The Olin Gas and Gasoline Engine.
The Olin Gas Engine Co., Buffalo, N. Y., and the Titusville Iron Works, Titusville, Pa., are builders of the explosive motor represented in the vertical outline and horizontal sections, Figs. 231 and 232.
A four-cycle engine with the principal exhaust through a cylinder-port opened by the passage of the piston at the end of its impulse stroke H, Fig. 232; the exhaust continuing through the return stroke by way of an annular valve, carrying the charging valve with its spindle enclosed within a sliding tube, as shown in Fig. 232.
The exhaust from the cylinder and supplementary ports passes through the outlet J and around the tube containing the inlet charge and is thus used for vaporizing the gasoline charge which is drawn in through a double-seated disk-valve with an outer annular section to draw air from the base of the engine.
The governing is done by holding the exhaust-valve open through the operation of the centrifugal weights L L and a small bell crank and adjustable spindle which rides the push-roller on to or off the exhaust cam.
Six sizes are made of 10 to 35 horse-power. |
