Abstract: 1,233,697. Monitoring an oil stream. MOBIL OIL CORP. Sept. 3, 1969, [Oct. 3, 1968], No.43583/69. Heading G1A. In an apparatus for monitoring the degradation of an oil stream flowing along a passage 109, a minor portion of the stream is diverted through a conduit 110 into an oil monitoring chamber 111 placed between a light source (13) and a photodetector (15) the detector output signal being displayed, e. g. on a recorder (27) to indicate the degradation of the oil stream. To compensate for temperature variations in the detector environment, a further light source and detector (12, 14) are located in an empty passage adjacent the passage 109, the two detectors forming one arm of a bridge arrangement Fig. 1 (not shown). The out-of-balance bridge signal indicates the degradation of the oil and is indicated on the recorder (27). To set a zero level on the recorder, and also to compensate for bridge balance drift, a transparent displacing device 114 is periodically lowered into the chamber. This action flushes out substantially all of the oil, and with the device in this lowered position the bridge current is set to zero using a rheostat (23). This displacing and calibrating action is repeated at regular intervals during the monitoring process. A variable resistor (21, 22) is provided in series with each lamp to control their respective intensities. The detectors and lamps may be remote from the chamber, optical communication being provided by light guides. A return conduit may be provided between the chamber 111 and the passage 109 so that a diverted stream of oil flows through the chamber.

Abstract: 1,251,222. Liquid-ring pumps. BELL BROS. (MANCHESTER) Ltd. and C. H. GARDINER. June 17, 1969 [June 17, 1968], No. 28643/68. Heading F1C. A rotary compressor or vacuum pump of the water-ring type, is supported by its driving motor 11, Fig. 3, and has an inlet chamber 13 at the drive side of the pumping chamber 2. Operation of the pump causes air to be drawn into chamber 2 via inlet manifold 15, chamber 13 and inlet ports (8), Fig. 4 (not shown), and air to be discharged through outlet ports (3), Fig.2 (not shown), and outlet manifold 5. When the pressure in the latter reaches, e.g. 5 p.s.i.g., a pressure-operated valve (not shown) in a water supply line permits water to pass through a pipe 16 into the chamber 13 from where it passes into chamber 2 to form the water-ring therein. The relatively lowpressure in chamber 13 prevents water from moving towards the driving motor. An annular groove 22 inhibits water flow towards the motor along sleeve 19.
