Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Raising & Forcing Water & other Liquids.
Inventor: PENDRED LOUGHNAN ST LAWRENCE
IPC: F22D11/02
Filed: 1913-02-19
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 4247. Pendred, L. St. L. Feb. 19. Direct steam-pressure apparatus, automatic.- Water or other liquids are raised by means of an inclined tube almost closed at its upper end and heated externally at one part in which a small portion of a body ot water, supplied through an admission valve from an elevated source, is converted into steam which drives out some of the remainder of the liquid through a delivery valve. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, water entering the tube E from the elevated tank A is vaporized on coming into contact with the heated upper end of the tube, and the rush of steam thus generated expels a portion of the water through the delivery valve C. Some of the steam escapes through the hole G at the top of the tube, and as soon as the remainder has condensed by contact with the cold lower walls of the tube, fresh liquid enters the tube and the operation is repeated. In a modified form, the escape of high-pressure steam at G is prevented by means of a valve which shuts when the steam is generated within the tube E, and opens by its own weight when the pressure has fallen somewhat within the tube, or it may be opened by a diaphragm or piston device controlled by the pressure fluctuations in the water on either side of the valve B. The timing of the valve-operating lever may be controlled by a throttle device. In a further modification, two tubes such as E work in combination, the valves at G being controlled by a rocking lever so that when one is open the other is shut.
