Inventor: PAUL JAMES WASHINGTON
IPC: A62B19/00
Filed: 1919-04-28
Abstract: 126,297. Paul, J. W., and Hall, C. July 10, 1916, [Convention date]. Fluid-actuated valves.-Relates to regenerative breathing-apparatus for use in noxious atmospheres, and comprises inter alia the particular constructions of a pressure-reducing valve fitted to the main oxygen supply, and of a regulator comprising, or used in conjunction with, a flexible chamber delivering oxygen as required through an automatic valve to a main breathing-bag. The reducing-valve 30, Fig. 5, comprises an inlet nozzle 31 fitted with a sponge or other filter 33 and a wire screen or felt pad 34 and controlled by a valve member 36 guided in a bracket 37. The member 36 is connected by a link 38 to a bellcrank lever 39 pivotally connected to a metallic bellows 42 open to the atmosphere and under pressure of a spring 44 adjustable by a screw 45. Oxygen from the chamber 30 of the reducing- valve passes by a restricted outlet 46 and a pipe 47 to the automatic regulator 7. The automatic regulator, Fig. 7, comprises an inlet valve 50 connected to a lever 51 pivoted at 52 and pressed, to hold the valve closed, bv an adjustable spring 53. The end of the lever 51 is forked at 55 to engage a projection 56 carried by a lever 57 connected to bellows 60 open to the atmosphere. The pro. jection 56 serves, under the action of the bellows and of a spring 61, if fitted, to open or close the valve 50 so as to maintain a constant pressure of oxygen in the casing of the regulator, whence it is delivered, as required, through a pipe 8 to a flexible bag 11. Outlets 12<1>, Figs. 1 and 2<a>, from the inner bag 11 to the main breathing bag 9 are controlled by a valve 12 normally closed by a spring 13 adjustable by a screw collar 13<1>. The valve may be manually operated, when required. by a finger lever 26, but normally operates automatically, either by reduction of pressure on the valve member due to inhalation from the main bag or by pressure of the reinforced outer wall of the main bag 9 on the inner bag 11 when the main bag becomes deflated. In a modification, the automatic regulator consists of a rubber bag enclosed within an open-work casing and delivering oxygen through a pipe 8, Fig. 12, to regulating- means within the main breathing-bag 9<a>, the flexible inner bag being dispensed with. In this form, the flow of gas to the breathing-bag is controlled by a valve 12a normally closed by a spring 13<a> and controlled by a lever 16 pivoted at 67. The valve is opened, on deflation of the breathing-bag, by a lever 68 which bears on the lever 66 and is assisted to close by bellows 11<a> open to the oxygen pressure in the pipe 8.

Title: Improvements in the production of hydrocarbon products by the destructive hydrogenation of solid carbonaceous materials
IPC: C10G1/00
Filed: 1935-04-05
Abstract: Solid carbonaceous materials are pretreated prior to destructive hydrogenation with sulphur in one of the following forms (1) sulphur vapour, (2) vapours of volatile inorganic sulphur compounds free from oxygen, e.g. hydrogen sulphide, sulphurous chloride, carbon disulphide, thiophene, mercaptans, (3) vapours of volatile organic sulphur compounds containing oxygen, e.g. carbon oxysulphide, (4) liquid sulphur, (5) liquid sulphur compounds free from oxygen and halogens, e.g. carbon disulphide, thiophene, mercaptans, alkyl sulphides, (6) solutions of sulphur or of sulphur compounds free from metals and oxygen, e.g. solutions of hydrogen sulphide, ammonium sulphide, thiourea, diphenyl sulphide, thio ethers, or vinyl sulphide, (7) solutions of liquid sulphur compounds containing oxygen of nonacidic character, e.g. sulphones.  The carbonaceous materials are pretreated with the vaporous agents by being heated to 50--350 DEG  C. in their presence and with the liquid agents by spraying, soaking or sprinkling therewith.  The sulphur and sulphur compounds may be obtained in solution by dissolving them in carbon disulphide, tetrahydronaphthalene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene or aqueous solution of ammonium sulphide.  The pretreatment may be carried out in presence of organic liquids, e.g. middle oils the boiling point of which lies above the treating temperature.  Ash may first be removed from the coal by mechanical treatment or by washing with acids which may be left in the material to be treated.  The materials may also be soaked with catalysts suspended in water or organic solvents. Catalysts specified comprise oxides, sulphides, phosphates of the metals of Groups 2 to 8, and halides and organic halogen compounds. Distributing agents, e.g. active carbon, coke impregnated with acids and activated with steam may also be added.  German brown coal having a 25 per cent oxygen content is finely ground and soaked with an aqueous solution of ammonium molybdate and then introduced into a heated tube through which hydrogen sulphide is passed for two hours at 300 DEG  C.  The coal pasted with oil is then destructively hydrogenated in thin layers in an autoclave under a pressure of 250 atmos. and at 450 DEG  C. 98,6 per cent of the coal is converted into liquid products. In another example the coal is dried and sprinkled with ammonium sulphide so that 1 per cent of sulphur is absorbed thereby. Specifications 247,582, [Class 32], 374,567, and 406,006 are referred to.

Title: Process for the reduction of sulphur dioxide to elemental sulphur
IPC: C01B17/04
Filed: 1937-04-14
Abstract: In the reduction of sulphur dioxide to sulphur by means of a reducing fuel bed, the sulphur dioxide containing gases are introduced into the bottom of the furnace at a high initial temperature, e.g. approximately 1000 DEG  C., and above 900 DEG  C., and the progressive increase of temperature through the bed is avoided by the introduction of further quantities of sulphur dioxide at higher levels of the fuel bed, e.g. spaced at one-seventh and one-third of the height of the fuel bed.  The main portion of the sulphur dioxide is preheated by any suitable method, preferably by admixture with air followed by heat exchange with the hot exit gases from the reduction furnace, prior to injection into the reduction furnace.  The sulphur dioxide added at points up the reducing bed may also be preheated, if desired, to about 400 DEG  C.

Filed: 1922-04-18
Abstract: 190,105. Aktiebolaget Ljungstr÷ms Angturbin. Dec. 9, 192], [Convention date]. Cooling condensers, air blast for.-In condensers for locomotives which are cooled by fanforced air collected by adjustable louvres on the condenser vehicle, dual controlling means are fitted for manual operation from the driver's cab, so that the speed of the fans and the adjustment of the louvres can be controlled simultaneously or separately. The fans 9 are driven by friction wheels 11 which are moved axially to vary the speed. The drive for the friction wheel shaft is taken from a member in the gear box 14 of the main turbine through a shaft 13 and a second gear box 12. A centrifugal governor or other automatic controlling means may be mounted in the gear box 12 and driven from one of the fans through chain or like gearing 16 so as to move the wheels 11 nearer to the axis of the fans to increase the speed of rotation, as the speed of the locomotive slackens, and vice versa.
