Abstract: 910,113. Forced-flow steam generators. SIEMENS - SCHUCKERTWERKE A.G. May 29, 1959 [May 30, 1958], No. 18384/59. Class 123 (2). In a forced-flow, once-through steam generator which can be operated at low load with stability of through-flow and without steam dissociation corrosion in the region where evaporation commences and wherein, during normal operation, the working medium is preheated and evaporated to between 80 and 100% dryness in parallel tubes having no interposed headers, the tubes are disposed horizontally, or inclined to the vertical, up to the region where the dryness is normally between 30 and 50%, there being no downcoming tube sections upstream of this region. As shown in Fig. 1, a cyclone combustion chamber 1 has a cylindrical outer wall, a frustoconical roof 2 incorporating uniformly distributed coal dust or gas burners, not shown, and frusto-conical lower parts 3, 4. A cylindrical insert 5, extending into the chamber 1, has a flared neck 6 which instead of round may be of square or rectangular section. A parallel tube system, entering from below, spirals upwardly within the chamber 1 to the top of the roof 2 from which it rises vertically to return bends located at the upper rim of the neck 6 and is then led vertically downward through tube sections 15 to the lower end of and to support the insert 5. The tubes then spiral upwardly along the inner face of the insert 5 to leave the apparatus at 21. In an alternative arrangement the tubes, after leaving the roof 2, do not extend vertically to the rim of the funnel 6 but, instead, are taken immediately to the base of the insert 5. In a modification the insert 5 is a continuous cylinder and each tube, after being taken vertically to the top of the insert, is led downwards and upwards twice the full length of the insert. In a further modification, in which the insert has a flared neck, after the tubes have been taken upward and downward twice in the cylindrical portion they are wound helically upwards in the neck. In the steam generator shown in Figs. 5, 6, which has frontally arranged burners 24 with dry ash removal, two bands of return bent horizontally arranged tubes ascend all of the walls of a lower combustion chamber funnel 29 and are then directed, in the same manner, over the rear and side walls of the combustion chamber. Evaporation at this stage of the tube system is normally effected up to about 30% of steam content. The bands of tubes then zig-zag vertically on the front wall of the chamber and finally extend horizontally about the side walls to the rear walls, the working medium being discharged at points 27, 28.

Title: Method and apparatus for testing cigarettes and other rod-like articles
IPC: A24C5/34
Filed: 1969-04-11
Abstract: 1,272,623 Testing cigarettes. MOLINS MACHINE CO. Ltd. 11 April, 1969 [13 April, 1968], No. 18664/69. Heading A2C. In an apparatus for testing the wrapping of filter-tipped cigarettes, suction is applied to the filter end of each cigarette and the presence of a fault in the wrapping is detected by means of a pressure-sensitive detector connected to the tobacco end of the cigarette. The tobacco ends of the cigarettes are simultaneously checked for soft ends. Filter cigarettes 1 are transferred to a rotating testing drum 11 on which they are held in grooves 5' by suction in known manner. The filter end of each cigarette 1 is then sealed and connected to a suction supply by an elastic sealing ring (16) and its tobacco end is sealed by a part 20. The part 20 comprises a pin 23 movably housed within a tubular member 21 which is, in turn, movably housed within a socket 19. As each cigarette 1 is deposited in a groove 5', the suction applied to the ring (16) draws its filter end into contact with said ring (16). Also suction, previously applied to the socket 19 behind the part 20 to retract the member 21 and the pin 23 against the force of springs 29, 24, is released allowing the cylindrically recessed end 22 of the member 21 to surround and seal the tobacco end of the cigarette 1 and the pin 23 to impinge on the exposed end of the tobacco filler. The end 22 communicates, via a slot 22A, an annular passage 22B and a transverse bore 25C, with a partial axial bore 25 in the pin 23, which bore 22 ultimately communicates with a pressure sensitive device of a control means 31. Where a cigarette 1 has a soft end, the pin 23 in penetrating said end moves sufficiently (to the left in Fig. 3) to vent the bore 25 via passages 25A, 25B. A drop in the suction force detected by the means 31, caused either by a leaky wrapper or by venting of the bore 25 when the pin 23 enters a soft end, is used to detect the faulty cigarette concerned.

Abstract: 917,238. Measuring radioactivity of aerosols. TESLA, NARODNI PODNIK. May 24, 1961 [June 1, 1960], No. 18723/61. Class 98 (1). In a method for measuring the concentration of a radioactive aerosol, the particles of the aerosol are concentrated in a filter 1 on to a deposition support 3 which then gradually moves along to a radiation detector 2; in addition to this unidirectional movement (T) the support also has a reciprocating movement (S). This reduces the dead time, i.e. the time which would elapse between a sudden change of concentration in the aerosol and its registration on the detector, without increasing the speed of the support. As shown, the deposition support is in the form of a strip 3, winding off a spool 4, passing the filter and detector, and then winding on to a spool 5. Suitable mechanisms are provided for giving the required movements to the strip 3. The reciprocating movement need not be continuous but intermittent. The speed of movement T may be very small compared with the speed of the reciprocating movement S.
