OIL-BURNER. V

Specification of Letters latent. Patented Sept. 7,1920.

Application filed November 25, 1919. Serial No. 340,523."

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM B. Boonnn,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Freeport, in the county of Brazoria and State of Texas, have invented a new and ing is a full, clear, and exact description.

I Thisinvention relates to improvements in oil burners. and more particularly to a burner designed primarily for burning crude fuel oil, an object of the invention being to provide an improved construction of burner which insures the centering of the oil discharge spray head within the burner head. V A further object is to provide improved I means for submitting the oil to the temperature of steam before reaching the burner so as to vaporize the oil and insure a perfect mixture with the steam for burning. A further object is to provide a burner of the character stated which permits any desired length of oil and steam pipes located outside of the furnace or combustion cham her. 1

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction,"and combinations and ar-' rangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the'claim. i

In the accompanying drawings j Figure 1 is a view mainly in longitudinal section, but partly'in elevation illustrating my improvements;

Fig. 2 is a view in cross-section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a view in elevation of the spray head; and

Fig. 4: is a View in elevation of the burner head.

1 represents a T-coupling into the smaller end of which an elbow 2 is screwed and connected with an oil supply pipe 3. A relatively small oil pipe 4: is screwed into the end of the'elbow 2, and extends through the T- coupling 1 and is of any desired length. This pipe 4: is connected to a pipe 5 at right angles thereto'by means of an elbow 6 and on the free end of the pipe 5 a spray head 7 is secured. The larger end of the T-coupling 1 is connected by'a steam pipe 8 with an elbow 9 and a pipe 10'connects the elbow9 with a burner head 11.

The T-coupling l, pipe 8, elbow 9, pipe 10 and head 11 operate as a casing, which incloses the oil pipe and spray head andserves as a steam chamber or passage lnto;

which steam is supplied by a pipe 12 communicating with the intermediate portion of the T-coupling l, and this'casing may be made in any number of sections and of-any desired'length and shapeto give to-thc oil in the pipe 4 the necessary steam contact to bring the oil tothe desired temperature for vaporizing before it reaches its discharge point.

The spray head 7 is provided with out- I let slots 13 in opposite sides and this-headis,

at one end, connected to the pipe 5 by screw threaded engagement, as shown at 14;, while with a screw threaded opening 15 receiving a threaded plug 16, the latter having a coni- 18 has screw threaded engagement in a i 'i the other end of the spray head is formed threaded opening 19 and at its inner end has a conical socket 20 receiving the pointed end of the plug 18 and maintaining the plug and, consequently, the spray, head centrally within the burner head.

The burner head 11 is connected by a bushing 21 with the pipe 10 and this bush- 2 ing has screw threaded engagement with the pipe and with the head, as shown at 22 and 23 respectively. The head 11 hasan outlet slot 24 at a point beyond the outlet 7 slots 13 of thespray head 7 and at a point preferably at right angles thereto. 7

. The operation is as follows :The" oil passing through the. pipe 4: is heated by the steam in the steam line or casing and escapes through the slots 13 of the spray head 7 into the head 11 in the form of a vaporized spray -and. commingles with the steam from the steam line so that the mixture escapes through the slot 24 and is burned.

Various slight changes may be made in the general formand arrangement of parts. described without departing from the invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim:

" Anoil burner, comprising a steam line,

' having a screw an oil pipe located inside of the steam line,

a burner head on the steam line, a spray head on the oil pipe in the burner head, said spray head having a threaded opening in its end, a threaded plugin said opening hav ing a tapering outer end, said burner head threaded opening in its plug and centering the spray head in the burner head 7 WILLIAM B.
