Patent GB-190914024-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Centrifugal Separators.
Inventor: MICHAELIS KARL
Filed: 1909-06-15
Granted: 1910-07-15
Abstract: 14,024. Michaelis, C. June 15. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Separators for gaseous substances. - In a centrifugal separator for removing solid and liquid particles from air and gases, the separation is effected by the use of a series of parallel pairs of conical disks forming guide-blades, the faces of which are inclined to the axis of rotation. Fig. 1 shows a series of parallel pairs of conical disks or guide-blades b, c mounted so as to rotate within a depositing-chamber e. The gaseous medium to be purified enters axially, passes outwards between a pair of disks, then inwards along an adjacent passage, whence it is discharged axially. During the outward passage, the heavier solid and liquid particles are forced against the outer disks b, and are discharged either through holes or slots in the inclined walls or through annular peripheral outlets d. The lightest gaseous particles remain in contact with the inner disks c and pass through holes or slots in the disks directly to the inward-flow passage. The remainder of the medium takes the normal course indicated by the arrows. Gaseous particles which escape into the depositing - chamber are returned to the inlet through a pipe i.The disks may be provided with sieve-like walls, and with ribs arranged radially or spirally so as to facilitate the separating action. In order to regulate the speed of the gaseous medium, the separator may be arranged between an inlet pipe fitted with a throttle valve, and a suction fan, which may be rigidly connected to the outlet side of the separator. Modifications are described in which (1) the pairs of disks are arranged in series so that the gaseous medium undergoes several inward and outward passages ; (2) the pairs of disks are made of different sizes, and the depositing-chamber. is provided with partitions, so as to divide the separated particles into grades according to size and specific gravity; and (3) the depositing-chamber is provided with baffles, which in known manner prevent whirling and thus expedite the deposit and removal of the separated particles.

Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 17,446. Guather, J. July 31. Single-acting multiple-delivery pumps. - The injection valve of a Diesel engine is operated by hydraulic transmission, the fuel being used as the transmitting - medium. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, a plunger h operated by a cam controlled by a governor pumps fuel from a chamber G to a chamber d. This fuel, by acting on a plunger E, opens a valve B, which admits the fuel and compressed air from passages k, c to the cylinder A. The apparatus shown in Fig. 2 gives a constant opening to the valve B, the supply of fuel being independently controlled. The plunger h has a constant stroke. Fuel is supplied through a check valve a and the pipe k to the valve B, and through a check valve b and the pipe f to operate the plunger E. The cut-off is effected by the governor which opens the valve i, whereupon the valves a, b close, while the valve B remains open until the valve b is opened by a projection d on the plunger h. In a modification, the valves a, b are positively operated, the valve a being under the control of the governor. In another modification, the suction valve i is held open at the beginning of the compression stroke by a governor-controlled cam. When the valve i closes, the valve a opens first, the spring of the valve a being weaker than that of the valve b. The valve a is closed by a cam, whereupon the valve b opens. The valve B remains open until the valve i is opened by a cam, the valve b being at the same time held open by the projection d on the plunger h.
