Liquid fuel combustion apparatus

A liquid fuel combustion apparatus, comprising:

• a horizontal combustion cylinder having a peripheral wall and first and second ends;
• an end plate for closing said first end of said combustion cylinder, said second end of said combustion cylinder being open;
• fuel supplying means comprising a fuel reservoir located at the lowermost portion of said combustion cylinder in the vicinity of said end plate;
• a first plurality of annularly-arranged perforations in said peripheral wall adjacent said fuel reservoir;
• an angularly shaped first flame holder means spaced from the peripheral wall of said combustion cylinder and located intermediate the length of said combustion cylinder;
• a second plurality of annularly-arranged perforations in said peripheral wall on the downstream side of said first flame holder means;
• a disc shaped second flame holder means located adjacent said open second end of said combustion cylinder;
• a third plurality of annularly-arranged perforations in said peripheral wall on the upstream side of said second flame holder means;
• a fourth plurality of annularly-arranged perforations in said peripheral wall on the downstream side of said second flame holder means;
• a housing enclosing said combustion cylinder, and being spaced from said cylinder to form an air stream conduction space between said cylinder and said housing;
• and
• air supply means comprising a blower for blowing compressed air into said air stream conduction space.
