Title: Apparatus for Automatically Regulating Furnace-draught.
Inventor: GRAHL GUSTAV DE
Filed: 1909-06-19
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 14,430. Grahl, G. de. June 19. Air supply, regulating; door frames; blast apparatus.-The valves regulating the supply of overgrate air for smoke-consuming in a boiler furnace are normally opened by the furnace draught induced by the exhaust, and when this is insufficient for the purpose are opened automatically by other means, auxiliary blast being also used if desired. As shown, ducts 4, 5 in the door frame for supplying the over-grate air have dampers 8, 9 pivoted along one edge so as to be capable of being lifted by the draught, and closed by gravity, springs being attached to them to assist their closing if desired. A shaft 10 having cranks 37, 38 carrying rollers 39, 40 engaging the dampers is rotatably connected by links 11 to the rod 12 of a piston 14 in a cataract cylinder 13 having an adjustable air hole 16. The space above the piston is connected by a pipe 29 with an ejector, to the nozzle of which steam may be supplied by a pipe 15, Fig. 5, from a chamber 17 in a valve 18. Within the valve casing 18 is a differential piston 19, 20 carrying a valve 21 and subjected on one side to the pressure existing in the valve-chest of the engine cylinder through a pipe 24. A pipe 22 conveys steam from the boiler to the chamber 17, whence in addition to passing to the ejector nozzle it may also pass by a valved pipe 36 to an auxiliary blast around the main blast nozzle. In operation, when the steam supply to the valve chest is cut off, the steam by its pressure in the pipe 22 opens the valve 21, and passes both to the ejector nozzle and also to the auxiliary blast through the pipe 36. The piston 14 is raised owing to the action of the ejector, and the valves 8, 9 are consequently opened. The auxiliary blast may also be used in conjunction with the main blast by opening a valve 43 in a pipe 42 connecting the steam-pipe 22 with the chamber 17.
