Filed: 1907-09-11
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 20,233. Bennett, F. I., and Tapley, W. Sept. 11. Producers; condensers; scrubbers.-A suction gas-plant comprises a producer, a condenser and coke scrubber, an oil scrubber, and a starting-fan with its connexions. The producer c comprises a combustion chamber supported on a metal box a and surrounded by a concentric jacket j. Water is supplied to a vaporizer i from a float-feed chamber q, and a valved overflow is provided to control the amount of water passing through. The air supply is drawn through tubes l opening near the surface of the water in the vaporizer, so that an inrush due to the engine starting splashes some water into the openings s of pipes leading to the grate. The mixture of air and steam descends through the annular space k and passes through wiregauze screens m. The fire-bars e are carried by a stand d which can be partly rotated by means of a handle f. The condenser and coke scrubber consists of an outer cylinder u and an inner cylinder v containing the coke ; a pipe z<5> connects the upper end of the outer cylinder with a three-way stick valve z<3>. The oil scrubber z<6> consists of a screen z<7> of porous material which can be lowered periodically by a spindle z<8> into machine oil at the bottom of the casing. The starting-fan z is connected directly to the gas pipe x leading to the oil scrubber, and also by a pipe z<4> to the stack valve z<3>. When starting the producer, a butterfly valve z<2> in the gas pipe x is closed, and the fan and producer are connected to the stack z<1>; in this way a suction draft is obtained.

Elastic-fluid turbines. - Rings or shoulders d, fare provided on the rotor and stator of a turbine so as to form between them annular or segmental nozzles which guide the steam to the middle parts of the blading and so avoid spilling. The turbine is divided into stages by these rings, and the expansion of the steam for each stage is completed in the nozzles formed by them. Fig. 1 shows a turbine with stages each comprising a ring b of guide-blades of the Parsons type followed by a ring of running blades of crescent shape. In another, running blades of the Parsons type precede crescent-shaped guide-blades. In a third, each stage comprises a ring of running Parsons blades, a ring of fixed crescent-shaped guideblades, and a ring of crescent-shaped running blades. In a fourth, a ring of fixed and a ring of running blades, both of crescent shape, are added to the arrangement of Fig. 1. Fig. 10 shows a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. The guide-blades b project backwards through the space between the rings so as to divide the stream of steam before it is contracted. The extension h of the guide-blades are straight, the parts b being curved as before. In another construction, the steam is guided by blades or ribs which project inwards from the stator ring and so divide the annular space into cells. These ribs are straight in the first or converging part of the restriction, in which the expansion of the steam takes place, and are curved to deflect the steam in the latter part through which the steam passes with its full velocity. In this form the outer wall of the restriction is cylindrical, but it may be divergent.
