Filed: 1941-10-22
Abstract: 553,605. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control ystems. GRATER, N. Oct. 22, 1941, No. 13584. [Class 135] A control mechanism for gas-fired apparatus comprises an automatic temperature or pressure " on " and " off " control adapted to control both the gas " on " and " off " and induced draught " on " and " off " and is arranged so that when the automatic control provides for " off " both gas and draught are " off " and when the control changes to " on " the draught comes " on " followed by the gas "on." In the form shown in the Figure the gas enters through a conduit 13 and is controlled by a diaphragm 12 adapted to co-operate with an upstanding tubular seat 11. A byepass passage controlled by a valve 40 provides for a limited supply for lighting purposes. Inlet gas pressure is supplied to the chamber above the diaphragm through a passage 17 under the control of a diaphragm valve 16 actuated by a diaphragm 18 which also actuates a mercury switch 24 arranged to control the induced draught. The chamber above the diaphragm 18 which is provided with a leak-away port 19a is supplied with gas from the main gas inlet under the control of a valve 20 actuated by a bellows 21 subject to a control pressure e.g. steam pressure or thermostatic means. Gas is also supplied to the chamber above the diaphragm through pipes 26, 27 under the control of a valve 25 actuated by a diaphragm 28 connected through pipes 29, 30 to the suction and discharge sides of the induced draught fan. A further supply to the chamber is admitted through a passage 38 under control of a valve 35 adapted to be closed and held closed by gas pressure acting on a diaphragm 34. When weighted catches 36 are released by depressing a push member 37. When the gas is first turned on it reaches the chamber 14 through all three passages to hold the main gas valve closed. The valve 20 being open pressure builds up in the chamber 19 to close the valve 16 and move the switch 24 to the "on" position. As the draught comes on the valve 25 is closed and when the push 37 is depressed to allow the valve 35 to close gas in the chamber 14 leaks away through a port 39 and the main gas valve snaps open and remains open until one or other of the valves 16, 25 are opened An indicator lamp may be fitted to indicate which control valve is holding the main valve closed. The mercury switch may control a motor-actuated flue damper or the pressure actuating the diaphragm 18 may actuate a damper which may control either the normal chimney draught or the output from a continuously running fan. A time control may operate a master switch for the'fan motor. Specifications 473,890 and 490,370, [Group XI], are referred to.

Title: Waste material converter
Inventor: HARDY WOODROW
IPC: C05F17/02
Filed: 1963-04-05
Abstract: In the continuous production of fertilizer from garbage or dewatered sewage by aerobic thermophilic decomposition in a horizontally moving bed in a digester, a line of rotary screws or bucket conveyers is passed through the bed to raise material from the bottom to the top of the bed.  1-10% of the bed may be agitated at one time.  The temperature in the bed may be 120-170 DEG  F.  A desired temperature may be maintained by controlling the speed of movement of the screws through the bed or by controlling the speed of rotation of the screws. According to Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown), a circular digester 11 has screw agitators 15 which are carried by a rotary carriage 20 which also carries a conveyer for feeding fresh material around the periphery of the bed.  The fertilizer product flows over an inner wall 35 through an opening 34 to a conveyer 39.  The screw agitators may be at an angle of 12 degrees with the vertical (Fig. 4, not shown) to aid movement through the material.  Each agitator may be surrounded by a sleeve (Fig. 5 and 6, not shown) having an outlet port which may be rotated to direct material in a direction opposite to that of travel of the carriage or towards inner wall 35. Air may be drawn or forced through the interior of the agitators to outlets below the surface of the bed (Figs. 7-9, not shown).  Air may also be supplied through perforated air distribution pipes near the floor of the digester or through opening 34.  The carriage may carry barriers (Figs. 12-14, not shown) which prevent material passing along the surface of the bed.  Alternatively, a single annular barrier may be provided (Fig. 15, not shown).  In another embodiment (Fig. 10, not shown), material may pass from one side to another of a rectangular digester and the agitators may pass repeatedly in one direction across the direction of travel of the material.  In a longer rectangular bed (Fig. 11, not shown), the agitators may pass down one side of the bed and up the other.
