Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Raising Water and other Liquids by Means of Compressed Air, Steam or other Fluid.
Filed: 1913-11-26
Granted: 1914-06-18
Abstract: 27,238. Barker, W. H., and Drysdale & Co. Nov. 26. [Addition to 18,854/12.] Direct air, steam, and gas pressure apparatus, automatic.-In apparatus for raising liquids as described in the parent Specification, a relief valve, such as 19, is provided in a port or passage between the exhaust and the liquid-forcing chamber to enable the pressure fluid to escape quickly as soon as the exhaust valve is opened. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, which is adapted to the case in which the forcing-chamber is above the level of the supply liquid, as soon as the chamber becomes empty of liquid, the rod 6 and valve 5 descend, admitting compressed air or steam from the pipe 4 through the pipe 9 to the space 7, thus forcing the exhaust valve 22 downwards from its seat. The valve 19 immediately opens, allowing compressed gas to escape from the chamber through the passages 16, 17 to the exhaust 11. As soon as the pressure becomes equalized, the valve 19 shuts by gravity. The air or gas in the chamber is then exhausted by an ejector 23 in the manner describe in the parent Specification, until the rise of liquid in the chamber brings about a reversal of the position of the valve 5, whereby the pressure in the cylinder 7 is relieved, the exhaust valve 22 shuts, and the pressure fluid issuing from the nozzle 23 then descends into the forcing-chamber, expelling liquid therefrom. Fig. 4 shows the application of the invention to gravityfeed apparatus. In this case, the ejector is dispensed with, and a valve 27 is fitted in the passage 24 to shut off the admission of compressed gas to the chamber while the exhaust valve 22 is open.

Dynamos, regulating; exciting. - A self-regulating variable-speed dynamo supplying current to a battery o, Fig. 1, and to. a lighting or other circuit p is provided, in addition to the main fieldmagnet poles b, with auxiliary poles c, the windings l of which are connected across a resistance m in circuit with the lamps or other load p; the auxiliary poles c modify or correct the distortion of the main field due to armature reaction and adjust automatically the output of the dynamo in accordance with the demand of the lamps p. The resistance m may be of iron or other metal having a temperature coefficient. The windings h on the main poles b are connected preferably between a main brush d and an auxiliary brush g. Resistances j, k, which may be varied either by hand or by electro-magnetic means, and which may be wound on the poles b, are provided for giving the dynamo any desired characteristic; for example, by increasing the resistance j and reducing the resistance k, the dynamo may be converted into an ordinary shunt machine. A main lighting-switch q and an electro-magnetic main-circuit switch s are also provided. The switch s has a winding t connected across the dynamo terminals and a winding u in circuit with the battery o. The switch s, in the open position, serves either to short-circuit or to connect a low resistance w at contacts x in shunt with the resistance m. In order to charge the battery when the lamps are disconnected by the switch q, this switch may have extra contacts whereby the windings l are then connected either across the mains e, f in series with a resistance 1, Fig. 2, or across a resistance situated in the battery - charging circuit. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the resistance k is connected between the field-magnet winding h and the positive terminal of the resistance m, the latter resistance being joined between the lamps p and the negative main f. Specifications 4073 / 12 and 7590/14, [Class 38 (iv), Electric supply and transmission systems &c.], are referred to.
