Filed: 1908-02-27
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 4424. Harbord, F. W. Feb. 27. Drying air; drying desiccants.-Peat saturated with calcium chloride or with a mixture of calcium and ferric chlorides is dried and used as a desiccant for air supplied to iron and other blast furnaces. Specifications No. 25,112, A.D. 1906, and No. 10,525, A.D. 1907, are referred to. In the working of the process, preferably three or more chambers are used, each containing sufficient saturated peat to dry the air completely, the chambers being used so that the air is dried in one chamber and serves to cool another or others, while a third is cut off from the air circulation system after its use for drying air, and the saturated material in it is heated and dried prior to its being used again. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the material is shown in the form of bricks G arranged in chequer formation and also in the form of lumps H, in both cases on perforated trays. When this chamber is used for drying purposes, valves A, D only are opened and the air is forced by a blower through the valve A, and dried in the chamber, and passes out through the valve D to the blowing-engine. When the material is saturated, the valves A, D are closed and the valves B, C opened, and hot air is forced or drawn therethrough to dry the material. This action may be assisted by opening valves E, F and passing hot air or gas through the casing of the chamber. Fig. 2 shows a form of apparatus in which the desiccant is contained in tubes communicating with air mains. The material dries air which is passed in at the valve B and escapes by the valve D. When the material is saturated, the valves B, D are closed, and hot air or gases pass in at the valve A, circulate round the outside of the tubes, and pass out through the valve F to a stack. Hot air also enters at the valve E, circulates through the material, and passes out through the valve C.
