Title: Improvements in and relating to burners for oil and other fuel
IPC: F23D11/40
Filed: 1934-09-28
Abstract: 441,893. Liquid-fuel &c. burners. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London. Sept. 28, 1934, No. 27873. Convention date, Sept. 28, 1933. [Classes 75 (i) and 75 (iii)] An oil or other fuel burner suitable for use in the boiler furnace described in Specification 440,266, [Group XIII], is fitted with electrically controlled valve operating mechanism and is shielded from the heat of combustion by a plurality of spaced bowls. The burner comprises an oil tube 36 and an air tube 37 depending from a head 24 which is secured to the cover 17 of a bowl 15. The bowl 15 has a perforated dished portion 16 fitting tightly in a casing 13 secured in the flanged opening 12 of an outer bowl 10 which is clamped to the vertical tubular well 110 of the furnace. A bush 42 securing the tube 37 to the head 24 carries a casing 65 which is spaced away from the tube 37 by fins 71 and from the casing 13 by a perforated ring 67. The tube 36 is fitted with a valve 47 having a stem 50 formed with an enlarged head 51 extending into an oil chamber 33 formed between a plate 22 of electrical insulating material and a cover 27. The valve stem 50 is operated against the resistance of a spring 54 by the pivoted armature 52 of an electromagnet comprising a coil 56 wound around a core 57 screwed to the lower side of the cover 17. A magnetic path is completed from the core 57 to the head 24 which is of magnetic material by a strip 62 of magnetic material secured by non-magnetic screws and washers. Two ignition electrodes 74 provided with spark points 77 are secured by nuts 75 to the bowl 10, the lower parts of the electrodes being fitted with tubular heat shields 78. A control switch 80 attached to the cover 27 is operated by the difference in expansion occurring on combustion between a rod 84 and a surrounding tube 85 carried by the bowl 10. A combined air blower, compressed air pump, and oil pump 113 is mounted on a plate 112 insulated from the boiler shell 107, the compressed air being led by a tube 46 to a chamber 41 above the tube 37 and the oil being led through a tube 35 to the chamber 33. Combustion air passes from the blower through a flexible conduit 125 to the cone 15 and is delivered through the casing 13 to the flame. The holes in the ring 67 are of less area than the holes in the portion 16 so as to cause some of the air through holes 70 into the casing 65 for discharge around the nozzle body. An ignition transformer 123 supported by arms 96 on the bowl 10 is provided with spring contacts 124 engaging directly the electrodes 74. At starting the circuit to the unit 113 and transformer 123 is closed for short periods. When the flame is established the flame detecting device 84, 85 opens the ignition circuit and causes continuous operation of the unit 113.

Abstract: 270,770. Jansen, J. P. H. Nov. 10, 1925. Yeast.-In the propagation of yeast, small quantities of phosphates, e.g. sodium phosphate, or other salts capable of forming hexose compounds, are added to a dilute saccharine wort and large quantities of air or oxygen are supplied during the process. Open vats may be employed, or closed vats provided with safety valves. In apparatus of the open-vat type shown, four vats 1 are supplied with wort through pipes 3 having spraying nozzles 2, the wort passing through a series of perforate plates 7 and being subsequently carried into the succeeding vat through pipes 11 by the injector action of compressed air supplied to the pipes 3 from a main 6. The aeration of the wort effected by these operations is supplemented bv low pressure air in fine bubbles, supplied to the base of each vat through pipes 10, 9 and porous stone plates 8. The phosphates or other salts are stored in reservoirs 15 and are supplied by injectors, controlled by cocks 17 and projecting into the air-main 6. Each of the pipes 3 is controlled by a valve 5. Cooling coils 12, supplied with water through pipes 13, are provided in each vat. The Provisional Specification also describe the production of alcohol by the addition to a wort of phosphates or like salts and hydrocyanic acid, without aeration.

Filed: 1975-07-04
Abstract: 1491359 Ballasting BVS 4 July 1975 [26 July 1974] 28386/75 Heading B7A A constant-lift buoy, Fig. 2, for supporting a load in water, comprises a rigid shell 1 open at the bottom 10 which has means 52, 53, 54, for maintaining a constant volume of gas inside the shell, means 61, 62, 63, 64, for permitting the escape of gas to reduce the lift, and load engaging hooks 3. In use, the buoy is supplied with gas from a pipe-laying barge through a pipe 5, control valve 55 and a reducing valve 51. The float 54 opens and closes the valve 53 to maintain a constant volume of gas in the buoy. Gas pressure in a jack 64 holds the valve 61 on seat 62 to prevent the escape of gas. The weight of a bell housing 33 holds the jaws 3 closed through toggle mechanism 31. When a pipe 4 reaches the bottom, pressure in pipe 5 is reduced from the barge. This causes the release of a coupling 56. Valve 61 is now no longer held on its seat by jack 64 so air escapes through the pipe 6. As water rises inside the buoy the bell housing 33, which is full of gas, rises and opens the jaws 3. The speed of ascent of the buoy is reduced because only gas above the level of the pipe 6 is retained. Gas for the buoy may be generated on the buoy itself.
