Patent GB-190912657-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Steam Generators.
Inventor: OTTO FROMME
IPC: F22D5/14
Filed: 1909-05-28
Abstract: 12,657. Fromme, O. June 6, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] [Addition to 2488/09, Class 123 (ii), Steam generators]. Regulating delivery by by-passes and by opening suction valves. -The supply of feedwater to a flash boiler is controlled by the temperature of the steam through a thermostat which holds the suction valve of the feed-pump open, or which opens a by-pass between the suction and delivery sides of the pump. The thermostat consists of a tube b, Fig. 1, to which a ball-valve f and a rod i are attached by means of a ball e and a screw collar v, so that the rod can continue to expand after the valve f is seated. Through a slot in the rod i passes a lever k operating a slide valve l, which puts a pipe n in communication with the atmosphere through the pipe p, or with the boiler through the casing g, as the tube b lengthens or shortens. The valve is operated when the tube b lengthens by steam acting on the piston q. When the steam is admitted to the pipe n, it acts on the piston w, Fig. 2, so that the inlet valve z of the feed-pump is held open. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the rod i is attached directly to a valve d which, when open, allows steam to act on the plunger w' and thus to establish communication between the two sides of the feed-pump through the valve w<1>.
