Title: Improvements in the Regulation of Jet Condensers.
IPC: F28B11/00
Filed: 1909-10-08
Granted: 1910-10-10
Abstract: 23,041. Ehrhardt & Sehmer Ges. July 5, [Convention date]. Condenser systems.-The centrifugal pump supplying cooling water to a jet condenser is regulated according to the quantity of the vapours to be condensed, the measurement in the case of exhaust steam preferably taking place before the steam enters the working engine. A meter, such as Gehre's or Hallwachs', comprising a throttling- device on the steam-pipe connected on either side with a mercury manometer, is used in conjunction with an electric motor control system comprising means for altering the excitation of a continuouscurrent shunt-wound motor M which drives the cooling-water pump. The adjustment of the shunt is effected by means of an auxiliary motor H, which moves an adjustable nut S along the resistances I-VIII. The motor being switched on and off according to the movement of the mercury column of the manometer, by means of two spring-backed armature levers a, b acting in conjunction with contacts 1<a>-8<a> and 1-8, having equal resistances between them, on the manometer and the shunt regulator respectively. Should the mercury sink, for example, so as to insert the resistances 1<a>, 2<a>, the lever b falls across the contacts 10,11, and 12, 13. The current then passes to the motor in the direction of the arrow X, and the adjustable nut S cuts out the resistances I-II and 1-2.

Granted: 1910-11-11
Abstract: 26,133. Timmins, J. Nov. 11. Vapour - engines.- Vapour is generated from a liquid, the boiling-point of which is less than 150‹ F., in one or more coils of small pipe 1 passing through a pipe coil 2 of large diameter, which is heated by a burner or a coal fire. The annular space between the inner and outer coil, contains oil or other liquid of high boiling-point. The vapour, after doing work in the high- and low - pressure cylinders 8, 9 of a compound engine, passes through a separator 24 to a condenser 35. The separator 24 consists of a cylinder having a conical end, and provided with screens 33, 48, 25. The cone 25 is surrounded by a jacket 28 having heated-water or other liquid inlet and outlet pipes 29, 30. From the condenser 35, the vapour and condensed liquid are passed by a pump 18 through a second condenser 37, and the liquid is finally forced into the vaporizer 1 by a pump 17. The pump 18 is a compound one, and maintains the vacuum in both condensers. The condenser 37 is provided with an air-chamber 36, upon which are mounted a pressure gauge and a safetyvalve; the outlet from the safety-valve passes beneath the surface of an absorbing-liquid in a vessel 44. The heating-liquid in the coil 2 is circulated through the cylinder jackets by means of pipes 60, 61 entering at their tops. A vacuum casing 13 having double stuffing-boxes 14, 15, is arranged around the engine. In a modification applied to a two-cylinder compound engine, the heating-liquid circulates through the casing which contains some evaporating- coils, and the ordinary jackets are dispensed with.

Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 19,093. Hardingham, G. G. M., [Hartmann & Braun Akt.-Ges.]. Aug. 13. Electro-magnetic current and power meters.- A moving coil for a recording or other instrument moves rectilinearly across a magnetic field which is as uniform as possible, and of considerable extent. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the field is produced radially between a long cylindrical core e, and a hollow cylindrical pole-piece d, attached to plates b, c and forming the poles of a cylindrical permanent magnet a. Or the magnet and pole-pieces may consist of flat plates, producing fields which act on two opposite sides of the movable coil. The magnetic field may otherwise be produced by a solenoid surrounding the hollow pole-piece d; in a watt-meter this solenoid carries one of the component currents. The moving coil g is carried by a sleeve h provided with a tube i having perforated jewels k which slide on a stretched wire l. The tube is carried by two springs n, which are made of strips and are wound so that one half is to the right and the other to the left to prevent distortion. The springs act as conductors, and are connected with terminals carried by a bridge q, which, when the instrument is used for recording purposes, can be adjusted by a nut r, so as to regulate the position of a marker carried by the tube. In a modification of this arrangement, one spring is placed above the sleeve, and the other below. The movement of the coil is damped by air, or by a magnet. In another arrangement, shown in Fig. 5, the coil moves between an iron tube, part of which is wound with a magnetizing-solenoid, and an axial iron core; the axial core and iron tube may be omitted, and the solenoid may have an increasing thickness of winding near its lower end, in order to produce a uniform radial component of the field throughout the range of movement of the coil, only the radial component being effective.

Abstract: 6267. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. March 13. Azo dyes, forming on the material.-Azo dyes are produced on the fibre by combining a p-oxyazo dye derived from alpha-naphthol with a diazo compound or diazotized dye. It is prefered to use p-oxyazo dyes soluble in water or caustic soda, which yield sufficiently fast final products, for example, those obtained from diazotized aniline, toluidines, xylidines, or p-aminoacetanilide; dyes containing a sulphonic group can be employed if the final product is suitable, but those obtained from diazotized nitraniline, chloraniline, or aminoazobenzene, are less suitable. According to examples : - a brown shade is produced by padding cotton with a benzeneazo-alpha-naphthol solution and turkey-red oil and developing with diazotized p-nitraniline; material dyed with primuline is diazotized and developed with a solution of benzeneazo-alpha-naphthol, giving a brown shade ; a violet blue shade is obtained similarly from material dyed with oxamine violet; brown shades are produced by developing with diazotized aminoazobenzene material padded with benzeneazo-alpha-naphthol or p-sulphobenzeneazo-alphanaphthol. Diazotized aminoazotoluene, pchloranisidine, and p-nitroanisidine are also specified as suitable developers.
