Mixed air lantern
A mixed air lantern is usually understood to be an oil-powered storm light in which the exhaust air is fed back into the flame through hollow side bars. In the case of petroleum or other fuel oils, the carbon contained in the fuel is usually not completely burned. The exhaust air from the lamp is sooty. This exhaust air is captured by a blaker attached above the combustion glass and fed to the combustion flame via the air pipes. The exhaust gases (and the carbon that is still unburned) are thus partly fed back into the combustion process. Mixed air lanterns burn with a slightly yellowish flame. They do not reach the brightness of the fresh air lanterns , but they can cope with poor quality petroleum and are more economical in fuel consumption.
