Title: Improvements in Regulating Devices for Exhaust Steam Turbines Supplied from a Live Steam Stage.
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1910-12-15
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 29,124. Gutehoffnungehutte Aktienverein f³r Bergbau & H³ttenbetrieb. Dec. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Regulating.-In a mixed - pressure turbine supplied with h exhaust steam from a high-pressure turbine and, when required, with live steam direct, the high and low pressure valves are actuated by valves operated by the pressure of oil in pipes III, II respectively. The oil enters the regulator by way of a pipe I, and flows through a pipe IV. A double valve e, f mounted upon a single stem is operated by a governor, and by more or less throttling the flow of oil varies the pressure in the pipes II, III. The valves e, f work within separate ported sleeves g, h, which are caused to approach or recede from each other by a double cam p, the position of which depends upon the pressure of the low-pressure steam operating through a pressure drum and suitable gear. The movement of the parts g, h varies the speed at which high-pressure steam is admitted.

Granted: 1912-07-31
Abstract: 17,436. Soc. per l'Utilizzazione dei Combustibili Italiani, and Civita, D. July 31. Peat, preparing.-Peat for use in a producergas installation is dried by subjecting it, after a partial drying by pressure, or by comminution and storage, to a current of hot gases, which may be obtained by combustion of the producer gas, and are preferably mixed with air. The freshly-dug peat is broken in a Kraus machine, partly dried, and spread in lumps about the size of a fist on wire-gauze trays in trucks b. These trucks are passed through brickwork tunnels a of cross-section slightly larger than that of the trucks, and are treated at one end of the chamber or tunnel to a mixture of hot air products of combustion, at a temperature of about 105‹ C., supplied by the main c, pipes d, flues e, and ports f in the walls between the tunnels. The trucks travel in a direction opposite to that of the hot gases, from which the whole of the heat is not removed, the remainder being used to raise steam for the producer blast. The mixture of hot gases issues from the end of the chamber carrying a larger proportion of water than that required to saturate the gases at their temperature.

In the modification shown in Figs. 1 and 2, there are three equi-distant adjustable devices d, and two non- adjustable devices a. The adjustable devices are of the type in which the gripping - member has its inclination to the plane of the wheel varied and has therefore both a radial and a transverse movement and may be of the kind described in Specifications 5340/11 and 25,747/11. The non-adjustable devices may consist of a plate a<2> held against one side of the permanent rim b by a sleeve a<4> surrounding the bolt a'. Creeping is prevented by a block on the detachable rim fitting between lugs c secured to the fixed rim. In another modification, a fixed flange extending round from one-third to a half of the circumference of the wheel may be substituted for the non- adjustable members a, and in a further modification, in place of the adjustable holding- devices described above, a half-hoop or ring is hinged to the main-rim and holds the detachable rim in place by being bolted or otherwise secured in the plane of the wheel.
