Title: Method of Dis-associating and Removing Vapor from Aqueous Liquids.
Inventor: HOOFNAGLE WILLIAM THEODORE
IPC: F25D31/00
Filed: 1910-04-12
Granted: 1911-05-12
Abstract: 8793. Hoofnagle, W. S. April 12. Refrigerating, vacuum machines and processes for.-In vacuum-apparatus for ice-making and refrigerating liquids, the rarefied vapours separated in the vacuum chamber are decomposed by a diffused, non-disruptive, or other electrical field, and are recombined immediately before entry into the pump. It is stated that by this decomposition and recombination, the pump is able to handle the vapours more efficiently. In the plant illustrated, the vapours produced by the evaporation of the liquid L in the vacuum chamber A pass between a cas'ng D and a central tube C, and then through this tube. The tube and casing are formed of glass or other dielectric material, and electrodes 6, 7 of metal foil are attached to the inside of the tube C, and the outside of the casing D, respectively, and are connected to a source E of high frequency and high potential electricity. The diffused discharge between the electrodes decomposes the aqueous vapour into its constituents, which pass on and are recombined by an igniting- device F immediately before entry into the pump B. The vapours pass through the low-compression, intermediate, and high-compression pumps, b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, respectively, and are cooled in a condenser H, condensed liquid running into a well 18 through a pipe 17 of such a length that liquid cannot return to the condenser, and the pipe is arranged to be sealed by the liquid in the well so that entry of air into the condenser is impossible. The apparatus may be used for the evaporation of water, and the manufacture of ice therefrom, but in the plant illustrated the cooling-liquid, brine, is circulated through coils 21 in flat metal casings 20 immersed in water in the tank I, and plate ice is formed on the sides of the casings. A pipe 27 enables cold brine to be withdrawn for use in refrigerators, and water is added through a pipe 28 to compensate for loss by evaporation.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Change Speed Gearing.
Inventor: WESTINGHOUSE HENRY HERMAN
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1910-04-20
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 9604. Westinghouse, H. H., and Goodspeed, L. F. April 20. Variable-speed toothed gearing.-In constant-mesh variablespeed gearing with multiple-disk friction clutches, the clutches are independently and successively brought into and retained in engagement by a continuous movement of a controlling-device. The driving-shaft 2 carries a housing 6, within which are three nested multiple-disk clutches, which are brought into engagement through spring rods, such as 14, and sets of levers 15. As a sleeve 35 is moved to the left, inclined surfaces such as 36 act on the sets of levers 15 &c. in succession, and so bring the clutches successively into engagement. The first clutch connects the housing 6 to a sleeve 32, which is connected by gearing 34, 47 and a ratchet clutch 100 to a conntershaft 42. The second clutch connects the housing 6 to a sleeve 19, which is connected by gearing 23, 48 and a ratchet clutch 101 to the shaft 42. The third clutch connects the housing 6 to the driven shaft 1 directly. The effect of the successive operation of the clutches is to drive the shaft 42 at one speed, then at a higher speed, and then to drive the shaft 1 only, the clutches 100, 101 overrunning. The shaft 42 carries a fixed gear 45 in mesh with a gear 46 loose on the shaft 1, and two forward reduced speeds are imparted to the shaft 1 by sliding a double clutch 49 to the right. Two corresponding reversed drives are effected through a train of loose gears 54, 55, 56 when clutches 49, 58 are slid to the left. The clutches 49, 58 are operated by way of rods 52, 78, Fig. 7, connected by links 85, 86, an equalizing-lever 84, and other link-work to the lower end of a looselypivoted lever 73, the upper end of which carries a notch 87. The disk clutches are operated by way of a lever 40 constantly connected to a hand-lever 62. When the lever 62 is opposite notches 67 in a quadrant 66, the disk clutches alone are being operated. When the lever 62 is opposite a plain part 68 of the quadrant, the clutches 49, 58 alone can be operated, and this is done by engaging the notch 87 by a latch 69 on the lever 62.
