Title: Improvements in Refrigerating and Ice Making Apparatus.
Inventor: TYLER ALFRED HUGH
Filed: 1900-09-18
Granted: 1901-09-07
Abstract: 16,570. Tyler, A. H. Sept. 18. Ice - making and refrigerating.-Relates to ammonia - absorption refrigerating machinery, more particularly of the type described in Specification No. 4035, A.D. 1892. The vessels C, D, acting alternately as generators or absorbers, are mounted on a stand over the condenser F, and are connected to two separate rectifying- c o i l s placed in a common water veseel E. The generators C, D have one end permanently closed by welding or casting, and all the tubes &c. are carried by plates bolted on the other end. The whole of the cooling-water is sent successively through the condenser F, rectifier E, and absorber C or D. Four-way valves K, K<1> are crossconnected on the coils in the vessels C, D to direct steam and cooling-water through them, and these valves are worked separately instead of being coupled. One valve K has an extra port, arranged so that the cooling-water, or steam generated therefrom, may be sent through the vessel which has just acted as the generator into the other vessel, and thereby. economize the steam supply at the start. All the gas connections are controlled by a single six-way cock L connected at 5, 6 to the generators, at 3, 4 to the rectifying- coils, at 1 to the condenser, and at 2 to the return gas pipe. The ports 7, 9 in the plug connect the ends 1, 2 to the branches 5 or 6 and 3 or 4, and the port 8 can connect the branches 3, 6 to equalize the pressure in the generators. Distilled water, cooled by passing it over a surface refrigerator, is used over and over again for cooling the generators &c., and is increased in bulk by the condensed steam from the heating-coils and steam trap S. The alternate heating and cooling frees the gas and other impurities, so that this water can be used for the production of clear ice after filtration if necessary. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the brine in the brine tank mav be circulated by an air jet, and also that clear ice is produced by circulating water through cells immersed in the brine tanks.

Patent GB-190306443-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Regulating Valve.
Inventor: GREEN ALFRED RAYNE
Filed: 1903-03-20
Granted: 1904-02-25
Abstract: 6443. Green, A. R. March 20. Lift valves; actuating valves.-A. regulating- valve for steam, water, gases, or the like is constructed with two seats and valves, the smaller of which opens in the direction of the pressure in advance of the larger valve, in order to facilitate the opening of the larger valve against the pressure of the fluid. The valves e, f are, preferably, loosely mounted on separate spindles e', f<1>, which pass out through oppositely arranged covers g, h of the casing. The valve e may form a guide for the valve f. In the arrangement shown, the spindles are jointed to levers i, j, pivoted, respec. tively, to links i<2>, j<2> on the valve casing ; the levers are connected by a rod, which is screwed at the lower end to work in a nut q carried in a sleeve p on the end of the lever j. The sleeve p is operated by the hand-wheel o. On turning the wheel in one direction, the valve f is first raised, so that the rush of fluid tends to equalize the pressure between the inlet a and the outlet b of the casing. The valve f continues to open until the lever j abuts against a stop r on the casing, when the larger valve e is opened. In a modification, the levers i, j are connected by a rod, which is reversely threaded at its ends and passes into screw nuts on the levers i, j. The rod, in this case, is rotated by a band-wheel. In another modification, one end only of the rod is screwed, the other end being provided with collars to rotate in a sleeve at the end of the corresponding lever. Where the valve is required to be opened and closed quickly, as for hauling and winding engines, winch and crane engines, the lower end of the rod is connected to one arm of a bell-crank hand-lever, pivoted on the lever j so that, on one pulling forward the hand-lever, the levers i, j will, successively, move as before to open the valves. As the smaller valve can be moved without the other, it may be used as a manoeuvring or bye-pass valve.
