Title: An improved arrangement for detecting flow, and the direction of flow of fluid in electric cables and pipe lines
IPC: G01M3/00
Filed: 1945-11-27
Abstract: 601,298. Electric indicating systems. BRITISH INSULATED CALLENDER'S CABLES, Ltd., and SMITH, F. S. Nov. 27, 1945, No. 32015. [Class 39(iii)] [Also in Groups XXVIII and XXXVIII] To detect the presence and direction of fluid flow in a tube, the localised transfer of heat to or from the tube is effected and the resultant temperature gradient along the tube observed by two means; symmetrically disposed relative to the zone of heat transfer. In the embodiment shown the heater resistance 2 is disposed about the cable 1 and supplied from battery 6. Thermo-junctions 13, 14 make contact with the wall of cable 1 on either side of and equidistant from heater 2 and are connected in opposition through centre-reading galvanometer 15. The temperature of the heater 2 may be indicated by a third thermo-junction 18 incorporated in a pyrometer 19. A fluid flow causes a rise in the temperature of one thermo-couple relative to that of the other, depending upon the direction of flow, and the meter 15 registers the consequent unbalance E.M.F., which with appropriate calibration of the meter will give a direct, measurement of the rate of flow. The thermo-couples and heating units may be assembled together in a single unit built in two sections hinged together, which may be laid round the cable and bolted together to grip the outer sheath. In a further embodiment (not shown) the heat transfer unit is an eddy current heating device and in another, cooling instead of heating is effected by carbon dioxide crystals. To yield a larger resultant E.M.F. a number of thermo-couples in series may be used in place of the single units 13, 14.

Filed: 1919-12-24
Abstract: 138,845. Taylor, C. Dec. 24, 1919. Piling fabrics in rope form.-The fabric-distributing shoot is rotated and also given a movement in and out with relation to its axis, so as to fit the fabric in even layers running in and out from the centre. The apparatus is supported on a platform 10, which carries a driven reel over which the rope of fabric is fed to the mouth 14 of a pipe 15 secured in a sleeve 16 in a framework 17, arms 19 of which rest in open-topped brackets 21 on the kier 22 or other vessel. When it is not necessary to raise the machine, it may be rigidly braced to the platform 10. The shaft 23 of a pulley 24 mounted in the frame, which may be driven from the shaft 9, has a bevel gear 26 driving a gear 27 secured to a sleeve 28 on the pipe 15, the sleeve carrying a heart-shaped can 29. Within the sleeve 28 is a sleeve 32 driven through gears 30, 31 from the shaft 23 and provided with a collar 33 extending between the sleeve 28 and a fixed collar 35a on the bottom of the pipe 15. This collar has an arm 36 with a knuckle 36<a> forming a pivoted support for a funnel 37 fixed to a lever 38 contacting at its upper end with the cam. The funnel through which the fabric passes from the pipe 15 is thus rotated and oscillated in and out to lay the fabric in a general star shape around a central axis. Because of the difference in gearing of the cam and the funnel, the path of the free end of the funnel is advanced at each revolution so that the fabric is distributed evenly. Liquor may be supplied to the pipe 15 by a pipe 40 connected by a pipe 39 with the bottom of the kier. To lift the funnel when piling is completed, a sleeve 41 in which the pipe is held is raised from a hand-wheel 47 through worm-and-rack connexion to the sleeve. The apparatus may be used to rewind the fabric after treatment.
