Abstract: 1,044,889. Cold separation of gas mixtures. LINDE A.G. Aug. 17, 1964 [Aug. 17, 1963], No. 33483/64. Heading F4P. Revaporization of condensible impurities, e.g. water and carbon dioxide, deposited within the crude gas paths 10, 15 of switchable heat exchangers 9, 13 of the tube or plate type having counterflowing product cold gas chambers 12a, 12b is effected under partial vacuum'of 0.05 to 0.5 atmosphere produced by a pump 16 connected to whichever crude gas path 10, 15 is being de-frosted; the flow in chambers 12a, 12b being combined to produce gas which is thereby discharged through a line 14 free of re-vaporized condensible impurities, and the heat capacity of the exchangers is such that the heat of condensation and the cold of vaporization can be stored. Re-vaporization under vacuum is assisted by a reverse flow of a rinsing gas, e.g. cold nitrogen, in quantity between one and three times the quantity given by the product of the pressure of the rinsing gas and the quantity of crude gas divided by the pressure of the crude gas. As shown, the crude gas comprises compressed air which after traversing switchable absorbers 20, 21 is fed to the on stream exchanger in countercurrent flow with cold oxygen gas, and the so-cooled air free of carbon dioxide and water is paired by cold purified air leaving switchable nitrogen regenerators 3, 7 and the whole of the compressed air is fed through a line 4 to a rectification column (not shown). The process may serve to produce crude ethylene from coke oven gas.

Abstract: 1,271,193. Consuming noxious gases. PROCTOR & SCHWARTZ Inc. 13 July, 1970 [25 July, 1969], No. 33905/70. Heading F4B.  Apparatus for consuming noxious gases from a drier, oven or kiln comprises a series of chambers 1A-1D each formed with flues 10 packed with particulate ceramic material, steel or other heat resisting material and opening into an upper space 13 having a burner 8, lower ducts 19 from each flue opening into a gas inlet main 5 through flap valves 22a-22b and into an outlet main 6 through flap valves 22g-22l. The chambers 1A-1D are arranged as shown as modular units each having its own inlet main section 5 on the outside and sharing an outlet main section 6 in the centre. Gases to be treated enter the apparatus by a duct 15 passing through a fan chamber 16 duct 17 and distribution header 18 on their way to the mains 5. Treated gases are extracted from outlet main 6 by a fan 21 and discharged into exhaust stack 72. The flap valves 22a-22b and 22g-22l are opened in timed sequence by cam followers 25 on a shaft 24 operated by cams (26, Fig. 5) on a cam-shaft 27. The valve timing is such that inlet valve 22a and outlet valve 22g on the same duct 19 are never open together so that incoming gases pass up a chamber 10 where the pollutant is ignited or oxidized, this process being completed in space 13 and down a different chamber 10 heating up its packing material 12. Each duct 19 has an air inlet tube (30, Fig. 3) with its own flap valve (31) near the inlet end of the duct and when both of its valves 22 are closed said flap valve (31) is open to a maximum extend owing to the negative pressure in the system. The air so drawn in purges the gases remaining in the particular flue 10. When the duct 19 has only its outlet valve 22 open the flap valve (31) closes by gravity cutting off any air supply. The central portion of a duct 19 can be isolated by closing butterfly valves (51, 53, Fig. 3) therein, whereupon the temperature of the packing 12 in its associated flue tends to build up burning off solid material which may have collected in the upper part of said packing.

IPC: G01R13/20
Filed: 1947-12-23
Abstract: 656,464. Recording apparatus. SOC. NATIONALE D'ETUDE ET DE CONSTRUCTION DE MOTEURS D'AVIATION. Dec. 23, 1947, Nos. 33998 and 33999. Convention dates, Jan. 9 and May 19. [Class 106 (iv)] [Also in Group XX] A plurality of phenomena are photographically recorded simultaneously by several cathode-ray tubes (C1, C2, Fig. 2) arranged obliquely to one another so that the axes of the tubes intersect a movable sensitized support (T) on a straight line at right angles to the direction of movement of the support. A time base is provided by photographing sparks spaced by equal intervals of time (Fig. 3, not shown). The deflector plates of the C.R.T. at right angles to those in use in connection with the phenomena to be recorded are employed to deflect the spot out of the field of the photographic lens, until required, by applying a suitable voltage thereto. By cutting off or short-circuiting this voltage source, the spot is brought into recording position. A switch device for this purpose comprises a stationary contact A1 Fig. 7, co-operating with contacts A and B turning about a pivot pin 4 for a camera shutter 3, Fig. 6. An eccentric pin 10 reciprocates a stepped plunger 11 in time with the phenomenon to be recorded (e.g. pressuretime diagram of an internal-combustion engine). A short rod 14 pivoted to the shutter 3 is slidably supported by a vertical rod 17 which, before recording commences, is lifted by a knurled knob 20 against the bias of a spring 21 and supported in an upper position by rotating a second knurled knob 24 so that a recess 23 is out of register with a pin 22 in the upper knob. This brings the short rod 14 to the dotted position with its right-hand end clear of the reciprocating plunger 11. When the knob 24 is operated to release the vertical rod 17, the plunger 11 strikes the end of the short rod 14 and a predetermined time in its cycle and so provides a period of recording between the time that the contact A, Fig. 7, leaves A1 and the arrival of contact B. The aperture 7 of the shutter 3 co-operates with a fixed aperture 2, and the shutter is arrested by a rubber stop 8. Modifications suggested include a remote control for release of the vertical rod 17 and for resetting the shutter 3. The contacts A, B may be mounted on the short rod 14 for co-operation with a fixed contact.
