Granted: 1911-08-25
Abstract: 15,208. East, W., Dobbs, A. E., and Howkins, J. S. June 25. Feed-water, controlling. - A thermostatic apparatus for regulating the water-level in a steam-boiler or the like comprises a plain tube or chamber communicating with the boiler at the normal water-level, and heated by superheated steam or other medium of higher temperature than the boiler steam. The variations of temperature caused by the entry of water or steam into the tube or chamber is utilized to operate the feed-control device on the lines described in Specification 5587/09. The expansion and contraction of the tube a, Fig. 1, in communication with the boiler and heated by superheated steam in a jacket b, operates the valve supplying steam to the feed-pump. In a modification, the jacket is replaced by a coiled tube. In another modification, the feed-control device is operated by the expansion and contraction of the jacket. The tube may be heated directly by a burner. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 4, the variations in the temperature of superheated steam, which is passed around the tube a, are utilized to operate the feed-control device f through a thermostat a<1>.
