Patent GB-191019336-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Processes of and Apparatus for Liquefying Carbonic Acid.
Inventor: HILDEBRAND FRITZ
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 1910-08-17
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 19,336. Hildebrand, F. June 3,. [Convention date]. Liquefying.-Carbonic acid is liquefied by expanding the compressed gas in a pipe system in which it is pre-cooled by carbonic-acid snow formed continuously by conducting liquefied carbonic acid into a sievelike structure surrounding the first part of the pipe system. The process is applicable for dealing with the exhaust from an engine actuated by carbonic acid with or without admixed air. The liquefied gas is drawn off by a feed-pump and conveyed to an evaporator for ice - making machines, or re-supplied to a carbonic - acid engine, as the case may be. As shown in Fig. 1, liquid carbonic acid under pressure is supplied through a pipe b to form carbonic-acid snow, which completely fills a sack d of linen, wire-mesh, &c. surrounding the first part e of a pipe system containing the compressed gas to be liquefied. The gas which, owing to evaporation of the snow, passes into the chamber k, is entrained into the pipe system at a nozzle h, and the mixture liquefies on escaping through a valve l into a chamber S. Any air mixed with the gas may be drawn off through a valve L or utilized as a cooling-agent in the chamber R. In a modification, the gas formed by the evaporation of the snow is drawn off from the chamber k, liquefied by passing it through a compressor and water - cooler of ordinary form, and re-supplied to the snow sack. Various constructions and arrangements of pipes and sieves are described for effecting a thorough exchange of heat between the compressed gas and the snow. Fig. 3 shows a construction of multiple-helix coil for use in a snow sack such as in Fig. 1, in which the gas passes successively upwards and downwards through four helices a, b, c, d. Fig. 5 shows coils of the type shown in Fig. 3 arranged concentrically so as to form a double pyramidal structure. The gas flows successively through the innermost coil B, third coil C, second coil D, and outermost coil E in the direction indicated by the numbers 1 to 17 and arrows. The pipes are preferably made of square, hexagonal, or like cross-section so as to minimize the air space between them. Instead of a single sieve-like receptacle, several such receptacles may be arranged radially round a coil system, either in star fashion or more closely together.

Abstract: 24,851. Soc. Anon. "Phi." Aug. 6, [Convention date]. Make - and - break switches, mechanical; spring straining- arrangements.-In a lighting or other system in which two batteries and a generator are used, one battery being connected to the lighting or other discharging - circuit while the other battery is being charged, a switch or commutator is provided by means of which a resistance is interposed in the circuit of the battery which has just been charged when this battery is placed in parallel with the second battery in the discharging- circuit, the resistance being afterwards short - circuited when the second battery is changed to the charging-circuit. The commutator comprises three blades a, b, c, one of which, b, can be moved in opposite directions by each of the two others. The connexions are shown in Fig. 1, e being the generator, g, h the two batteries, i the lighting-circuit, and f an automatic switch which connects the contacts f<1>, f<2> when the generator is in use, and the contacts f<3>, f<4> when it is not working normally. With the generator working normally and the commutator in the position shown in Fig. 2, the battery g is being charged, while the battery h is discharging through the circuit i. When the blade a is moved over and away from the arm b<o> on the blade b, the circuit of the generator is opened and the battery g is connected to the lighting- circuit through the resistance d. On moving over the blade c, the blade b is also carried over, and the battery h is connected to the generator and the resistance d is cut out. Finally, by moving back the blade c, the battery h is connected to the circuit i through a resistance d<1>, the resistance being cut out when the battery g is connected to the generator by bringing the commutator blades back to the position shown in Fig. 2. When the generator is not working normally, the switch f connects the contacts f<3>, f<4> and both batteries are placed in parallel with the circuit i whatever the position of the commutator. The blades a, c may be actuated by a clock-work through a worm j, toothed wheel j<1> and eccentric j<2> connected to a rod j<5> which is provided with collars k, k<1> adapted to strain strings k<2>, k<3> and subsequently release the latches l<1>, l<2>; whereupon the springs k<2>, k' give a quick movement.
