Filed: 1910-06-01
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 13,327. Koppers, H. June 1. Ammonium salts.-Fixed ammonia is removed from distillation and like gases by treating near the dew-point, that is at approximately 80‹ C., with a circulating body of water, which becomes partly saturated with ammonium salts, chiefly the chloride, a portion of the liquor is drawn off, and the salts are recovered by evaporation; or it may be treated with sulphuric acid, and the sulphate so obtained added in the form of lye or solid salt, to that. produced in the saturator. The apparatus comprises a washer 11 for the removal of the fixed ammonia, the washing-liquor being circulated from a tank 14 by a pump 15. The gases pass through a cooler 17, and are forced by a pump 18 through. a tar-separator 19 and then through a heater 20, so as to avoid condensation in the saturator 21 provided for the removal of the free ammonia. The salt from this saturator is removed through a pipe 29, and the acid is run in through a pipe 28 and meets, in a mixing-chamber 24, part of the liquor from the washer 11, before passing into the saturator. The hydrochloric acid produced in the mixing-chamber is led away by a pipe 27.

Title: Improvements in Steam Traps.
Inventor: PATERSON ROBERT HOWIE
IPC: F16T1/06
Filed: 1911-01-14
Granted: 1912-01-15
Abstract: 1070. Paterson, R. H. Jan. 14. Steam - traps.-In a trap operated by the expansion of a tube relatively to a freelymounted strut, rigid connexions are provided in the trap frame for the external steam and drain pipes, the expansion tube being secured to one, and its free end connected through one or more rigid tubes, arranged so as not to affect the working of the trap, to the other. In a trap shown in elevation and plan in. Figs. 4 and 5, the valve chamber a is placed between the expansion tube b and a connecting tube c. Longitudinal expansion of the tube b relative to a strut e actuates the valve through a bellcrank lever g, while expansion of the tube c relatively to the tube b only moves the valvechamber transversely and therefore does not influence the valve-opening. In a modification, shown in Fig. 7, the valve-chamber is secured to the frame at the outlet, and the tubes are connected by a U-piece. In another modification there are two struts, mounted above and below the tubes, with a rocking abutment at the free end. In the trap shown in Fig. 1, the strut is mounted above the tube b so as to cause depression of a valve-chamber a, placed between the tube b and the connecting-tube, when the tube b contracts. In a modification, the expansion-tube b is connected to the upper part of the valve-chamber, and the connecting- tube c is bent so as to be connected to the lower part. In another modification shown in Fig. 12, the valve-chamber is placed between a tube c and a lower tube b<2> connected to the tube b through a cored fitting j. In another modification, shown in Fig. 9, the valve-chamber a is secured to the frame at the outlet, and the tubes are connected by a U-piece a', the lateral motion of which is communicated to the valve by a rocking beam k. The strut e may in all cases have a resilient abutment consisting of a strong spring m, Fig. 1, or a spring-pressed wedge. Specification 28,182/08 is referred to.
