section of the gas duct in front of the burner to a very small size. For this purpose, a diaphragm X is arranged at a suitable distance from the mouth of the burner V in the gas pipe, which is provided with a hair-thin opening in its center. This opening reduces the rate of flow of the gas after the burner so considerably that ignition can easily be effected and the easy extinction of the flame is eliminated. The shape of the diaphragm can be chosen arbitrarily; so z. B. a conical diaphragm provided at its tip with a fine opening, as indicated at X in the drawing, or a disc-shaped diaphragm pierced in its center, as illustrated at Y, can be used with the same advantage. ■ Patent claim: An apparatus for generating a gas suitable for lighting, heating and motor purposes, which is characterized by:

1. The supply of the carburizing liquid in rain form by means of a horizontal pipe F 'perforated on its upper surface, while the gas to be carburized rises from the bottom of the generator A and thus has a direction opposite to the liquid;

2. the composition of the filling of the generator made of horsehair and sponges;

3. the extension of the lower end of the air or gas introduction tube H through a space created with the aid of a spirally wound metal wire K or a wire mesh;

4. the attachment of a non-return flap JV and sieve-like plates OJ ³ to keep foreign bodies out and to prevent the flame from entering the apparatus in the event of accidents;

5. The use of a diaphragm Y or X in the line to the burner, which is provided with a hair-thin opening to ensure the controlled ignition and combustion of the gas;

6. The combination of the carburation vessel A with the jacket Q surrounding it, for the purpose of circulating hot gases and preventing cooling;

7. The use of superheated steam as the gas to be carburized, which makes use heavier, so far worthless, hydrocarbon-containing oils as a carburizing agent allowed.
