Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 5058. Wyllie, J. March 5. [Patent of Addition to No. 26,565, A.D. 1906.] Water levels, regulating.-In feed apparatus for boilers and the like, of the kind in which the feed valve 9, Fig. 2, is operated by the weight of water in a stand-pipe 1 acting on a piston or diaphragm 11, as described in Specification No. 29,565, A.D. 1906, the upper part of the stand-pipe communicates with the boiler through a pipe 2 terminating in the boiler at the normal water level, and the feed enters through a separate connexion 17 at the bottom of the stand-pipe. Under normal conditions, the feed valve being open, the head of water in the stand-pipe acting beneath the diaphragm and the leverage of a weight 15 balances the head of water in the supply pipe 6. An increase in the head of water in the stand-pipe, due to the boiler water level rising above the bottom of the pipe 2, causes the feed valve to close. Perforated or serrated horizontal or inclined plates or trays 19 may be placed in the stand-pipe in order to divide the water and expose a large surface to the steam entering from the pipe 2. The impurities in the feed-water are deposited in a settling-chamber 23, which may be provided with baffle plates or screens. Any gases liberated from the feed-water escape from the settling-chamber through an expansion trap or valve 24. The lower part of the stand-pipe or, as shown in Fig. 10, the whole of the standpipe may be expanded to form a storage chamber 31, which is provided to meet heavy demands for feed-water such as occur in connexion with an electric generating-plant. The level of the water in the chamber 31 may be automatically regulated by means of an electro-magnetic device 36 electrically actuated by the pressure gauge 40 and adapted to slide the weight 15 along a lever 14 acting on the feed valve. Alternatively, a spring-pressed piston 44, Fig. 11, operated by the boiler steam and carrying a valve 48 may be employed. When the boiler pressure falls, the valve 48 is opened, and the steam acts upon a second piston 51, which is connected to a cock 53 in a connexion 54 between the vessel 31 and a pipe 2<a> connecting the vessel with the top of the stand-pipe. A whistle 55, Fig. 11, may be sounded or an electric lamp 43, Fig. 10, illuminated when the boiler pressure falls below the predetermined limit.
