Hydro-carbon-burner. One in which liquidfuel is beneath a steam-boiler, cooking-vessel,or otherwise. It usually has a jet of air or steam,frequently both, which carry with them a quantityof petroleum or coal oil in the form of spray whichis ignited and burns below the boiler. Ingenuity ise.\ercised in so arranging the burners that the jets insufficient number are so disposed as to apply theflame to the surfaces of the boiler. In Fig. 2621, the pijie .B is a receptacle in whichthe oil is with air, and the gases evolved. Asmall stream of oil enters by the pipe i, a current ofair by opening r, and a jet of steam from the boilerby pipe S. Pipe B, containing steam, air, and gas,passes through the furnace, and on its return emptiesits heated contents in the midst of the fire. In heating or cooking stoves, the burner mayconsist of a vaporizer in which a jet heats a smallretort from which the coal oil issues in a vapor ; or HYDROCARBON-FURNACE. 115i HYDROGEN-LAMP.
