Abstract: 113,675. Pike, F. J., and Neville, H. March 8, 1917. Operating doors hydraulically.-A control valve for use in reversible two-main hydraulic systems is combined with an automatic commutating-valve provided with two chambers which are always open to pressure and exhaust respectively. As shown in Fig. 1, the control valve consists of a slide a arranged over an exhaust port d and ports e, c which communicate with the door-operating cylinder. The slide a is mounted between adjusting- screws 7, 8 on a plunger 9 operated by a lever 16. The oommutating-valve consists of two stem valves r, s guided by ports in the walls of chambers o, k, which always ccmmunicate with the valve chamber b and the exhaust port d respectively. The chambers o, k are arranged between chambers j, l, which communicate with mains No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. When main No. 1 is the pressure main, the stem valves are in the position shown, the cones t, r closing the lower port in the chamber k and the upper port in the chamber o respectively. When main No. 2 is the pressure main, the cones u, r close the upper port in the chamber k and the lower port in the chamber o. The chambers o, k are formed from a single chamber which is divided by a plug n. The chamber k is connected to the exhaust port d by a port v and passages x, y, z. The chamber l is connected to the main 2 by a passage p. The slide a is moved upwards and downwards for door-opening and door-closing respectively, whether main No. 1 or main No. 2 is under pressure. The cavity in the slide a may be of suffcient length to short-circuit the ports c, e when the slide is in the mid-position. To provide for automatic movement of the slide a to the door-closing position when main No. 2 is put under pressure, the plunger 9 is provided with a ram 12 which passes into a chamber 10 in communication through a passage 11 with the passage p. The stern valves work in detachable liners 3, 4, and detachable plugs 1, 2, 5 are provided to permit of insertion of the valves. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the slide a is formed with a through-port 17 and works against a tubular member 18 which surrounds the outlet of the pressure chamber o. The member 18 is provided with a packing 19 and is pressed against the slide by fluid pressure, a spring may also be provided for this purpose. The slide controls two ports e, c communicating with the door-operating cylinder. The pressure and exhaust chambers o, 21 are formed as separate cells in the casing, the chamber 21 communicating through a port with the valve chamber b.

Title: Generation of power from a solid carbonaceous material or fuel
Inventor: EASTMAN DUBOIS
IPC: F02C3/20
Filed: 1956-02-08
Abstract: In a gas turbine plant a fluid suspension of solid carbonaceous material such as coal in a vaporizable liquid is passed under pressure and at a velocity in excess of 25 feet per second through a heating zone where it is heated to such a temperature as to vaporize the liquid, thus forming a dispersion of particles of the carbonaceous material of reduced size in the vapour.  The particles are burned under pressure in a combustion apparatus and the gases produced are fed to the gas turbine.  Combustion in the combustion chamber may be incomplete whereby a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen suitable as a source of feed gas for the synthesis of ammonia or hydrocarbons is produced.  In this case it may be desirable to supply oxygen-enriched air or relatively pure oxygen instead of air to the combustion chamber.  Specification 683,318, [Group II], is referred to.

Abstract: 1,177,834. Coking solid fuels. L. & C. STEINMULLER G.m.b.H. 27 Jan., 1967 [28 Jan., 1966], No. 4225/67. Heading C5E. A method of continuously coking solid fuel on one or more travelling grates in which the fuel is passed through consecutive preheating, degasification and cooling zones, comprises passing O 2  upwards through the fuel in the degasification zone partially to combust the gases evolved in that zone, and passing an inert gas upwards through the coked fuel in the cooling zone and then downwards through the fuel in the preheating zone. The inert gas leaving the preheating zone may be recycled to the cooling zone. The admission of O 2  to various sections of the degasification zone is controlled so that a constant combination factor is maintained throughout all the sections, the combustion factor being the proportion of the evolved gases burnt. Flue gas, e.g. from an associated steam boiler, may be mixed with the O 2 , and the flue gas or the hot inert gas from the cooling zone may be employed to preheat the O 2 . The zones may be separated by partitions, and each zone may comprise a separate travelling grate, or the cooling zone may be a second grate which may be at a lower level than the other, and in this case the division between the grates may be a column of coke.

Abstract: 567,202. Conveyers. TEMPLETON, R. A. S., and FARMERS' MARKETING & SUPPLY CO., Ltd. March 17, 1943, No. 4331. [Class 78 (i)] [Also in Group VI] In the preparation of vegetables and other moisture-containing perishable food materials by immersion in one or more baths for washing, blanching, sterilizing or cooking prior to dehydration or canning, the-material is shredded or cut into small pieces, loaded upon grid-like trays and then evenly distributed over the trays by liquid flotation to ensure uniformity of action in the baths. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the material is fed from a shredding or slicing machine c upon trays d carried by an endless conveyer e through hatches a, b. The distribution of the material over the trays by the liquid in the bath a may be accelerated by agitating the trays or the liquid and sterilization may be effected by an agent in the liquid. The bath b may be provided with steam pipes y for cooking the material, the guide-wheels i<1> of the conveyer being mounted on a carriage k adjustable by a screw l for regulating the period of immersion. The trays d may be detachable from cradles f on the conveyer and loading and unloading tables g, h provided. Grid-like covers may be placed on the trays after loading to prevent the material being washed off. In a modified arrangement, shown in plan in Fig. 2, the trays d are fed with material from the machine c as they pass along a runway m and delivered to a hydraulically-operated lift n which is lowered step-by-step into a bath o to enable the trays to be stacked one upon another. An empty tray or grid-like cover may be placed upon the topmost tray. On lowering the trays into the liquid in the bath, which may contain a sterilizing agent, the material is evenly spread over the trays. The lift is then raised and the trays are conveyed along a runway p to further lifts q, t, v for successive treatment in a blanching or cooking bath r and a chamber u for cooling or partial drying and final transfer to trolleys x for conveyance to a canning station or through a drying oven D. On leaving the latter, the trolleys are taken to a loading point y when the material is discharged into a hopper and the trays are returned along an inclined runway z to the runway m.
