Title: Improvements in or relating to water heaters
Inventor: BARNES NORMAN
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1948-06-17
Abstract: 682,312. Valves. PARNALL (YATE), Ltd. June 17, 1949 [June 17, 1948 ; Feb. 25, 1949], Nos. 16323/48 and 5231/49. Class 135. A water heater has a venturi through which the water flows to control, by a diaphragm, the heating means and a valve governing the flow through the venturi, and a thermally-responsive device controlling a by-pass round both the valve and the venturi. Water passes from the inlet 1, through the conduit 3 to the lower part of the chamber 4, past the flow control valve 6 and through the venturi 8 to the outlet 9 leading to the heat-exchanger. The pressure difference across the venturi moves the diaphragm 5 to operate the gas valve by the rod 14, and to bring the valve 6 into operative position. The heating means gives a constant heat input while the valve 6 maintains a constant flow so that a predetermined outlet water temperature is obtained. Should the outlet temperature increase, a phial and bellows thermostat 32, 27, Fig. 8, opens the valve 26 to allow inlet water to by-pass the valve 6 and venturi by flowing from the conduit 3 to the casing 10, through the valve 26 to the outlet 9 thus reducing the outlet temperature by allowing more water to flow through the heater. Should the temperature rise unduly, the by-pass is opened sufficiently to starve the venturi and thus close the gas-valve. The valve 26 is balanced hydraulically by having a spring-loaded bellows 33 opposing the thermal bellows, the outlet temperature being determined by the loading of the spring 34 adjusted by a screw 35. Specifications 630,684 and 636,258 are referred to.

Patent GB-788238-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to processes for preparing high melting point greases
Filed: 1955-06-07
Abstract: A lubricating grease is prepared by forming a mixture consisting essentially of a lubricating oil, an organic acid whose metal salts are thickening agents, sufficient of an oxide or hydroxide of a metal of Group I, II, III or IV of the Periodic Table for substantial neutralization of the organic acid, and alcohol or water as solvent for the oxide or hydroxide, heating the mixture to a temperature which is at least 25 DEG  F. below the solution temperature in the lubricating oil of the salt obtained from the organic acid and the oxide or hydroxide, and subjecting the mixture to a shearing force sufficient to produce a stable dispersion of the salt in the oil. Instead of the free organic acid, an ester thereof may be employed. Suitable lubricating oils are mineral oil, oils derived from coal, alkylene polymers, alkylene oxide polymers and their esters and ethers, esters of dicarboxylic acids (particularly dibutyl or dihexyl adipate, di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate or di-n-hexyl fumarate polymer), alkyl benzenes, organic silicates, polysiloxanes and liquid esters of phosphorus acids.  Organic acids mentioned are terphtbalic acid, iso- and terephthalamic acids and their N-alkyl derivatives, mono-alkyl esters of terephthalic acid, polyamic acids, and fatty acids such as oleic, stearic and hydroxystearic acids.  Lists of suitable N-alkyl terephthalamic acids and alkyl esters thereof, N-alkyl isophthalamic acids, and monoalkyl esters of terephthalic acid, are given.  Oxides or hydroxides of lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, barium, strontium, magnesium, zinc, cadmium, aluminium or lead may be employed.  Specified alcohols are methanol, ethanol and glycerol, while shearing may be effected in a Manton-Ryaulin or Cornell homogenizer, a colloid mill, or a high-speed gear pump.  In examples, lubricating greases are prepared by forming a mixture of mineral lubricating oil, the methyl ester of N-"octadecyl" terephthalamic acid (the "octadecyl" radicle being derived from a commercial mixture of amines comprising octadecylamine, hexadecylamine and octadecenylamine) and aqueous sodium hydroxide, barium hydroxide monohydrate or lithium hydroxide monohydrate, heating the mixture to the requisite temperature (220 DEG  or 300 DEG  F.), cooling in some cases to 130 DEG  F., and then subjecting the mixture to a shear in a Manton-Gaulin homogenizer.  In a further example, lubricating grease is prepared by forming a mixture of mineral lubricating oil, the methyl ester of N-butyl terephthalamic acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide, heating the mixture to 300 DEG  F., and then passing the mixture, first hot and then cold, through a partially opened needle valve under pressure.
