Patent GB-190911043-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Steam Engine Condensing and Vacuum Producing Apparatus.
Inventor: MORISON DONALD BARNS
IPC: F28B9/10
Filed: 1909-05-10
Granted: 1910-08-10
Abstract: 11,043. Morison, D. B. May 10. [Cognate Application, 27,153/09.] Feed-water, heating.-Relates to a condenser system, such as that described in Specification 16,358/08, [Class 122,.Steam engines], in which the c o n d e n s e r is evacuated by a water-jet ejector (alone or in combination with a steam jet) which discharges into a circulating - t a n k into which water of condensation is also discharged, and in which means are provided for the adequate supply of water to the ejector from the circulating-tank under varying conditions of load in the condenser. Owing to its repeated passage through the system, the water becomes heated and is used as feedwater. In the case of a jet condenser, any water suitable for use as feed-water may be admitted to the circulating-tank. The ejector comprises a number of nozzles each separately controlled by hand, and may comprise a water-spraying device and one or more solid or annular water-jet devices in series or in parallel with each other, the steam jet, when used, being arranged so as to discharge to the water ejectors. The steam used may be exhaust steam from any source. An example of the general arrangemsnt of the plant, Fig. 1, comprises a condenser A, an ejector C consisting of a steam jet s together with water spray and jet devices supplied with water by the pipes l, m, and a circulating-tank B divided into compartments O, P, the water being discharged from the ejector compartment 0, overflowing therefrom to the compartment P, and being returned to the ejector by a pump t. Water of condensation is withdrawn from the condenser by a pump t<1> or an ejector operated by water or exhaust or other steam, and is discharged in such a way that its momentum assists the action of the pump t. The water of condensation may also flow or be forced into the ejector and discharged thence to the tank B. When the level of the water in the compartment P falls, a float r<1> simultaneously throws a cooling- coil O<1> into action and cats the steam from a feedpump S, withdrawing water from the compartment P. The water-controlling valves may also be placed in a pipe branching from the discharge side of the pump t instead of being in direct communication with the tank B. In a modified arrangement for use with a jet condenser D, Fig. 9, the tank B is supplied by a pipe y' with water from the injection pipe E, where this is suitable for use as feed-water; in other cases, a pipe p<2> supplies water suitable for feed purposes.
