L. P. HYNES BUS HEATING sYsTEia Filed F'eb. 2, 192s Patented Sept. 29, 1931 UNITED y STATES v*PATENT OFFICE LEE P. HYNES, OF ALBANY, NEW YORK, .ABSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO CON- SOLIDATED CAR-HEATING OF NEW YORK COMPANY, INC., OF .ALBANY NEW YORK, A CORPORATION Bus mimmo sxsrmr v Application led February 2,-1928. vSerial No. 85,501. v
For a detailed description of the resent .form of m invention, reference ma had to the fo lowin specification an to the accom anying rawing forming a part thereo My invention relates to the heating of busses or other vehicles equipped with a `hydrocarbon engine, the heat being derived from the re-combustion of the contents of the engine exhaust. In the present case I provide a supplementary heater so arranged as to serve alternately with lthe said recombustion to provide heat for the bodyfand also for engine and' radiator when the en- 5 gine is not running.
Referring to the drawing, Z is the body of the vehicle; A represents the exhaust manifold of the engine, which is contained in a suitable enclosure B, and C is the enclosure for the transmission gearing and other attachments. -D is the exhaust tube leading from manifold A through a mixing chamber E, shown as drawing in air through an opening on its under side, said tube terminating at its'left end in a nozzle that gives velocity to the outiiow therefrom. F is a combustion chamber wherein the recombustion takes lace, the exhaust gases emerging from tu e D and min led with air drawn in through tube. E bemg delivered into said combustion chamber and ignit'ed by a sparkug G, or by the supplementary burner The said supplementary burner is located in the bottom of casing F and is sup lied with fuel, such as gasolene, from ta `J, wherein air pressure is maintained by an a1r pipe K. From the top of casing F three pi s extend. The pipe P, controlled by a amper U, leads .to engine casing B and thence, by pipe X,
to the lower end of radiator T against which the heated products are finally delivered. The pipe O, controlled by twoway damper, leads to the boiler Q and the products of combustion, after passing through the boiler tubes, pass by pipe R to the final exhaust pipe S, which constitutes the third pipe extending from the ltop of casing F and is also controlled by two-way damper V, by which the outflow from the casin may be diverted, either artly or com etel into the pipes O and) S alternate y. `rom boiler Q a supply pipe Y leads to suitable radiators in the vehicle body Z. So long as the engine is running, damper W being open and dampers V and U'closmg plpes S and P respectively, the exhaust gases will be re-burned in the reburner formed by casing F, and the heated products of the re-combustion will through the boiler Q, giving up their eat to the water therein and emerge into the atmosphere through pipes R and S. If the damper U is opened, other conditions remaining the same, a part of the heated products will pass into pipe P and thence -go to the engine and radiator, so as to raise the temperature thereof tov improve operating conditions in cold weather. Or, if damper V is turned to close pipe O and open pipe S, damper U being closed, all o the products will pass directly to the atmosphere through pipe S. Dampers U and V may be set to any desired intermediate positions for partlal results. There are, however, occasions when it is not feasible to keep the engine running, as when the bus is left overnight in the open or in a cold garage, or when it might be stalled in a snow storm with little or no engine gasolene in its tank. For such occasions 'the said burner H is provided, in the bottom of casing F. Ithas a separate fuel tank J controlled by a cock y'. When this cock is opened the fuel, which may be' gasolene or other suitable liquid hydrocarbon, will flow under` tank air pressure into heater H and air will be drawn in with it throughl the hicle equipped with an internal combustion engine and the radiator of said engine. comprising a combustion chamber external of said engine, a mixing chamber in communication with said combustion chamber and having an air inlet, means for discharging exhaust gases from said engine through sai mixing chamber so as to induce an iniiow of air through said air inlet, and to discharge the mixed air and gases into said combustion chamber, an ignition device within said combustion chamber, a fuel burner in said combustion chamber, means for supplying fuel to said burner, and means for causing the heat produced by the reburning of said exhaust gases `while the engine is operating, or the heated air from the fuel burner while the engine is idle to be transferred to said vehicle or to the radiator of said engine.
