Abstract: 10,724. Lane, H. May 3. Ethylene. - In the catalytic synthesis of ethylene in which the hydrogen is added progressively to the acetylene or vice versa, so as to control the temperature, the constituent gases are passed through tubes containing the catalyst and immersed in a liquid of predetermined boiling point. The progressive mixing of the gases is effected by means of valves or their equivalents after each passage through the tubes. In a simple form of apparatus, the gases are passed through a tube, which is bent so as to pass backwards and forwards through a boiler. In the plant shown in Fig. 3, the tubes 1 containing the catalyst are arranged in horizontal rows connected at their ends by cross tubes 5. Hydrogen is introduced at the connexion 4 and acetylene at the pipe 6, and the mixture passes through the lowest set of tubes into the connecting tube at the rear, from which it is led back to the front of the next higher set of tubes by a pipe outside the furnace. Acetylene is added to the gas after each passage through the furnace. By dividing the catalyst between tubes of small diameter and enclosing these in a boiler, the temperature is kept under control.

Patent GB-191128507-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method of and Devices for Regulating Rotary Compressors.
IPC: F04D27/02
Filed: 1911-12-18
Granted: 1913-03-18
Abstract: 28,507. Grun, W., and Pokorny & Wittekind Maschinenbau Akt.-Ges. Dec. 18. Regulating.-The turbine or other motor driving a compressor is regulated by a centrifugal governor co-operating with a device responsive to variations of air pressure or air volume, the follow-up gear from the servo-motor being so arranged that it may shorten or lengthen automatically as required. The pressure of the air may be controlled by a volumeresponsive device, or the volume by a pressureresponsive device. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the speed governor 1 and pressureresponsive device 7 regulate the turbine valve 6 through the agency of a servo-motor 5, of which 8 is the pilot valve. The follow-up connexion between the servo-motor rod 23 and the pilot-valve lever 9 comprises a spring 26 and a piston 30 working in a dash-pot cylinder 25. In operation, if the piston 5 is moved down, the spring 26 is put under tension and, after a time, moves the piston 30 relatively to its cylinder and so lengthens the connexion. The device may be solidified in various ways. Fig. 5 shows the servo-motor 5 connected with the high and low pressure valves 49, 43 of a two-pressure steam turbine. The valve 43 remains out of operation until the pressure of the exhaust steam supplied rises sufficiently. This may be determined by the piston 40, or by a piston 53, or by a connexion with the steam accumulator. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the pressure-responsive device 7 is so loaded that, in operation, constant output is obtained. In another device, a volume-responsive device is used to give constant pressure. By a suitable arrangement of the devices, the pressurequantity curve of the compressor may be made to assume any desired form.
