Filed: 1905-11-24
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 24,309. Lean, C., [Maschinenbau Anstalt Humboldt]. Nov. 24. Drying air.-In air-drying apparatus wherein moisture is condensed from the air by refrigerating-pipes, means are provided for reducing the loss of efficiency caused by the necessary thawing of the frosted pipes. In the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2, fresh air entering the chamber 1 is directed through a valved outlet 1<b>, which is opened, and flows over the corresponding coil 2b cut off from the refrigerating-fluid, and thaws the ice previously formed on it. The cooled air then divides and passes over the remaining coils 2<a>, 2<c>, which dry it, and is finally conducted through the open valves 3<a>, 3<c> and the exit passage 4. Valves in the channel 1 direct the air through one of the outlets 1<a>, 1<b>, 1<c>. Any one of the three coils may thus be freed of rime while the apparatus is still working. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 5, air under slight pressure passes from the supply pipe 7 through the refrigerating and drying compartments 6 into the discharge pipe 8. A valve in the connecting-pipe 9<1> is closed so that fresh air may be forced under pressure through the channel 10 and the corresponding valve 11<1>, thawing the refrigerator 6<1> and finally passing with the air from the pipe 7 through the remaining chambers 6. In the apparatus shown in plan in Fig. 6, refrigerating coils 14 are arranged in a ring, and valves 17 are provided so as to allow the air to pass either from one coil to the next or into the channel 18. As shown, air rises from a lower chamber through one of the valves 16, warms the coil 14<1> which is cut off from the refrigerant, passes in succession over the remaing coils (except 14<IX>) and finally escapes into the channel 18.
