Abstract: 11,517. Burkheiser, K. May 12. Ammonium sulphate, and sulphite. -In recovering ammonium sulphite and sulphate from gas according to Specifications 20,920/08 and 21,763/08, the ammonia, cyanogen, and sulphuretted hydrogen removed from the gas by the initial cooling are returned to the gas either in or before reaching the coolers through which the gas passes before reaching the purifiers for increasing the yield of ammonium salts. Gas from the main 2 passes to a condenser 4 and through a pump 6 to a scrubber 8 for removing tar. The tar and ammonia liquor pass from traps 54, 56 to a sump 60. The ammonia liquor is drawn from a sump 61 by a pump 64 to a tank 66, and is thence fed to a distilling column 68 which receives milk of lime from a pump 70. The vapours from the column 68 pass by a pipe 72 back to the main gas-stream, which they reach either before or, as shown in the drawing, in the condenser 4. The condenser contains drip plates 74, which may be specially cooled, and gutters 75 for collecting the large drops which form owing to the sudden cooling of the vapours from the distillation-column 68. The condensate is led from the gutters 75 to the sump 60. The gas passes by the path 5, 6, 8, 9 to the purifiers 11<a>, 11<b>.

Abstract: 10,655. Submersible & J.-L. Motors, Ltd., and Poynder, H. B. May 4. Alternating-current induction machines; coils and conductors; machines for special mechanical purposes.-The stator conductors a, a<1>, &c., Fig. 1, of a three-phase induction motor, which is supplied with currents of low voltage, are reduced to the minimum necessary for given pole-numbers, and are either uninsulated from the surrounding iron or are protected by a very light insulating-covering of refractory material e, such as enamel or mica. Thus, for a twopole stator; three thick conductors only are used, six conductors .being used for a four-pole stator, and so on. The conductors are connected at one side to three-phase leads A, B, C, and at the other side to a ring forming a common star connexion. The stator laminae may be in the form of sections, which are built up so that their ends do not meet, whereby leakage of currents between the conductors is prevented or reduced. The stator conductors may be supplied with currents of suitable voltage through a transformer, which may be mounted at the end or on the top of the machine. The invention is particularly applicable to machines in which liquid is allowed to circulate in the stator casing, and the conductors may be tubular and allow the liquid to pass through them. The machines are applicable for use under water, for example in combination with a pump in salvage work; the casing of the transformer in this case is preferably filled with bitumen, wax, &c.

Filed: 1912-09-18
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 21,278. Price, S. L. Sept. 18. Centrifugal governors.-The invention relates to centrifugally-operated friction clutches particularly applicable for driving dynamos. Balls or weights h move in a cage g carried by the driven shaft a and bear upon levers j, which have arms k disengaging the cones b, d on excessive speed. The arms k may act centrifugally to assist the action. A ratchet clutch o, p may be interposed between the cone b and the shaft a or within the driving-member. With this form, when the clutch is used for driving a dynamo for charging accumulators, if the speed of the driving-part d falls, the dynamo becomes a motor driven by the accumulators, and the shaft a speeds up and overruns the cone b so that the centrifugal parts disengage the clutch. The clutches may be combined with retracting - devices of the kind described in Specification 13,555/11, [Class 80 (ii), Gearing, Variable-speed &c.]. An extension of the driving-member may form a casing.
