Title: A New and Improved Method of Condensing Ammonia.
Inventor: BLOCK LOUIS
IPC: F25B39/04
Filed: 1912-02-12
Granted: 1913-02-12
Abstract: 3512. Block, L. Feb. 12. Refrigerating, compression machines and processes for; condensers.-In an ammonia condenser for refrigerating - apparatus, the gaseous ammonia enters a trombone coil at the lower end and is condensed at a higher level, the liquefied ammonia being carried upwards by its own momentum. Fig. 1 shows one form of apparatus in which the gas from an horizontal pipe B passes downwards by pipes B<1> to the lower end of each coil. The gas is liquefied before it reaches the outlet pipes D<1>, by which the liquid flows to a header D, so that the liquid serves as a heat-transferring agent between the gas and the cooling- water which descends over the exterior of the coils. A trap for the liquid to be discharged is formed by pipes E*, D' constituting with the header a liquid seal against passage of ammonia gas, and provided wtih a drainage valve D<5>. The coils are connected to a header D<8> by which they may be drained, and to another header E by which the pressure in the coils is equalized. Cooling of the coils is effected by water distributed from tanks above each coil. Alternative arrangements are described for controlling the flow of discharged liquefied ammonia. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, liquid ammonia passes from the uppermost pipes A' of the coils to a header D at the upper level and thence to a liquid receiver T the inlet and outlet pipes of which end at different levels, thereby sealing gaseous ammonia against discharge. An equalizing-header E is provided with these arrangements to prevent siphoning, and connexions are made to an aircollecting drum g; an equalizing-pipe h also connects this header with the liquid - receiver, and is furnished with a branch h<1> to the suction side of the refrigerating - plant, whereby any part of the condenser may be pumped out.

Title: Improvements in Electrically Actuated Pumps, for Elastic or Non-elastic Fluids.
Inventor: RICHARDSON WILLIAM
Filed: 1912-03-11
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 6004. Richardson, W. March 11. Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor.-Comprises a particular form of mechanism for starting and stopping an electric motor driving pumps for elastic or non-elastic fluids on the attainment of predetermined conditions of pressure or volume in the storage reservoir or liquid-discharge mains respectively. The mechanism is of the known type in which the rapid make-and-break of an electric switch is effected by the aid of a spring which is moved through a position of maximum elongation prior to the actual make-and-break. The invention is illustrated in connexion with a motor a driving a pair of compressors h, which deliver through a pipe j to a reservoir (not shown). The reservoir pressure, acting on the spring- pressed diaphragm of an ordinary pressure governor k, raises or lowers the diaphragm-rod m, causing a forked lever o to engage a pin t on a vulcanite disk q, which is thereby rotated. The pivoted contact-arm A of the switch is provided with a pin z working in a slot in the disk q. The spring v, which effects the rapid make-and-break by causing the sides of the slot to strike the pin of the contact-arm, is secured to a crank rotating with the disk and to an adjustable tensioning-hook w. Lost motion is provided between the lever and pin o, and between the slot and pin z, to permit of the desired range between the stopping and starting pressures.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Pumps.
IPC: F02D1/00
Filed: 1912-05-07
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 10,881. British Thomson Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 7. Lever-actuated pumps; stroke, varying; regulating delivery by by-passes or return circuits. -- In a pump of the suction-valveless type more particularly for supplying fuel to internal-combustion engines, the delivery is regulated by a fluid-pressure device controlled by a centrifugal governor and adapted to vary the region of reciprocation of the pump plungers. In the arrangement shown, four pumps supplying fuel to a multi-cylinder gasengine are driven from a common cross-bar 24 reciprocated by a lever 22 from an eccentric 20. Each pump is of the suction-valveless type as shown in Fig. 4, and by varying the position of the fulcrum 23 of the lever 22, the pistons 33 can be made to reciprocate between the regions indicated respectively at 36, 37 and at 38, 39 according to whether a smaller or greater volume of fuel has to be delivered. The variation in the position of the fulcrum 23 is effected automatically by a fluid-pressure device consisting of a piston 26 carrying the fulcrum 23 and working in a cylinder 27 to which oil is admitted at every stroke of the fuel - pumps through a pipe 54 from an auxiliary pump 50, Fig. 2, which is of the ordinary type provided with suction valves and is operated by the same cross-bar as the fuel-pumps. The return pipe 54<a>, which leads oil from the cylinder 27 back to the suction tank 28, is of small bore so that a pressure is set up in the cylinder 27 by the pump 50, and, in accordance with the volume of oil delivered by the pump 50, so the position of the piston 26 will vary. The delivery of the pump 50 is controlled by a centrifugal governor 16 on the engine, which may either be connected to a by-pass valve or to a throttle valve on the pump delivery. The by-pass valve may be operated by hand for temporarily increasing the supply of fuel, and the fulcrum-adjusting device may be made responsive to other conditions than the load on the engine.
