Filed: 1932-11-18
Abstract: 410,845. Metal - heating furnaces. BIRMINGHAM ELECTRIC FURNACES, Ltd., and LOBLEY, A. G., Birlec Works, Tyburn Road, Erdington, Birmingham. Nov. 18, 1932, No. 32611. [Class 51 (ii).] A furnace installation for the heat-treatment of metals in a special gaseous atmosphere, applicable particularly to the case-hardening of steel in an atmosphere of ammonia, comprises two work-containers a, b, supported on a fixed hearth c, and a furnace unit d which is mounted on a wheeled trolley so that it may be moved horizontally to enclose either of the containers, a, b, leaving the other uncovered for cooling. The unit d is of arched form and is fitted with end doors d<2>, d3 which are raised during its travel and lowered to complete the closure when it reaches either of its working positions. The containers a, b are enclosed in bells a<3>, b<3> which depend into sealing-troughs a4, b<4> filled with powdered chrome-ore, while the pipes e', e<2> for the supply and discharge of the gaseous atmosphere, e.g. ammonia, pass through the hearth c and communicate respectively with the containers themselves and with the spaces between them and the covering bells a<3>, b<3>. The containers have apertured bases a<5>, b<5>, below which are disposed circulating fans f which ensure intimate contact of the ammonia with the charge. The supply of ammonia is regulated by valves located at a distant control station, these valves being so arranged that the direction of flow may be reversed in order that active gas may be supplied to the container being heated, while the spent or dissociated gas issuing therefrom traverses the other container in which a previously treated charge is cooling. A two-way valve is provided at g to enable the passage of gas through the cooling container to be cut off during discharging and re-charging. The pressure at which the ammonia is supplied may be regulated by varying the level of oil in " bubblejars " arranged in the supply pipes, and a device for testing the extent of dissociation of the ammonia may be provided at the control station. The furnace unit d is fitted with electric resistance heating-elements controlled by thermo-couples disposed in the containers a, b, and carries a trip device which, on movement of the unit d, operates a switch to cut-in the thermo-couple of the container to be heated and cut-out the other. The movement of the unit d may also be utilized to effect starting and stopping of motors driving the fans f.

Title: An electrical combustion indicator for internal combustion engines
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 1939-12-22
Abstract: 534,954. Electric control systems. SMITH, R. A. (Breeze Corporations Inc.). Dec. 22, 1939, No. 32742. [Class 40(i)] A combustion indicator for internal combustion engines for providing correlated indication of intake pressure and mixture ratio by a single indicating arrangement,consists of two resistances varied respectively by changes of the intake pressure and of a thermal characteristic of the exhaust, arranged in a Wheatstone bridge so as to indicate change in either or both of the resistances. A closed casing 10 is connected to the intake manifold II by a conduit 12. A partially evacuated metal bellows 13 is placed in the casing 10 and moves a contact arm 16 over a tapered resistance 15 as it is contracted and expanded by increase and decrease of pressure in the casing 10. The variable resistance 15 and a fixed resistance D, with which it is in series, form one arm of a Wheatstone bridge, the other arms of which are formed by resistances B, C and a resistance thermometer 24 in the exhaust manifold. The resistance 15 is calibrated to vary according to the square root of the intake pressure, and a null reading on the bridge galvanometer M indicates a standard value for the product of this quantity and the temperature of the exhaust gases. Departure from the null indication to one side or the other indicates too lean or too rich a mixture. Instead of the resistance thermometer 24, a resistance wire may be enclosed in a casing connected with the exhaust gases, the thermal conductivity of which varies the resistance of the wire. A similar wire in a casing with an opening to the atmosphere forms the adjacent arm of the bridge. In another modification the bellows 13 communicates with a cell in which is sealed a wire resistance. The bellows and communicating cell contain air or nitrogen at a pressure of 1 inch of mercury. The resistance of the wire in the cell under an impressed current varies inversely with the thermal' conductivity of the gas, which in turn depends on. the density of the gas. Increase of the intake pressure contracts the volume of the bellows and increases the density and therefore the thermal conductivity of the gas in the cell.
