Patent GB-190912251-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Appliance for Feeding Boilers.
Inventor: PONNINGHAUS WILHELM BARTHOLDT
IPC: F22D5/08
Filed: 1909-05-24
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 12,251. Ponninghaus, W. B. D., and McMurdie, H. May 24. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.-In an automatic pressure and vacuum apparatus for feeding steamgenerators, the valve for admitting and exhausting the steam is actuated by a float in the feeding-vessel connected to a tappet-plate, which, in turn actuates a falling weight and a cross-head attached to the valve. A rod 22, connected to the float 18, lifts the lefthand side of the tappet-plate 28, causing the hammer 34 to fall over to the right after it has been lifted by the pin 30 striking the arm 33. As the hammer descends, the arm 33 strikes the pin 43 in the cross-head 42 of the plug 35 and rotates this until stopped by the pin 25. Steam then enters through the by-pass 24 into the port 37 in the plug and escapes through the hole 39 in the casing. The water in the casing 14 is then forced into the boiler, causing the float to sink. The consequent movement of the tappet - plate and hammer cuts off the steam supply and puts the interior of the casing in communication with the condenser 9, which has an escape valve 10 and is situated in the feed-tank 7. The vacuum thus formed sucks up water through the pipe 11 into the casing and raises the float, after which the cycle of operations is repeated. The feedtank may be situated above the vessel 7, in which case a separate condenser is dispensed with, and a single pipe acts both as the steamexhaust and water-suction pipe.
