Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 974. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Jan. 13. Gases, treating with electric discharge. - A mixture of oxygen and nitrogen containing a large proportion, say 50 per cent of the formergas, and therefore giving a good yield, occupies the reaction zone, while air is led into a surrounding zone to protect the furnace and to cool the products quickly. The reaction mixture may be produced within the furnace by directing air from the outer zone into the inner zone, which is then supplied with pure oxygen or gas containing a high percentage of oxygen. In a tube furnace, the reaction mixture may pass principally in an axial direction into the long steady arc while the air is introduced with a whirling motion. The reaction gas may he preheated, and the air may be comparatively cool.

Abstract: 23,573. Erith's Engineering Co., and Erith, C. Dec. 4. Mechanical stoking air supply, regulating.- In a mechanical underfeed stoker for boiler furnaces, of the kind in which the fuel is fed by reciprocating phungers into trough-like retorts, and in which the air for combustion and for cooling the stoker is delivered under pressure from a chamber beneath the stoker into the fire through tuyeres placed along the sides of the retorts, each stoker unit is actuated by variablespeed ratchet gearing driven by the same motor tJmt drives the blast fan or fans, and the supply of fuel and air may be controlled simultaneously and in accordance with variations of steam pressure in the boiler. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to an underfeed stoker having side cleaning-plates f. The motor a drives a fan b which supplies air through the main conduit b<1> communicating with the furnaces through branch conduits such as b<2>. The crank-shaft h which operates the fuel plungers c is driven by a spurwheel i, Fig. 5, and ratchet mechanism j, the pawl j<1> being carried by a lever k attached to a connecting-rod l driven by a system of chain and sprocket-wheel gearing from the shaft of the fan b. The number of teeth which the pawl j<1> engages at each stroke may be varied by a shroud j<2>. Fig. 3 shows the invention applied to an underfeed stoker of the kind having inclined fuel: troughs and rear cleaning-means, as described in Specification 1067/13. Each furnace is provided with a fan b for delivering the air directly into the chamber beneath the stoker, the fans being driven from the motor a through the shaft n. As an alternative, an electric motor may be coupled to each fan. and each fan may be connected to the driving- gear of the stoker. The supply of fuel and air is controlled simultaneously in the manner suggested in Specification 9287/14. The motor a is provided with a rheostat r, Fig. 8, the lever r<1> of which is connected by a chain r<2> to the piston s<1> of the hydraulic regulator s. Steam from the boiler acts on a diaphragm s<2> and controls the water supply to the piston s<1>, causing it to move either up or down and actuate the lever r<1> of the rheostat. Specification 26,947/06 also is referred to.
