Title: Method of and apparatus for treating hydrocarbon compounds
Filed: 1928-05-11
Abstract: 317,508. Balmer, A., (Petroleum Conversion Corporation). May 11, 1928. Hydrocarbons, cracking.-In a process for vapour phase cracking, petroleum &c. is vaporized in a vaporizer 10 preferably with the aid of steam or a neutral gas and passes to a reaction chamber 14 where it is converted by the heat from carrier gases heated in a battery of stoves 15. The cracked products are scrubbed to remove carbon &c. in a scrubber 16 by means of heavy oil &c. which is itself " topped " during the process and which is passed into a heat-exchanger 23 where it heats the carrier gases, and into a second heat exchanger 25 where it heats oil from a rectifying column 34 on its way to the evaporator 10. Further heat may be extracted from the scrubbing medium in a third exchanger 26 whence it passes to a tank 27 and thence back to the scrubber 16. The cracked products pass from the scrubber 16 to the rectifying column 34 where heavy products are condensed out by crude oil entering by a pipe 34<a>, and passing via the exchanger 25 to the evaporator 10. The cracked products then pass to a condenser 36 and an accumulator 37. Uncondensed gases pass to an absorber 40 and thence back to the heating elements 15. A holder 41<a> is provided for excess gas. In the heating element 15, a mass of refractory material is heated by fuel burnt in a combustion chamber at the base, after which the carrier gas is passed through the chamber thus heated. The elements 15 are used in rotation. If asphalt-bearing crudes or residues are used as the scrubbing media an asphalt of good quality is recovered as residue. Carbon is removed from the scrubbing medium by settling or by filtration. The arrangement described may be modified by passing the entering oil first to the exchanger 25, then to the rectifier 31 and then to the evaporator 10. Specification 207,276 is referred to.

In a piezo-electric spark generator, Figs. 2 and 3, pressure on a push-button 3 compresses a spring 10 against a striker 9 having a crosspin 11 located in bayonet slots 15 in an enclosure 1 for the piezo-element 2. The pin 11 passes through apertures 14 in the push button having cam faces 13, which as the spring 10 is compressed, rotate the pin 11 against rotational bias imparted by spring 10 until it releases from the parts 15<SP>1</SP> of slots 15 and allows the striker to impinge on the element 2. A return spring 7 is provided for the push-button. In a modification, Figs. 4 and 7, the push-button 28 surrounds the enclosure 17 for piezo-element 18 and has notches 30b in which the cross-pin 24b on the striker 19 locate. Pressure on the pushbutton against return spring 29 presses the striker 19 against a spring 21 until cam slots 22a, 22b in the enclosure rotate the cross-pin and release it from notches 30b. Fig. 8 shows a further modification in which rotation of an operating member 44 against a spring 47 moves the striker cross-pin 42 along slots 43 against a spring (41) until it is released by the ends of member 44 passing over it. On return of member 44, cam faces 51 thereon ride over the cross-pin by pressing it against the rotational bias of spring (41) into the vertical parts of slots 43. The generator may be used in a gas lighter and having a pair of piezo-elements enclosed in a synthetic resin case with limited freedom of movement so that none of the striker impact force is absorbed by the case, Figs. 12- 15 (not shown). A high voltage lead extends from the centre of the case and may be highly resistive or resistor elements may be incorporated in the case.
