Abstract: 26,037. Mortley, G. E. Nov. 13. Moving-chamber apparatus, varying quantity measured in.-A petrol-gas plant comprises an air pump preferably operated by an hydraulic motor, a gas - holder, and a feeding - device delivering petrol to the carburettor simultaneously with, and in constant proportion to, the air supplied, this device consisting of a non- tipping bucket with adjustable lift and a displacer over which the bucket is lifted to empty more or less the bucket into the carburettor, the quantity fed being dependent on the lift. Both petrol and gas are shut off from the atmosphere by water seals. As shown, petrol from a reservoir a is supplied on the bird fountain principle to a chamber c communicating by a petrol pipe f and air pipe f<1> with a feed chamber d, from which petrol is lifted by a bucket g, is displaced when the bucket rises around a member 12, and is thus delivered to the carburetting chamber e. The bucket is lifted by a rod 11, water-sealed by a tube 13 and hood 20, the hood having a collar 21 engaging an adjustable eccentric stop 22 to limit the lift of the bucket and therefore the quantity of petrol displaced by the member 12. The rod 11 is lifted by a collar 16 engaging under a spring 17 to prevent spilling when the apparatus is working rapidly, and to allow the lift to be varied. When the gas - holder bell k is low, pressure-water lifts the bell 4 of an air pump, the bell falling by gravity. The collar 16, lifting the bucket g, is carried by the bell 4 so that petrol and air are supplied to the carburetting chamber e simultaneously.

Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 16,910. Glasgow, A. G. July 23. Producers. - T h e formation of clinkers in the fuel bed of a gasgenerator is prevented by so applying the gasmaking fluids, such as air or steam, as to produce a high temperature zone between a zone of relatively low temperature and the end of the fuel bed to which the fresh fuel is fed. Unconsnmed carbon (from the fresh fuel) passes through the hotter zone and prevents the melted ash in it from forming into clinker. The unclinkered ash passes, with the carbon, into the cooler zone, where the combustion of the unburned fuel is completed at a temperature insufficient to clinker the ash. In the gas-producer shown, the zones 4, 5 above and below the opening of the blast pipe 9 are the high temperature and low temperature zones respectively. A portion of the blast, for instance about 25 per cent, is supplied beneath the grate by a pipe 8, the remainder being supplied by the pipe 9, and the maximum temperatures of the zones 4, 5 are thus maintained at, for instance, 3000‹ F. and 2000‹ F. respectively. The unconsumed carbon, from the fresh fuel at the top of the bed, in the zone 4 prevents the formation of clinker in it, while the temperature of the zone 5 is insufficient to melt the ash into clinker. In other forms, a fuelsupporting arch or a second grate, which may be water-cooled, is provided between the zones, and the upper blast is introduced at the sides of the producer, beneath the arch or grate.
