Abstract: 903,947. Turbines. NAPIER & SON Ltd., D. June 18, 1959 [July 11, 1958], No. 22272/58. Class 110 (3). The casing of a turbine which is cooled by a flow of cooling air has means for controlling the flow of cooling air through a chamber in the casing in response to the temperature of the casing adjacent the cooling air chamber. The turbine casing 1 is double walled and formed with a series of air cooling chambers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 each with a valve assembly 8 delivering cooling air to the chamber through an inlet 10. The cooling air may be tapped from the compressor or a forwardly facing inlet in the aircraft and the exhaust from each chamber may be returned to the working fluid. Each valve 8 is actuated by a steel band 12 which extends from a pin 13 on the valve to a pin 14 fixed to the casing, thus covering the major part of two adjacent chambers. Since the casing is formed of aluminium alloy, changes of temperature will cause movement of the band relative to the casing. This will result in operation of the valve 8 to control the cooling air flow. Specification 785,466 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to dispersions containing saturated monoglycerides
IPC: A23L29/10
Filed: 1965-05-28
Abstract: Aqueous dispersions of saturated monoglycerides used as emulsifying agents for bread dough are maintained in the thermodynamically unstable a -phase (whether crystalline or amorphous) of maximum activity by the incorporation into the aqueous dispersion of lecithin in a concentration sufficient to substantially prolong the maximum activity condition without substantially affecting the activity of the saturated monoglyceride.  Preferred aqueous dispersions contain 20-40% by weight of saturated monoglycerides (iodine value of less than 5) having a fatty acid moiety of between 8 and 22 carbon atoms and made from fully hydrogenated lard with an iodine value in the range from 0.4 to 1.  Unsaturated monoglycerides when included, are present at a concentration in the range 3 to 35% by weight of the dispersion sufficient to give to the combined monoglyceride composition an iodine value between 20 and 40.  The weight ratio of saturated monoglycerides to unsaturated monoglycerides typically is 1.5 : 1 and the maximum concentration of the combined monoglyceride composition in the dispersion is 55% by weight. The weight ratio of triglyceride material, when included, to that of the unsaturated monoglycerides is typically between 0.15 : 1 and 0.5 : 1.  Lecithin and water, acidified to pH4 by acetic or other specified acid or vinegar, amount to between 0.5 and 10% and 45 and 80% by weight of dispersion, respectively.  Protein material exemplified by skim milk powder, gelatin, egg white and soy flour, specified antioxidants or metal complexing agents (e.g. glycine or phosphoric acid) and specified mould inhibitors may be included in the dispersion in amounts between 0.33-6.5%, less than 1%, and between 0.15-5% by weight, respectively.  Preferred specific gravities of the dispersions are 0.75-0.85 where no significant concentration of unsaturated monoglycerides is present and 0.7-0.8 when unsaturated monoglycerides are present. The particular specific gravity is achieved by dispersing a specified inert gas into the dispersion. The dispersion is produced by admixing the monoglyceride, heated to a temperature in the range from at least its melting point up to 60 DEG C. above the gel temperature, and the lecithin with water and cooling the resultant dispersion preferably to within the range 20-25 DEG C. When the oil phase includes both saturated and unsaturated monoglycerides and triglycerides, the heating should not raise the temperature above the gel temperature of the resulting oil phase. Protein material and mould inhibitor included in the water phase. The Examples disclose aqueous dispersions containing the following constituents: saturated distilled monoglycerides product from hydrogenated lard, unsaturated monoglycerides product from lard (optional), lard (optional), lecithin product including shortening and milk solids, glycerol solution of glycine, glycerol solution of phosphoric acid, conventional antioxidants, water, non-fat dry milk solids, sodium propionate (preservative) and glacial acetic acid.
