Patent US-1910-1028073
"This invention relates to improvements in the devices for injecting water into the hot combustion products in an air heating apparatus such as used in the propulsion of torpedoes, for example, that described in the specification of British Patent No. 3495 of 1905. The water is drawn from the sea or if preferred from a reservoir by a pump, and forced into the combustion chamber or other chamber through which the combustion products pass. The object of this invention is to automatically regulate the quantity of water forced into the hot combustion products, so that it always bears the proper proportion to the amount of fuel injected into and burned in the combustion chamber."
- I think this makes it a "wet superheater", with the propulsion benefits of high pressure, from (a) the fuel/heat, and (b) from the dense water vapor - denser than air.
- Tech class CPC F02C7/1435: Cooling of plants of fluids in the plant, e.g. lubricant or fuel of working fluid before or between the compressor stages by water injection
- Inventor location: Jones of Fiume, in the Empire of Austria-Hungary, engineer
