Patent GB-191207497-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Turbine Dynamio Plant.
IPC: F01D17/00
Filed: 1912-03-27
Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 7497. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 27. Plant.-A turbo-generator plant is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. A high-pressure high-speed turbine 1, driving an induction generator 8, exhausts into a low-pressure low-speed turbine 4 driving a synchronous type of alternator 13. The two generators are connected to bus-bars 11. As the two turbine elements are thus electrically connected, a fixed speed relation between their shafts is preserved. One governor only, therefore, will be required for the two turbines. The governor 5<a> is driven off the lowpressure turbine and controls the admission of steam to the conduit 2 of the high-pressure turbine. The throttle valve is operated by the governor through the intermediary of a fluidpressure relay. The high- and low-pressure turbines are preferably of the impulse and reaction types respectively, the latter being duplex. As a modification, both generators may be of the induction type.

Abstract: 22,688. Harris, J. Nov. 18. Rousting-furnaces. - In a mechanical roasting-furnace having hearths at two or more levels, passage of gases from one hearth chamber to another is prevented by connecting the drop opening 5 with the atmosphere by an air conduit 6. An increased draught in one chamber thus tends to draw in air through the conduit 6 rather than gases from the adjacent chamber. The conduit is formed with a T-head S, which may either form the drop opening, or may be fitted with a bush 9, as shown, having baffles 10 and an aperture registering with the conduit. The cross-section of the air conduit is preferably greater than that of the effective passage for the ore. A damper may be provided for the air conduit, and the passage of ore may be controlled by a slide 18. As a further means of preventing interchange of gases between adjacent hearths, an apertured disk 12 rotating with the rabble-shaft may be provided. The ore is banked up on the disk by a blade 15 un the rabble-arm, and drops through the passage 5 when the opening 13 is in registcr. The underside of the disk is preferably formed with a peripheral flange 16 and a scraper blade. The finishing - hearth 1 is heated by gases passing both above and below it.
