IPC: C07C67/08
Abstract: 131,678. Grolea, J., and Weyler, J. L. Feb. 23, 1918, [Convention date]. Esters are prepared from aliphatic acids and alcohols, the more volatile of which pair of reagents boils sufficiently above 100‹ C. to admit of separation of water therefrom by fractional distillation, by heating the two reagents without a dehydrating agent or catalyst in a distilling vessel provided with a fractionating column, the water produced in the reaction being thus continuously removed while the more volatile component, which is used in excess, is returned to the reaction vessel; practically theoretical esterification of the less volatile component is thus obtained. Examples are given of the preparation of triacetin and dibutyl tartrate; diisoamyl tartrate, dibutyl citrate, diisobutyl citrate, and diisoamyl citrate are prepared similarly.

Filed: 1968-03-20
Abstract: 1,185,255. Continuous casting machines. CONCAST A.G. 20 March, 1968 [22 March, 1967], No. 13600/68. Heading B3F. In a continuous casting plant, to lessen the risk of irruption of melt through the thin solid skin 19 of a casting 11 emerging from a squaresectioned oscillatable mould 2, a casting carrier 7 provided with supporting elements 8 is placed between the mould and the following casting guideway 12. The carrier 7 is freely and omnidirectionally movable in a horizontal plane on recirculating balls 9 on a ring 10 and is thereby able to adapt to thermal distortions of the mould outlet. The supporting elements 8 may be rolls engaging the sides or corners of the casting, cooling plates or a combination of rolls and cooling plates. - In Fig. 7 an oscillatable curved mould 62, having casting surfaces 86, 87, is provided with a casting carrier 66 that oscillates with the mould. However, the lateral position of the carrier with respect to the mould is controlled by a piston 68 in a cylinder 69. The casting surfaces 86, 87 are each provided with a separate cooling chamber 89, 91. The heat abstracted by each cooling chamber is sensed and the piston and cylinder automatically shifts the casting 94 laterally thereby varying the location of the points 74, 75 (where the casting skin leaves the cooling surfaces 86, 87) in dependence on the heat abstracted from the casting by each cooling chamber. In Fig. 8, the carrier 193 does not oscillate with the mould 198 but is rotationally controlled by a piston and cylinder 201, (202), 207, (208). The carrier is mounted on balls 195 in a race 196 and is freely movable transversely to the casting axis in a direction defined by a line of balls 197 (on which the race 196 is mounted) in a plate 199. The mould 198 is provided with a cooling jacket 198 with several separate cooling chambers (211 to 218). The heat abstracted from the casting by these chambers is measured and the rotation of the carrier is automatically varied by the piston and cylinder in dependence on the heat flow to each cooling chamber.

[Class 75 (i)] [Also in Group XII] In a combustion apparatus having a combustion chamber and at least one burner adapted to introduce into the chamber a spiraling stream of fuel and air, and wherein the burner is so disposed that the spiraling stream of fuel and air has a relatively small component of radial travel from the burner to the boundaries of the fuel and air stream, and wherein the burner comprises a wall structure defining an annular series of nozzle passages, means are provided for supplying fuel to certain of the nozzle passages, and air to others, and for the imparting of a swirling motion to the fuel and air issuing from the nozzle passages. The apparatus shown in Figs. 4 and 5 has four burners disposed in one end wall 12 of a rectangular combustion chamber 16. The burners comprise outer and inner cylindrical casings 17 and 18 joined by a number of partitions 24, formed at their exit ends .with inclined vanes 32, Fig. 3, to impose a whirl on the air and airborne fuel issuing from the passage formed between the casings 17 and 18. Primary air- and pulverized fuel supplied through conduit 19 enters fuel nozzle passages 27, Fig. 5, through openings 28 formed in casing 18. Secondary air is supplied through conduit 23 to air nozzle passages 26. The burner arrangement is such that the boundaries of the swirl streams of adjacent burners flow in the same direction so that each burner flow stream forms a boundary layer to its adjacent burner flow stream, the swirl effect continues with gradually diminishing intensity throughout the furnace length. The boundary swirl creates an axial counterflow R of hot gases from the rear end of the chamber to the inlet end, to heat the incoming fuel and air.
