Inventor: KOEHLER JOHAN ROBERT
IPC: C09F1/00
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 14,768. K÷hler, J. R. July 12, 1910, [Convention date]. Resins; varnishes.-Betulin is prepared for use in coating-compositions by heating it for some time at a temperature above its melting- point in order to increase its solubility in solvents such as turpentine, linseed oil, acetone, &c. and to remove its tendency to crystallize when the solvent evaporates or dries. The betulin is heated either alone to a temperature of 50-120‹ C. above its melting-point (253‹ C.) for 1-20 hours in vacuo or in an inert atmosphere, or is dissolved in linseed oil or turpentine before being heated, when a lower temperature and shorter time of heating are required. The transformation may be commenced by heating the betulin alone, and finished by heating in presence of a solvent.

IPC: C10C3/04
Filed: 1912-04-12
Granted: 1913-04-14
Abstract: 8712. Soc. Anon. des Combustibles Industriels. July 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Pitch; tar.-Coal tar, naphthalene or anthracene oils or residues, petroleum residues, creosote, and schist oils are converted into pitch by being heated in a series of columns and submitted to a current of air. The air is delivered to the lower end of the first column where it produces its maximum effect and is passed successively into the following columns in which the heat of this current and the hydrocarbon vapours with which it is laden are absorbed. When treating materials other than coal tar, the materials are mixed with coal tar so as to prevent distillation, the mixture being heated by an air current supplied thereto in a divided condition. An exothermic reaction takes place in the first column and oxidation together with desulphurisation. The temperature pressure and duration are varied so as to avoid distillation, and the temperature is maintained at above 110‹ C. The pressure may be maintained by a suitable valve on the outlet pipe for the gases, and the columns are so connected by piping that any one may be cut off and the air current passed direct to the next.

IPC: H02J3/42
Filed: 1912-04-23
Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 9644. Rosenberg, E. April 23. Systems for conversion employing rotary converters.-A rotary converter is run up to speed and synchronized by means of a motor, the windings of which are directly or indirectly connected to the converter. When the rotaryconverter operates in conjunction with an alternating-current booster, the booster is provided with additional windings enabling it to run as a starting motor. To start the converter rapidly, a reversing-switch is placed in its field circuit, by means of which a de-magnetizing current is sent through the field windings to neutralize the residual magnetism of the field magnets so that practically no electromotive force will be developed during the starting period. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a rotary converter 1 is mechanically coupled to a three-phase induction motor 5, the windings 6, 7, 8 of which are connected to the sliprings 14, 13, 12 of the converter, and, when the converter has run up to synchronism, the motor is short-circuited by means of a switch 15. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the converter 1 is connected to the supply mains through a high-tension switch 16 and step-down transformer 17. The rotor of the induction motor 5 is mounted on the shaft 21 of the converter 1, and the switch 15 short-circuits the motor 5 when the converter has run up to speed. In a modification of this arrangement, the motor may be disconnected from the supply mains. In further modifications, arrangements are shown for starting single and six-phase rotary converters. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, a three-phase converter 1 is started and synchronized by means of a three-phase commutator motor 5 supplied from a transformer 46, the primary windings of which are mounted between the step-down transformer 17 and the rotary converter 1, while the secondary windings are connected to the windings 6, 7, 8 of the starting-motor. In this arrangement, the commutator motor may be replaced by an induction motor. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, a three-phase booster 59 mounted on the same shaft as the converter 1 is provided with the usual lowvoltage booster windings 64, 65, 66, and with additional starting-windings 70, 71, 72 arranged to be connected to the low-tension side of the transformer 12 by means of a switch 45. In a multiphase system, only one phase winding of the starting-motor may be connected with one phase of the machine.
