Abstract
A gasified liquid fuel combustion apparatus for supplying a gaseous mixture of air and a gasified liquid fuel to a burner for combustion. The apparatus includes a gasifying device which comprises two spaced concentric tubes having a concentric inner tube therein. An electric heater is positioned in the space between the inner tube and the two concentric tubes and heats a chamber between the concentric tubes. Fuel is admitted to the lower rear end of the chamber and is gasified and then exits the gasifier through a nozzle connected to the forward end of the chamber. A solenoid controlled valve is operable to open and close the nozzle.

A gasified liquid fuel combustion apparatus for supplying a gaseous mixture of air and a gasified liquid fuel ejected from a nozzle to a burner for combustion, said apparatus including a gasifying device comprising:
- (a) a gasifier including two concentric tubes having front and rear ends and defining a chamber and sealed at least at the rear end thereof and having a concentric inner tube disposed therein, said gasifier and inner tube being in sealed communicating relation with a nozzle head provided concentrically with and at the front end of said inner tube, said nozzle head including a nozzle;
- (b) a valve rod provided in said inner tube and having at its front end a valve needle cooperable with said nozzle;
- (c) a movable core provided at the rear end of said valve rod;
- (d) a solenoid provided at the rear end of said inner tube and operable to move said movable core;
- (e) an electric heater provided in a concentric space between said gasifyer and said inner tube;
- (f) a fuel delivery pipe connected to the lower rear end of said gasifier and adapted to deliver fuel to the rear end of said gasifier chamber;
- (g) means causing said fuel to travel in a helical path around and along said chamber from its rear end to its front end;
- and
- (h) means connecting the front end of said gasifier chamber to said nozzle.
