Secondary batteries.-Relates to a roller press or mill for forming ribs or ridges on lead plates. The ribs or ridges are formed in groups separated by smooth parts, and all the ribs lie obliquely to the direction of rolling, while the ribs in any one group lie in a direction oblique to those of adjacent groups as shown in Fig. 3. The lead, heated to a suitable degree, is driven by a piston from the the cylinder of a lead press of the usual kind through a mouthpiece and between two rollers mounted in adjustable bearings and geared together so that they rotate at the same speed in opposite directions. Each roller is made up of discs m, n, o, p, Fig. 2, provided with ribs or ridges running obliquely on their periphery. These discs are separated from each other by discs q with smooth peripheries. On the outside of the discs m and p there are arranged smooth discs rand s, which form the margin and edge of the plate, Fig. 3. The discs are held together by bolts t. The smooth parts u in the ribbed discs serve to form transverse borders and edges to the plates, and they are subsequently cut through in the centre of these smooth parts to form separate plates. Fig. 4 shows in section a pair of pressing-rollers modified in form so as to produce ribbed plates perforated by small diamondshaped openings, which are produced by the contact of studs S on the ribs of the rollers.

Abstract: 5970. Steffen, C. March 30. Engines combined with turbines and reactionwheels.-Relates to a method and means for obtaining motive power from heat, which heat may be the waste heat from a gas or other heat engine, through the agency of highly-heated liquids under pressure used in rotary motors or turbines. The liquid used may be water, sulphurous acid,ammonia, or other liquid, a solution of gas or vapour in liquid, or an intimate mixture of vapour and liquid, as in an emulsion or froth, and is returned to the heater or space of high pressure by a feed-pump. or the like to be again used. The vapour after expansion in the rotary motor may be allowed to escape. In a double-element arrangement in which the liquids may be water and sulphurous acid, the condenser for the vapour of the first element is used to heat the liquid in the generator of the second element. There may be three such similar elements, the liquids being water, sulphurous acid, and ammonia. Instead of the first rotary motor in these systems an ordinary steam engine, or a Parsons' or De Laval's turbine or the like may be employed, and a gas, hot-air, or other engine or Diesel motor may be used in conjunction with the rotary motors in order to heat the liquid under pressure in the cylinder jacket of the heat engine, which is thereby cooled. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the liquid in the generator is heated by the exhaust gases from the heat motor, and the condensed liquid after working is passed to the jacket of the heat engine. The liquid employed to cool the cylinder of any heat motor may be used to heat the generator a.

Patent GB-190118335-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Treatment of Liquids, for the Precipitation of Solids, for Evaporating, or for Distilling them.
Inventor: NAEF PAUL
Filed: 1901-09-13
Granted: 1902-08-21
Abstract: 18,335. Naef, P. Feb. 13, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Alkaline bicarbonates; liquids, treating with gases; precipitating.-Liquids are treated with gases for the purpose of precipitating solids therefrom (especially for precipitating alkaline bicarbonates during their manufacture by the ammonia-soda process), for evaporating, or for distilling. The essential feature consists in heating or cooling the liquid or the gas, or both, several times during the operation. One or more vertical columns or rotary inclined cylinders may be used. In the example shown, the liquid, which may be ammoniated brine, is passed down a column having partitions 2 with central holes covered with distributing-bells 4. At intervals there are unperforated cross-partitions 5, so that the liquid is compelled to pass out through a tube 6 to a tube system in a vessel 7, which is divided into two parts by a vertical partition 9. Cooling or heating liquid is circulated round the pipes. The lower part of the vessel is conical, and is provided with an agitator 15. The bicarbonate collects in the conical portion, and is withdrawn, while the liquid is carried back through the tube 12 to the column. Meanwhile, the gas for treating the liquid is passed upwards, and, if its temperature also is to be regulated, it is led by a tube 19 past a trap 20 for liquid, through a tubular temperature adjuster 21, and back to the next higher compartment of the column through a tube 18. Valves are provided to allow the gas to pass upwards, or the liquid to pass downwards, without passing through the vessels 21 or 7. In another arrangement, both the gas and the liquid are adjusted in temperatures in the same tube apparatus, which is set horizontally. The liquid and gases pass in reverse directions through the tubes, the heating or cooling medium passing outside the tubes. When alkali is to be precipitated, a dilute gas, such as furnace gas, may be used in the first stage, and stronger gas, such as lime-kiln gas, used to complete the operation. The process may take place entirely in rotating cylinders, or partly in rotating cylinders and partly in columns. Pure bicarbonate may be obtained from an impure bicarbonate. For this purpose, a solution is first made by passing the crude solid bicarbonate down one tower, up which liquor and gas are passed so as to obtain a hot solution. The latter is allowed to stand, and then led to another column, in which it is cooled, while being subjected to a stream of carbonic acid. Two superposed columns or two communicating rotating cylinders may be used for this purpose. Such arrangements are illustrated. Reference is made to Specifications Nos. 13,771 and 23,404, A.D. 1899.

Abstract: 25,183. Ramstedt, C. W. Dec. 10. Liquids, sterilizing.-Relates to apparatus for effecting exchange of heat between liquids or gases, for sterilizing, heating, or cooling purposes. One form of heat exchanger is shown in Fig. 1. The bell-like conical partition 1 is rotated between the stationary vessels or walls 2, 3, and is at such a distance from the inlet wall 2 that liquid or gas entering by the pipe 10 is caused to accompany or take part in the rotation of the partition 1. The steam heating-jacket 13, having inlet 14 and outlet 15, is arranged around the junction of the walls 2, 3. Arms 9 support the vessel 3, and the discharge pipe 12 is arranged tangentially to the cover of the vessel 3. In slightly modified forms of apparatus, the wall 3 is parallel to the walls 1, 2, and the walls or vessels taper downwards. In the multiple apparatus shown in Fig. 5, the partitions 1 are carried by the rotating disc 23 which has compartments to receive the fluid to be treated when delivered from the holder 35 through the adjustable passage 36, and the walls 2 are removably attached to the plates 43 of the heating- chamber by bayonet clutch joints to facilitate cleaning. Skimming-tubes 37 convey the fluid from the outer spaces to a trough in the disc 23, so that the fluid is discharged to the casing 39 and the outlet 40. The apparatus is rotated from the pulley 19.
