Patent GB-191320902-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Internal Combustion Pumps.
Filed: 1913-09-16
Granted: 1914-09-16
Abstract: 20,902. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Sept. 16. Direct explosion apparatus.-In an internal-comoustion pump having an auxiliary charging and compression chamber fitted to the combustion chamber, the admission of the compressed charge to the combustion chamber is controlled by a valve which is opened when the main body of liquid in the play-pipe is near or at the end of its return stroke. Fig. 1'shows a pump having a combustion chamber 4, compression and charging chamber 5, play-pipe 1, 2, water-valves 8, 7, and air-vessels 6, 10, adapted to drive a turbine 12. The admission and exhaust valves &c. are operated by a cam shaft 25 driven by vanes 34 in the play-pipe, the valves and water-levels being shown in the positions occupied at the end of an out-stroke. At the beginning of the return stroke, which is brought about by the expansion of air in the vessel 6, the air or gas admission valve 16 closes under the action of the cam 22 and the expulsion of burnt products through the valve 20 commences. At the completion of the return stroke, the valve 20 closes, the transfer valve 14 opens, and the air or gas which has been compressed in the chamber 5 is transferred through the passage 13 into the combustion chamber. In the case in which air is thus transferred, the crude oil, coal dust, or other combustible is injected by a device 18, controlled by a cam 26, into the combustion chamber. Finally, ignition is effected by a device 21 also controlled by the cam shaft 25. The various cams on the shaft 25 are set at the positions necessary to bring about the series of operations in the proper sequence, and correct timing may be secured by means of a catch device 37, Fig. 2, which prevents the shaft 25 from rotating until the pressure in the chamber 5, acting on a spring-controlled piston 39, attains a certain value. The transfer of compressed air or gas may be effected slightly before the main body of water comes to rest, the final compression being effected in the combustion chamber 4. In a modified method of working, enough water may be allowed to enter through the valves 8 during the working stroke to expel the products of combustion from the chamber 4, the return stroke only effecting compression in the chamber 5. In this case, the air-admission valve 16 is opened and closed during the working stroke before the expulsion of burnt products occurs, and the exhaust valve 20 is closed when the water reaches it.

Abstract: 14,749. Connor, M. N. Oct. 19. Fire-engines; fireextinguishing by solutions or liquid mixtures.-The tank of a motor-driven fire-engine is so connected to a liquid pump and to compressed-gas cylinders that a continuous stream of gas or liquid, or both, may be discharged, or the liquid discharged without entering the tank. The apparatus comprises a pump 16, Fig. 3, driven by means of a clutch from the engine shaft, which delivers to a tank 37, Figs. 3 and 5, simultaneously supplied with compressed gas from the reservoirs 49. Stirrers 42, Fig. 5, in the tank are driven through worm gearing from a shaft driven by chain gearing 48, Fig. 3, from the pump shaft. The pump 16 normally d e l i v e r s through the pipe 77, passages 76, 75, Figs. 3 and 4, and valve 62, Fig. 5, to the tank 37. At the same time, gas is delivered from reservoirs 49 through tubes 51, which lead through a chamber where it is warmed by the engine exhaust, through reducing-valves 86, and along pipes 68, 67 to the tank. The mixture of water and gas leaves the tank by the pipes 70, 71 and valve 72 to the main delivery pipe 94. If it is required to deliver water without the use of the tank, the valve 62 is closed and the valve 82, Fig. 3, opened, whereupon water will be delivered directly from the pipe 77 to the branch 74. If the valve 72 is opened, some water will enter the tank as the delivery takes place. If it is required to deliver gas alone, the valves 62, 72, 82 are closed and the valve 91 opened, whereupon gas will flow from the tank through pipes 64, 65, 92 to the outlet main 94. Additional water deliveries are provided at 80, 84.
