Abstract: 10,376. Rateau, A. May 3, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Gases are compressed in stages by multi-cellular centrifugal blowers arranged on separate shafts driven by steam turbines arranged in parallel or in series-parallel, intercoolers of jet or surface condenser type being provided, while the blowers may be water-jacketed ; governing and regulating devices are provided as described in Specifications No. 24,414, A.D. 1903, and No. 3822, A.D. 1905. In the form shown in plan in Fig. 1, blowers A ... D, furnished with jet intercoolers E ... G, are driven directly by high and low pressure turbines L, H. To regulate the speed of the turbines and enable them to be stopped and started automatically in accordance with the final delivery pressure of the gas, the main steam supply is controlled by valves e, f actuated directly by a piston, or diaphragm, subject to delivery pressure and atmospheric pressure upon its opposite faces. In addition, the steam supply to each turbine may be regulated separately by a valve, such as i or j, actuated by a piston &c., the opposite faces of which are exposed to the inlet and delivery pressures of the corresponding blower, the distribution of power between the several turbines thus being maintained according to a predetermined ratio. The blowers may be driven by low-pressure turbines driven by s'eam which is exhausted from intermittently-working engines and regenerated in accumulators ; in this system, whenever the pressure in the accumulators falls below a predetermined amount, steam direct from the boilers is admitted automatically, by means of valves actuated by fluid pressure as above, to auxiliary high-pressure turbines which exhaust into the low - pressure turbines ; the auxiliary turbines normaly revolve idly.

Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 11,276. Auken, B. E. van. May 14. Steam traps; heating buildings. - Condensed water from a steam-heating system is forced by means of the steam pressure up the conduit A<7> into the float chamber A<2>, and when sufficient has collected to raise the float B, escapes into the discharge pipe D. Air in the pipes is driven similarly through the water in the pipe A<7> into the float chamber and escapes round the loose-fitting guide F, through the hole f<1> into the float, and thence through e to the discharge pipe. A leakage passage, such as a groove d<1> in the valve face or seating, is provided at the base of the float chamber to allow the condensed water to flow away when the valve is out of action. In a modification, there is a means of controlling the discharge of air through F by varying the number and size of the apertures leading to f<1> ; and, in a further modification, the discharge of air and steam is controlled thermostatically. The water can be emptied from the space A<6> by means of a screw valve H.
