Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 2111. Wiart, E. Jan. 29, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Vacuum apparatus.-A vacuum is produced in a vessel by the condensation of steam obtained at a minimum temperature of 170‹ C., the vacuum being employed for raisipg liquids. In the automatic apparatus shown, steam enters a vessel A through a pipe B, expelling air through a valve C ; the inrushing steam actuates an impact-wheel H whereby a counterweighted finger k opens the valve of a water-pipe L and water is sprayed through a jet D. The resulting vacuum causes water to rush past a valve E and fill the chamber, the water finally raising a float F to open an airinlet valve G; the water is then discharged through the valve C, actuating in its fall an impact-wheel H<1> controlling the steam-admission valve. The head of water raised may be utilized to drive turbines &c.

Title: Improved Method and Apparatus for Withdrawing the Air from Steam Heating Installations.
Inventor: SCHOLL ALBERT
Filed: 1907-11-01
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 24,209. Scholl, A. Nov. 1. Heating buildings; heating by steam circulation. -Air is withdrawn from steam heating-installations by means of automatic apparatus worked by water under pressure. Fig. 3 shows the apparatus for exhausting the air. Within a casing, an opentopped float carries a valve p controlling the outflow of water through a siphon pipe x, which passes out of the casing and dips into a tank y. In the initial position, the casing, the float, the pipe x, and the tank y are filled with water, and the float is at its lowest position so that the valve p is open. As the water escapes through the pipe x, air is drawn into the apparatus past the valve v and the float, which is still surrounded by the water in the casing, rises. Ultimately the valve p is closed, and the water-inlet valve u is opened by contact with a projection on a cross-bar r carried by the float. Water then flows into the space around the float and drives the air out past the valve w. The water overflows into the float, which in time sinks, restoring the apparatus to its initial position. A valve operated by a rise in temperature may be placed in front of the apparatus to prevent steam from being withdrawn with the air.

Abstract: 22,052. Williams, H. J. Oct. 19. Barometers. - Relates to pressure gauges of the type in which two gauges indicate pressure by means of one pointer, applicable to measure, the absolute pressure, or simultaneously the absolute pressure and vacuum, in steam condensers &c., and also the barometric pressure. Two gauges 1, 2, of the Bourdon or any other type, are arranged so that a pointer 14 indicates the resultant of their motions. One Bourdon tube may be connected to the condenser, while the other is exhausted and hermetically sealed. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the movable ends of the tubes are adjustably connected by links 4, 5 and slots to arms 6, 7 which extend from a rotatable sleeve 9. The sleeve carries a rack 10 operating a pinion 11 on the spindle of the pointer 14. A spring 15 may be arranged to assist the weaker tube. In another arrangement, Fig. 4, the tube 18, connected to the condenser, actuates a bent pointer 20, which moves in an annular space between a fixed ring 26 carrying a scale and a movable disk 21. The disk 21 is mounted on a spindle 22 actuated by the other tube 19, which is exhausted and sealed. The pointer indicates on the ring scale the pressure above or below the atmosphere and on the movable disk the absolute pressure. The barometric pressure is given by the zero mark of the absolute scale against the vacuum scale. Fig. 6 shows another arrangement in which the tubes are connected to arms 29<A>, 30<A>, which actuate bevelwheels 31<A>, 32<A>. These wheels mesh with a third bevel-wheel 35, which is mounted on a shaft 37 carried by the sleeve 39 freely mounted on the spindle 36 so as to move independently of the wheels 31<A>, 32<A>. The shaft 37 carries the pointer 20A and is counterbalanced by a weight 38. According to the Provisional Specification, the apparatus may be arrauged to measure either the difference or the sum of the pressures, or it may be employed to measure quantities other than pressures, where the quantity depends on the difference or sum of two fluid pressures.
