Patent GB-190611902-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Recovery of Carbonic Acid.
Inventor: LESLIE JAMES
Filed: 1906-05-22
Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 11,902. Leslie, J. May 22. Liquefying.-Carbonic acid is separated from gaseous mixtures containing it, for example, furnace, kiln, exhaust, &c. gases, by subjecting the mixture under pressure to a temperature below the critical point of the carbonic acid as contained in the mixture, and above the critical point of the mixture ; the waste residual gases at high pressure and low temperature are preferably employed to cool and compress the oncoming mixture. Gases from a holder or pumper are conveyed by the pipe p to the pump P and are compressed, the pump P may be actuated by a belt or by the motor and driven by the waste residual gases. From the pump P the gases pass through a heat-exchanger I in which they are cooled by pipes through which the waste residual gases pass ; the gases are then dried in the vessel D and are then forced by the pumps P<1> into the coil R in the condenser C ; the gases are then allowed to expand into the chamber through the valve v, and by suitable regulation of the valves v, v<1>, the cooling due to expansion is regulated ; the carbonic-acid snow produced is afterwards liquefied by suitably raising the temperature and is drawn off and stored. The residual gases under pressure pass over the coil in the condenser and then by the pipes e through the chambers surrounding the pump P<1>, through the interchanger I, to the motor M. In starting the apparatus, the valve v is kept open, and the gases are returned to the gas holder until the required temperature is obtained. By the use of two or more condensers alternately, the process is rendered continuous.

Title: Improvements in Refuse Destructors, and the like.
Filed: 1906-11-07
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 25,017. Heenan & Froude, and Leask, H. N. Nov. 7. Refuse - consuming, ingot - heating, melting, &c. furnaces; clinkers, removing; charging and discharging; air supply, heating; grates; hearths; ash-pits. - Relates to refuse destructors and also to ingot-heating, melting, and other furnaces, and consists chiefly in the use of a rising and falling grate or hearth to facilitate the removal of clinker, or the introduction or removal of the charge, and in means whereby the clinker or charge is cooled by the incoming air supply, which is thus heated. Figs. 1 and 2 show the application to a refuse destructor. The grate B is raised and lowered by means of a ram b, and is provided beneath with a water-sealed chamber E to which the air for combustion is supplied. In the lower position of the grate, the clinker is pushed off by means of a ram C into a chamber H, through which air is passed to be heated for supplying the furnace or for drying a fresh charge of refuse. The chambers H may have bars h to support the clinker, or may be provided with a truck to receive the clinker. In a further modification, the grate is lowered on to a truck and is pushed, together with its contents, into the chamber H ; this may be effected by the entry of a newly-charged grate at the opposite side. This last modification is especially applicable to heating or melting furnaces. There may be a chamber H for each grate, or one common to several grates. Inclined plates d<1> direct the ashes clear of the chamber E. In a modification, the entire ash-pit moves with the grate, and is supplied with air through a watersealed telescopic connexion. The grate may be of channel shape, as shown in Fig. 2, or composed of fire-bars; when designed for complete removal together with its charge, it may be in the form of a shallow tray. Fixed perforated boxes b<1>, separate from the grate, for the supply of air, steam, or water, are provided at the ends and, in the case of the tray-shaped grate, at the sides. In order to prevent the too rapid burning of the sides of the grate, fixed rims a' of refractory material may be provided, or part of the air supply maybe admitted in close contact with the sides by the use of baffles d3, Fig. 2, or by means of pipes f set within the sides, Fig. 11. Cooling-water for the same purpose may be supplied by pipes similar to f. The ram head M, Figs. 1 and 14, is carried with a certain amount of vertical play on a cross-arm l, is partly supported on wheels m<1>, and has a renewable bottom edge m. When the ram is in its outermost position, a sliding door carried by it cuts off the furnace chamber from the space beneath.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Tubular Air Heaters Condensers and the like.
Inventor: SMITH MONTAGUE HOWARD
Filed: 1906-11-07
Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 25,097. Smith, M. H. Nov. 7. Heating gases and liquids.-Relates to tubular heat-exchange apparatus such as air-heaters, condensers, &c., wherein inverted U-tubes connect supply [and exhaust chambers d, e, which are formed by a hollow mounting divided longitudinally by a partition h, the two chambers being in communication at one end with entrance and exit chambers b, c formed by a partition r in the drum a. To avoid short-circuiting and the escape of steam, the usual aperture in the partition h is replaced by an arrangement of pipes. A baffle n is also placed in the chamber b near the entrance to the supply chamber. A pipe j conveying liquid of condensation connects the supply chamber d at a point remote from the entrance with the exit chamber c. The pipe j may be wholly within the chamber d. A pipe k may lead steam from the entrance chamber to the extremity of the chamber d. A pipe l may also extend from the extremity of the exhaust chamber e to the exit chamber c. Several elements may be bolted together tbrough the flange of the drum a. The partition r dividing the drum or the walls of the drum is formed so as to produce a downwardly-inclined supply duct s extending from the chamber b to a supply channel t leading to the chamber d.
