Abstract: 691,796. Anµsthetic apparatus. RIDDELL PRODUCTS, Ltd. June 13, 1951 [June 27, 1950], No. 16040/50. Class 81 (ii). Inhalation apparatus includes a head portion formed integrally with or attached to a delivery nozzle, mouthpiece or mask, an inhalant container in which is an atomiser connected to air compressing means, the container being attached to the head portion by a collar making screw-threaded engagement with the head portion and engaging a flange on the container to form a compression joint when the collar is tightened. The inhalant container 1 is attached by tubing 4 to air bulbs 3, 3' and is provided with an air jet 6 adjacent to an inhalant jet 9 the lower end of which is immersed in inhalant. The collar 28 is externally screwthreaded to receive an internal screwthread of the head portion 12 and when tightened abuts against a flange 29 on the container 1.

Title: Process for feeding coal to a pressure gasification reactor
IPC: C10J3/50
Filed: 1978-07-27
Abstract: Coal is gasified in a pressure gasification reactor 1 under a pressure of 10 to 100 bars by treatment with steam and free-oxygen-containing gas to produce a product gas at a temperature of 300 to 800 DEG C. The product gas is cooled to 130 to 220 DEG C. and produces a condensate which is withdrawn and separated into different fractions one of which contains 70% water. At least some of the latter fraction is mixed with granular coal and the mixture is pressurized to the operating pressure of the gasification reactor. The pressurized mixture is fed to a separator 17 which communicates with the interior of the reactor and in which the coal and liquid are separated. The separated coal is then fed into the reactor while the separated liquid may be recirculated for feeding further coal. The condensate fraction and granular coal may be mixed in and fed to the separator by a lock chamber arrangement 7 or a tubular feeder. <IMAGE>

Title: Fluidised bed combustion method
IPC: F23C10/28
Filed: 1980-02-20
Abstract: In order to improve the fluidised bed combustion of combustible solids, particularly those of low calorific value, oxygen is mixed with fluidising air supplied to a bed 10 of granular material via pipes 14. The temperature of the bed is monitored by a temperature sensor 38. The flow of oxygen is adjusted as necessary by valve 36 is response to changes in the sensed temperature so as to keep the temperature of the bed between chosen values. Addition of the oxygen to the fluidising air helps to keep down the amount of carbon carried out of the bed by the combustion gases. Solid to be burnt is fed into the bed from a screw feeder 18. Propane or methane is burnt by burners 40 and 42 to raise the temperature of the bed to a suitable operating value. Hot combustion gases ascend from the bed 10 into a flue 6 and boil water passed through boiler tubes 30. Ash is discharged from the bottom of the bed 10 by operation of a screw feeder 22. <IMAGE>
