Description: |
| Abstract:
The present invention relates to that class of engines which in operating vaporize a liquid hydrocarbon and mix with the vapor thus produced a suitable quantity of air to form an explosive mixture and the object of the invention is to provide improved means for forming this mixture.
Claim:
In a gas-engine,the combination with the cylinder,the piston and an air-passage through which air is drawn into the cylinder by the action of the piston, of an oil-duct, and means for causing a uniform stream of oil to flow constantly therethrough, said duct being provided with a breach opposite which a portion of the stream of oil is at all times exposed to the direct action of the air in the air-passage, whereby at each inspiration of the engine the air traversing said passage takes up the oil exposed at the breach, and only the oil so exposed, the breach being of such length that it exposes the exact quantity of oil necessary for a single charge. |
