Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Recovering Condensation Water from the Steam in Drying Rooms, Heating Chambers Steam Coils Radiators, and the like
Inventor: BRUN LEON LE
Filed: 1904-06-20
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 13,942. Le Brun, L. June 20. Liquid meters.- Relates to an oscillating device for automatically controlling and recording the return of the e condensation water from drying- rooms, heating- chambers, radiators, &c. to the generator. In the reservoir 1, a box closed at both ends, and divided diagonally by a partition, rocks on the shaft 6. The walls 7, 8 are solid, but the other two are pierced by numerous large holes. The shaft 6 passes through the wall of the reservoir 1, traversing a stuffing-box, and attached to it is an arm with a counterpoise 13. The condensation water to be recovered and measured passes along the pipe 4, and, falling upon the perforated side 10 of the box, fills up that half while the water collected in the other half is running out through holes pierced at 11. When sufficient water to counterbalance the weight 13 has entered, the measurer 5 rocks and this water escapes through holes pierced at 12. The counterpoise can be regulated to control the amount of water admitted into the measurer between the oscillations. An air check cylinder 24 serves for deadening the shock of oscillation. By a suitable arrangement of levers, operating stop-cocks, the water poured into the reservoir 1 at each oscillation is caused to enter the generator. An oscillation counter is fixed to the shaft 6, so that the amount of water necessary to overbalance the measurer each time being known, the total amount of water admitted to the boiler can be indicated.
