Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 19,343. Nichols, F. P. Aug. 23. Fixed-abutment type; valves, distributing and cut-off.-Relates to rotary engines of the fixed - abutment type having outwardly - sliding vanes arranged in pairs on each side of a central flange on the rotor and adapted to act as cut-off valves. Motive fluid is 'admitted through a hollow shaft 8 to a central chamber. 13 in the rotor, which is pro- (vided with passages 24 to conduct the fluid to the slots in which the vanes 18 slide. One side 28 of each vane is cut away, Fig. 12, and allows the fluid to enter the working chamber when the vane projects from the rotor. The other side 27 is provided with a recess leading to its extremity, so that exhaust fluid can always escape on that side through passages 25 to the space 26 and outlet pipe 6. The rotor is provided with a central flange 17, on either side of which the vanes 18 are made to bear on the linings 23 of the casing by rockers 19 pivoted on springs 20. The cam contours of the linings 23 are each staggered with respect to the other.

Abstract: 25,693. Alquist, K. Nov. 8. Working-fluid supply.-A turbine operated by high-pressure steam or low-pressure steam or both comprises a low-pressure wheel a and a high-pressure wheel b. The exhaust side of the wheel b may be put into communication with either the space k, by way of a passage m, or the exhaust pipe f by way of a passage d, suitable valves being provided. When highpressure steam only is used, it passes through nozzles g to the wheel b, and through the passage m to the chamber k and thence through the wheel a. When low-pressure steam only is used, it is admitted to the chamber k direct, whence it passes in parallel through the wheels a, b. Low-pressure nozzles c are provided, so that the wheel a may be used with low-pressure as well as high-pressure steam. When the turbine is working on the " mixed " principle, low-pressure steam admitted direct to the chamber k mixes with the exhaust from the wheel b, and the mixture passes through the wheel a. Alternatively, the passage m may be closed and the passage d opened, whereupon the high-pressure steam drives the wheel band exhausts direct to the condenser, while the low-pressure steam drives the wheel a.

Inventor: GUTENSOHN ADOLF
IPC: C01B13/08
Filed: 1912-03-20
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 6888. Gutensohn, A. March 20. Oxygen is generated by the action on hydrogen peroxide of calcined permanganates of potassium, calcium, and barium, singly, or two or three in combination. The calcination may be only such as to cause the permanganates to form a slightly reddish solution in water. Preferably a mixture of the potassium and calcium or barium salts is used, the potassium salt being in a larger proportion. In operation, the generation takes place in a strong air-tight vessel, preferably of copper, provided with a peroxide inlet pipe, an oxygen exit, a draincock, and a pressure gauge. The vessel being about one - third full of peroxide, the powder or powders can be introduced in a perforated tube through a hole over which a cap is at once tightly screwed. The peroxide is conveniently fed in by a pump having a non- return valve. The liberated oxygen collects in the top of the vessel and can be drawn off almost chemically pure after allowing contained moisture to separate out. Alternatively the peroxide may be sprayed upon the powder,
