Solidifying.-Carbon dioxide snow is formed in an open-ended shell or chamber i, Figs. 1, 3, held between end members c; the charged shell is removed from between the ends and the snow is compressed to ice in the shell. Liquefied gas is supplied by a pipe d on one of the heads fitted with a measuring chamber h<1> and an inlet valve h, and leading, when the shell is in position between the ends, to a pipe p on the shell with inlets o. A perforated plate c' and gauze on the end afford entry of the liquid to the shell, and a pipe f leads surplus gas to a return main. Eye-bolts j<1> on the shell allow it to be lifted by tackle k. The ends are mounted to slide on guide rods b, and are pressed into engagement with the shell by cams actuated by levers n. The shell may comprise an outer case and an inner mould, the space between the two being open to the mould to allow an insulating layer of snow to be formed. The shell when full is carried to a ram where one end is supported by a rigid wall while a loose plate is forced into the other end, compressing the snow to an iceblock of the required size. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the chamber i is held vertical during charging, and after charging and release of the lower end l is slid on to a counterweighted table t and the snow is compressed by a footactuated counterweighted ram r. Further depression of the ram ejects the ice-block which is lowered on the table to the level of a travelling belt on to which it is slid sidewise. The shell may contain a mould fitted with a corrugated paper carton in which the block is formed ready for transport.

Title: An accelerator for the triple valves of air brake equipment, more particularly for railway vehicles
IPC: B60T15/54
Filed: 1954-09-13
Abstract: 751,335. Fluid-pressure brakes. KNORRBREMSE GES. Sept. 13, 1954 [Sept. 11, 1953], No. 26446/54. Class 103 (1). An accelerator for. a fluid pressure railway triple valve has an actuating piston 51 subjected on one side in chamber 53 to pressure in the main air supply line 11 and on the other side in chamber 43 to a constant control pressure also effective in the triple valve 1, such that upon brake release the accelerator becomes partially ready to operate, even though these may be some difference between the pressure in the main air line and the constant control pressure. This characteristic is effected by the drop in pressure in chamber 69 being communicated through non-return valve 85 and passage 75 to chamber 77 above the piston 79 which governs, in addition to brake pipe pressure in chamber 53, the opening or closing of valve 63. When the pressure in chamber 69 is increasing, this pressure is communicated to chamber 77 through restriction 87 at such a slow rate as not to affect the closure of valve 63.

Filed: 1922-10-03
Abstract: 190,118. Koppers Co., (Assignees of Hall, R. E., and Sperr, F. W.). Dec. 8, 1921, [Convention date]. Sulphuretted hydrogen.-Gases containing sulphuretted hydrogen are scrubbed with an aqueous suspension of an alkaline earth compound in order to remove the sulphuretted hydrogen and the latter is recovered in concentrated form and the absorbent liquor regenerated by heating or aerating the saturated liquor. The process is particularly suitable for the treatment of gases containing little carbon dioxide, for example the gases obtained by the cracking of petroleum. Gases such as coke oven gases may be treated provided their content of carbon dioxide has been reduced. In a modification a suspension of magnesium oxide, hydrate, carbonate, or basic carbonate in an alkali solution may be used for the absorption of sulphuretted hydrogen. In the apparatus shown in the Figure,' the gas containing sulphuretted hydrogen is introduced by the pipe F into the scrubber A and meets the descending liquor drawn from the tank H. The liquor is agitated within the scrubber by the rotary balls B and within the tank K by the steam or air blown through the pipe L. The fouled liquor is pumped to the evaporator P<1> or P<2> after passing through the preheater N in which it is warmed by the steam and hot gases passing into the coil R from the evaporator. The steam condensed in the coil R is returned to the evaporator through the tanks S, K and the preheater N. Sulphuretted hydrogen escapes through the pipe U and may be used for example in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. When free from sulphuretted hydrogen the liquor in the evaporator P<1> is run into the cooling tank W and is finally returned to the tank H. Evolution of the sulphuretted hydrogen may be facilitated by reducing the pressure in the evaporator or by injecting steam or other gas. Specifications 169,996 and 170,572, [both in Class 55 (ii), Gas manufacture &c.], are referred to.
