Patent GB-190727388-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling Pumps.
Filed: 1907-12-11
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 27,388. Jennings, Ltd., G., and Morley, J. Dec. 11. Governing or controlling pumps. -Pumps delivering into reservoirs are controlled by the variation of pressure in the reservoir, starting when the pressure falls below a certain point and stopping when the desired pressure has been attained. The controlling - mechanism consists of a cylinder connected by a pipe to the reservoir, and containing a piston the rod of which operates the switches of an electric motor driving the pump. The cylinder a, Fig. 1, is connected to the reservoir by a pipe b, which enters the cylinder and may be closed by a valve carried or constituted by the piston c. The piston-rod c<1> passes out through a sleeve a' and carries a sleeve c<2>, which slides on the sleeve a<1> and is furnished with a cup-leather c<3> working in an oil bath a<3>. Levers g carrying weights g<1> are pivoted to the piston-rod c' and supported by links g<2>. These levers g are arranged to be horizontal when the piston c closes the pipe b, in order that when the piston c begins to fall the leverage of the weights diminishes, causing a rapid movement of the piston c. When an alternating- current motor is used having two switches, one of which is first closed and then opened again after the second one is closed, the switches k, l are operated by a lever e connected to the piston-rod c<1> by a link d. The lever e has arms e<2> which are pivoted at f<1> to the switchboard f, Fig. 3, and also two arms e<3> between which is pivoted an arm h carrying a roller h<2> for actuating a lever pivoted at j<1> to the switch k. The spring button k<1> of the switch k is forced in to close the circuit by the spring plunger j<2> carried by the lever j. The switch l, Fig. 5, is operated by a slotted arm e<4> on the bar e engaging a pin on the lever of the switch. When the pressure in the reservoir falls, the balls g<1> descend, thereby raising the piston-rod c<1> and arm e ; the roller h<2> then acts upon the lever j, causing the plunger j<2> to close the switch k. The lever e<4>, Fig. 5, is in such a position that the pin in the lever l<1> is at the end of the slot in the lever e<4>. Further rise of the arm e closes the switch l, and at the same time the roller h<2> escapes from the lever j and allows the switch k to open, the motor being thus started. The joint h<1> of the lever h allows the roller h<2> to pass over the end of the lever without operating the switch k as the motor is stopped.

Filed: 1910-03-31
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 7786. Doherty, H. L. March 31, 1909, [Convention date]. Regenerators.-In a producer-gas plant, Mond gas from a producer 6 is passed through a recuperator 22, which also heats air, before entering an enriching-producer 39. The gas enters the recuperator 22 by a pipe 21 and is heated in the flues 25 by the hot gases coming from the producer 39 through the pipe 59. The flues 25 are connected together to form continuous return-bend flues, and the hot gases pass over them in a similar but opposite course to that of the air passing through them. The gas is further heated in the tubes 33, which are raised to a high temperature by burning a portion of the Mond gas in the burner 45. The hot gases enter the producer 39 by a pipe 38. Air may be heated in a separate compartment of the recuperator, similar to that through which the gas passes, and supplied to the producer 39 through the pipe 42. The air supplied to the producer 6 is heated in a recuperator 4, of similar construction to the recuperator 22, by the gas on its way from that producer.
