Title: Improvements in distillation of high boiling liquids such as fatty acids
IPC: C11C1/10
Filed: 1937-06-07
Abstract: Apparatus for distilling fatty acids &c. comprises a heating zone 5 for the liquid, a vapour zone 6 above the zone 5, and a separating zone 7 above and in open communication with the zone 6, the zones 6 and 7 being enclosed by an insulated double-walled partition 9.  The zone 7 has spiral vanes 8 to collect the entrained liquid drops from the vapour.  The vapour is guided by a bell-shaped insulating wall 15 over coils 17, 18 after superheating steam in a coil 16, from which it passes down a pipe 28 to jets 30 immersed in the liquid.  The distillate is fed into the coil 17 and after being heated passes down through pipe 29 into the heating zone 5.  Water is fed to coil 18 and a mixture of hot water and steam passes out by pipe 37 to a separating chamber, from which <PICT:0496677/III/1> the steam passes to the coil 16.  The distillate after passing over the coil 18, passes upwards over cooling coils 20, 21, and the condensate collects in the space 38 and is drawn off by a pipe 41.  In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91, a process is described consisting of vaporizing the liquid with the aid of heat and high vacuum, separating entrained material and unvolatilized material from the vapours without reducing their temperature, and pre-heating the fatty acid feed to substantially the temperature of the still by indirect, countercurrent contact with the hot vapours free from entrained and unvolatilized material.  The hot vapours may also be used to heat water to generate steam, and may be brought into indirect contact with steam, liquid feed, and water successively to superheat the steam, preheat the feed, and generate saturated steam. The high - boiling liquid may be vaporized while in intimate contact with a stream of water vapour generated and superheated by contact with the hot vapours being distilled.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the storing and expending of energy on road vehicles or other machinery
IPC: B60T1/10
Filed: 1942-11-10
Abstract: 563,082. Storing energy on road vehicles and machinery ; braking. TIPS, E. O. Nov. 10, 1942, No. 15876. [Classes 79 (ii), 79 (iii) and 136 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXII] Energy is stored and braking is effected on a road vehicle or other machine by means of a swash-plate pump e driven from a road or other wheel and having an adjustable swash-plate n, so that the pump can be used as a brake by pumping fluid, such as oil, from a supply vessel d to a pressure vessel c, or can be used as a motor to drive the vehicle or machine. In the construction shown applied to a bicycle, the shaft p of the pump rotor h carries a roller q which is in contact with the tyre of one of the road wheels so as to be driven thereby. The pump stator e is formed with peripheral passages f, g, communicating respectively with the vessels d, c. The rotor h has chambers k communicating at m with the passages f, g and containing plungers k pressed outwards against the swashplate n by springs (not shown). The swashplate is tiltable about trunnions o and when in the position shown in Figs. 4 and 5 causes the device to act as a pump, oil being pumped from d to c and compressing air above a floating piston r. When the swash-plate is at right angles to the shaft p, the plungers k do not reciprocate in their chambers j and the device is out of action ; when the swash-plate is tilted in the opposite direction, the device acts as a motor and drives the bicycle. The rotor h may be connected to a cycle or other wheel by chain, belt or other gearing, or it may be incorporated in the hub of a wheel. A connection including a spring-loaded valve may be provided between the storage vessels c, d so as to avoid emptying the vessel d. A brake lever may be arranged to act through lost-motion mechanism so as first to cause the rotor h to be driven and next to vary the braking effort progressively. In the case of a motor vehicle, the energy stored may be used to assist in driving the vehicle or to drive accessories such as windscreen wipers, jacks, window and hood opening and closing devices or for engine starting.
