Title: Improvements in or relating to the Engines of Automobile Torpedoes and the like.
Filed: 1907-09-17
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 20,672. Whitehead Torpedo Works, and Lees, E. Sept. 17. Compressed-air engines.- In multi-cylinder torpedo engines of the single - acting enclosed type, the working parts are kept cool and free from deposit by directing the exhaust through water - cooled passages outside the crank chamber, and then delivering it to the hollow tail-shaft at the rear side of a valved partition therein. In the four-cylinder engine shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the exhaust from one pair of adjacent cylinders passes from the valve chambers E along corresponding pipes D leading to a common conduit F on the outside of the crank chamber. The conduit F leads to a second conduit F' communicating by peripheral holes c' with the hollow tail-shaft on the side of the partition c<2> remote from the crank chamber. The exhaust from the other cylinders passes to the tail-shaft through passages D<1>, F<2>, F<3>. The waterjacketing of the passages F ... F<3> is in this case effected by allowing the sea-water free access to the exterior of the crank casing. If found desirable, these passages may be formed by separate pipes instead of bemg integral with the crank arid tail-shaft casings. A valve H in the partition C<2> automatically relieves any excess pressure in the crank casing due to leakage of fluid past the pistons.
