ABSTRACT:
A combined steam generator and engine including a means for spraying a finely atomized vaporizable liquid at all areas of an extensive heat exchanging surface. The opposite surface of walls providing the extensive heat exchanging surface is in direct contact with a heating fluid. The resulting steam is produced in a comparatively small steam generating volume in constantly open fluid communication with the expansible chamber of a cyclically operable engine. The invention provides rapid steam pressure build-up from a cold start, operates with a liquid or gaseous heating fluid, and has rapid response time to changing operating conditions. A sensitive control means alters the amount of vaporizable fluid that is sprayed in the generator, to control power output.
