Fresh air lantern

Mixed air lantern on the right and fresh air lantern on the left

A fresh air or cold air lantern is usually understood to be an oil-powered storm lamp, in which the exhaust air can escape through the chimney. The fresh air is led along the hot chimney and thus preheated for the combustion process. It is then fed to the flame through the hollow spars. In contrast to mixed air lanterns , the fresh air lanterns burn with a bright flame because of the higher oxygen content in the combustion air. However, the exhaust air contains more soot, and consumption is higher in relation to the light yield.
