Patent number: 5098283Abstract: The invention provides a combustion device such as a stove which may include a pressurized fuel mixture, such as an aerosol container containing alcohol and a propellant which may comprise a normally gaseous hydrocarbon, such as a liquified petroleum gas. The propellant and air are fed to a combustion zone as a combustion mixture, which is combusted therein in a cold start period to pre-heat the liquid fuel and vaporize it. When the liquid fuel is vaporized by the heat provided by combusting the propellant gas, combustion is continued by combusting the vaporized liquid, e.g., alcohol, fuel. The pressurized fuel composition may comprise a major proportion of alcohol together with a minor proportion of the hydrocarbon propellant starter fuel. The method therefore includes carrying out an initial, cold-start phase of combustion utilizing the propellant as fuel, and a subsequent stage of combustion utilizing the vaporized liquid fuel.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1990Date of Patent: March 24, 1992Assignee: Creative Products Inc. of RossvilleInventor: Clarence P.

Patent number: 5033956Abstract: Flow of liquid fuel to a vaporization tube of a heating device is controlled by a vertically adjustable float valve, with the vertical height of a surface level of the fuel in a float valve chamber being set to correspond to a desired operating level of the liquid fuel in the vaporization tube. Liquid fuel is permitted to free-flow from the float valve chamber to the lower end of the vertical vaporization tube without metering, the rate of flow and the level of the fuel in the vaporization tube being determined solely by the hydraulic head created by the surface level of the fuel in the float valve chamber. Raising of the float valve chamber produces a corresponding raising of the level of the fuel in the vaporization tube to increase the tube inner surface area which is contacted or wetted by the fuel in the tube, thus causing an increase in the rate of vaporization and a corresponding increase in heat output of the heating device.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1989Date of Patent: July 23, 1991Assignee: Teledyne Isotopes, Inc.Inventor: Thomas L.

Patent number: 4351316Abstract: Combustion apparatus for burning waste oils of various viscosities with high combustion efficiency and which can meet strict polution regulations comprises primary and secondary combustion chambers with the secondary combustion chamber located above the primary combustion chamber and the primary combustion chamber located within an outer housing so as to define between the outer housing and the primary combustion chamber a plenum space. An air blower delivers air to the plenum space which feeds air into the primary combustion chamber through air inlet openings in its side wall. The primary combustion chamber has a burner bowl provided at its base and a burner ring disposed above the burner bowl. Oil is supplied at a constant rate to the burner bowl via a positive displacement pump. The burner ring features a central aperture and two concentrically disposed rings of orifices with the orifices of the outer ring being of larger diameter than the orifices of the inner ring.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1979Date of Patent: September 28, 1982Inventor: Walter Kroll

Patent number: 4308854Abstract: An oil stove for burning both waste oil and heating oil has a primary combustion chamber for the initial combustion of fuel and an adjoining secondary combustion chamber of larger diameter in which combustion is completed. The two chambers are located in a housing and a fan is arranged at the bottom of the housing for delivering air to the inside of the housing. The air is warmed by its passage between the walls of the housing and the primary and secondary combustion chambers and is discharged for heating purposes via louvres at the top of the housing.The primary combustion chamber is defined by a pot having air inlet openings in its sidewall, a substantially closed base, a burner ring located towards the upper end of the pot and a closed jacket surrounding the pot spaced from said sidewall. In operation a pool of fuel is formed at the base of the pot and a part of the fan delivery is ducted to the space between the closed jacket and the pot and supplying air for the combustion process.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1979Date of Patent: January 5, 1982Inventor: Walter Kroll

Patent number: 4303055Abstract: An oil heater comprises an oil burning section and an oil feeding system for feeding oil from a tank to the burning section. The oil feeding system includes pump means and motor means for operating the pump means. A control system of the oil feeding system consists essentially of relay means situated in a line between the motor means and electric source, combustion detecting means provided in the burning section to detect combustion of oil, and thermoresponsive switch means situated in the line between the relay means and the electric source for operating the relay means and the detecting means after combustion of oil in the burning section. The combustion detecting means is connected to the relay means to allow electric current to pass through the relay means from the electric source to the motor means only when the detecting means detects combustion of oil.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1980Date of Patent: December 1, 1981Inventor: Stanley Fixler

Patent number: 4177792Abstract: A heater includes a first housing which forms a fuel reservoir and a base support to maintain the heater in an upright position. A first elongated hollow or tubular member is secured to the top of the first housing with its lower end communicating with the interior of said first housing and extends upwardly therefrom. A second housing is mounted on top of the first housing and is provided with opening or port means to communicate the top of the first housing with the second housing. Port means in the second housing also communicates the second housing with the first elongated tubular member. A second elongated, hollow or tubular member is mounted on the second housing and extends upwardly therefrom. Its lower end communicates with the top of the second housing for communicating air to the second housing. Valve means are provided in each the first and second elongated hollow members for selectively controlling communication therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1978Date of Patent: December 11, 1979Inventor: Clyde E. Finch, Jr.
