Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of aromatic and/or unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons
IPC: C10G25/03
Filed: 1960-08-29
Abstract: Aromatic and/or unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons are obtained from mixtures containing saturated cyclic and/or acyclic hydrocarbons by passing the mixture through a plurality of molecular sieves of differing pore sizes arranged in decreasing order of pore size whereby higher molecular weight hydrocarbons are adsorbed in the earlier stage(s) and lower molecular weight hydrocarbons in the later stage(s), desorbing the saturated hydrocarbons, subjecting them to a cracking or reforming process to form unsaturated or aromatic hydrocarbons and using a noncondensable component of the product to desorb the lower molecular weight hydrocarbons in a subsequent adsorption step and using desorbed lower molecular weight hydrocarbons to desorb higher molecular weight hydrocarbons adsorbed in an earlier sieve stage.  In a preferred embodiment the higher molecular weight hydrocarbons are subjected to mild cracking or reforming and lower molecular weight hydrocarbons are subjected to pyrolysis.  The later molecular sieve stages are preferably of greater capacity than earlier stages.  Inert gases, e.g. paraffin-free waste gases from cracking or hydrogenation processes may also be used to assist in desorption of the lightest fractions. In an example a p  light gasoline is passed through two sieves of 5 and 4  pore size to separate firstly C7 and C8 n-paraffins which are subjected to platforming to yield aromatic hydrocarbons and secondly C5 and C6 n-paraffins which are pyrolysed at above 700 DEG C. with steam to yield olefins.  Residual gases from the platforming and pyrolysis are used to desorb the 4  sieve and light hydrocarbon desorbate is used to desorb the 5  sieve. Preferably two sets of sieves are used in parallel each alternately on adsorption and desorption.

Abstract: 618,002. Refrigerating. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. Oct. 8, 1946, Nos. 30004 and 30005. Convention dates, Oct. 8, 1945 and Oct. 25, 1945. [Class 29] In a refrigerator, divided into an upper part 33 cooled by an evaporator coil 22 and a lower storage part 35 by a partition 32 means are provided responsive to the outside temperature for varying the flow of heat from the lower to the upper chamber. In one form cold air from the upper part is admitted to the lower part through a passage 38 with a valve 44 operated by control member 46 in accordance with either the temperature of the condenser 26 or the temperature of the air surrounding the refrigerator so as to maintain the temperature in the part 35 constant. In another embodiment heat is transferred from the part 35 to the part 33 by a closed condensing and evaporating system 39, Figs. 4 and 6, which comprises a condensing element 45 in contact with the evaporator coil 22, an evaporating element 41 in the part 35 and a refrigerant reservoir 52 to which is connected a vapour lift pump 57 for the refrigerant. The pump 57 is heated either directly by the air surrounding the refrigerator or by the capillary tube 58 supplying liquid refrigerant to the evaporator 22. As shown in Fig. 6 secondary refrigerant condensed at 45 flows into the pipe 55 in the chamber 52 and then into the chamber 52 through an orifice 60. The pump 57 heated by the tube 58 is a continuation of the pipe 55 and pumps liquid refrigerant up the pipe 55 and through a pipe 64 whence the refrigerant runs to the evaporator 41 through a pipe 62. Refrigerant vapour returns to the condensing part 45 by way of pipe 65, the chamber 52 and a pipe 50. The amount of refrigerant circulated through the evaporator 41 thus depends on the heat supplied to the pump 57. In a modification of the second embodiment of the invention, Fig. 9 (not shown), refrigerant vapour is returned direct from the evaporator 41 to the condensing part, which is formed as a closed tube in contact with the evaporator 22 and of a diameter sufficient to pass refrigerant vapour and liquid in counterflow by the pipe by which the condensed refrigerant leaves the condensing part. The refrigerant pumped up the pipe 55 is decanted directly into the pipe leading to the evaporator 41. In a further modification, Fig. 10 (not shown), part of the evaporator 22 cools the chamber 52 which acts as the condensing part of the secondary refrigerant circuit.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the homogenisation of molten glass
IPC: C03B5/187
Filed: 1963-07-29
Abstract: <PICT:1019980/C1/1> <PICT:1019980/C1/2> In a method of glass manufacture in which a forward flow of molten glass takes place over a return flow of cooled molten glass one of the said flows is agitated to homogenize it whilst the two glass flows are segregated in the region of agitation to minimize interchange of molten glass between the two layers.  In providing a flow of molten glass from a furnace into a drawing kiln the forward flow of glass 6 is homogenized by a stirrer 10.  A streamlined vane 11 placed at the neutral plane below the stirrer 10 segregates the forward flow from the return flow 7. Alternatively the stirring action may be localized by providing the vane 11 with a vertical wall 15 at its downstream edge and placing a barrier wall 17 across the glass upstream of the stirrers, the bottom of said wall 17 being vertically spaced above the vane 11 to provide an inlet for the forward flow of glass. Preferably the glass flows along a channel provided with a bank of stirrers across its width, the vane 11 being mounted between the side walls of the channel in the neutral plane beneath the stirrers.  The vane 11 and wall 17 are constructed in the manner disclosed in Specification 1,019,979.  The agitation may be caused by bubbles in the top surface of the vane, or a heated grid placed in the forward flow above the vane.
