Title: Improvements in or relating to Turbines.
Inventor: CORTHESY JULES HIPPOLYTE
IPC: F01K23/06
Filed: 1910-06-14
Granted: 1911-06-14
Abstract: 14,311. CorthÚsy, J. H., CorthÚsy, J. H., and Dickson, W. K.-L. June 14. . Working-fluid supply. -In a gas turbine, the parts are water-jacketed, and the steam generated in the waterjackets is heated by the exhaust gases and used to drive a steam-turbine. The rotor a on the shaft b rotates in a chamber f, which is immersed in water or steam in a steam-generator g. The rotor blades d are arranged in pairs, as shown in Fig. 5, and are hollow so that water or steam may be circulated from the shaft passages b<1> through the rotor, the blades d, the hollow shrouding- ring e, and back through the rotor to the return passage b<2> in the shaft. The cooling-water passes from a tank i through a pipe i<1> to pipes i<2> in the exhaust pipe r for the gases of combustion, and thence into the shaft passages b<1> and through the rotor. From the passage b<2>, it flows by a pipe g<3> to a pump h, which forces it into the steam-generator g. The steam from this chamber is conducted by a pipe o to a set of pipes p, where it is heated by the exhaust gases of combustion, and thence to a set of pipes s, where it is superheated by the gases. This steam is now used in the turbine u, u<1>, u<2>, and exhausts into a condenser w, from which the water is pumped back to the tank i. The explosion chambers are immersed in the water in the chamber g, and have air inlets j<1> connected to a compressor m, fuel inlets j<2>, discharge nozzles k, and auxiliary discharge nozzles j<0>. Valves may be provided by which the direction of flow from the nozzles may be altered in order to reverse the turbine.

The pulley l actuates the roller b by means of an axle n and bevel-gearing, which 624 permits the direction-of movement of the carriage to be reversed at the end of each traverse, or by unclutching the axle n the carriage may be stopped. The pulley m actuates, through a crank and connecting-rod q, a small air pump s connected with a pipe r of the spraying-device, the water being sucked from a pipe u bv compressed air discharged through a nozzle t, the pipe u being in connexion with a water reservoir R. When the pulley j is actuated, the carriage is moved along the machine and comes successively in front of each cop, and, since the device rises and falls with the ring rail, water is projected at all points of the cop. The pipe u dips into a cup v carried by a pivoted lever wand having a bowl y which runs upon a rack z fixed to the ring rail. The cup v is fed with water, drop by drop, from a pipe v<1> connected to the reservoir R ; when it comes in front of a cop, it is raised by the rack and the pipe u dips into the water which will be sprayed upon the cop. When the device is passing from one cop to the next, the bowl y enters the spaces in the rack and the pipe u no longer dips into the water, the action of the spraying-device being thus stopped.
