Abstract
An improved liquid fuel combustion apparatus of the type including a cylindrical combustion chamber, an ignition plug, an ignition plug mounting sleeve and a heat exchanger is disclosed. The cylindrical combustion chamber and the heat exchanger constituting essential components of the apparatus are separable. The ignition plug mounting sleeve is firmly mounted within coaxially aligned nipples on the heat exchanger and on the combustion chamber so that its inner wall lined with a layer of wick is exposed to the interior of the cylindrical combustion chamber. Typically, the ignition plug mounting sleeve is secured to the mounting seat by securing a flange on the outer surface of the mounting sleeve to mounting seat associated with the nipple of the heat exchanger by means of bolts with a packing interposed therebetween. Alternatively, the mounting sleeve may be threaded into the mounting seat by tightly holding a larger diameter portion of the mounting sleeve between a plate and the end of the nipple of the heat exchanger or by resiliently holding a larger diameter portion of the mounting sleeve with a leaf spring.
