Title: Improvements in Automatic Acetylene Gas Producer.
Inventor: PORTE PIERRE
Filed: 1906-07-07
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 15,419. Forte, P. July 7. Acetylene.-In a generator, water poured into a reservoir 7, flows into a gasometer 6 through vertical tubes 8, and then through a pipe 9 into a washing-chamber 5. The water for the decomposition of the carbide is fed through a pipe 17 and flows through a cock 41, down a column 27 open at the top to the air, through a pipe 26, and up a perforated tube 34 into whichever generator is in action. The carbide is contained on horizontal or inclined perforated shelves 33 in a cylinder 22 inside a casing 28, which is provided with a water-filling funnel 30. Between the casing and the cylinder, a flange 32 of the cover 31 forms an hydraulic seal. Gas generated passes by a tube 35 to the washing-chamber 5, thence by a tube 9 to the gasometer 6, and by a tube 10 to the service pipe. When the pressure rises sufficiently, the gas passing from the tube 10 depresses the water round a float 14, and a hemispherical or conical part 15 of the float drops into a similarly-shaped cavity 16 in the water channel, and cuts off the supply. When the carbide in one generator is exhausted, the water rises to the top and flows by pipe 39 to the other generator ; the cock 41 can then be turned to send water direct to that generator while the first is being cleaned and recharged. On starting, mixed gas and air escape from the lower end of pipe 37 until it is submerged.
