Abstract: 1411674 Lubricating E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO 21 Feb 1973 [2 March 1972] 8500/73 Heading F2A [Also in Division F1] In a rotary closed Rankine cycle engine comprising a rotary boiler B fast with a condenser C, and a turbine T, lubrication of the engine is effected from a rotary sump 66 via a stationary Pitot tube 51, and leakage of working fluid from the working chamber along the turbine shaft 25 into the sump via a labyrinth seal 30 is restricted by providing an annular overflow chamber 63 from the sump, into which access fluid in the sump flows and is vapourized by working fluid in an adjacent circumscribing chamber 65 so that the vapour pressure in the sump is increased to that in the working chamber. The Pitot tube 52 feeds lubricant via bores 50, 55 and 53 to the bearings 26, 14 of the turbine shaft 25 and the engine housing H. As shown, a starter motor M initially rotates the housing H and then the turbine drives the housing through a fixed ratio gear train 40, 41 and 42. The turbine may additionally drive the motor M as a generator to charge a battery that powers the starter motor and lights. A stationary combustion box 21 vapourizes the working fluid. The working fluid may be a mixture of the isomers of trichlorotrifluorobenzene, and the lubricant a mixture of equal parts by weight of the power fluid and a fluorinated oil, poly-(phenyl ether) fluoro alkyl esters, finely divided graphite or finely divided molybdenum disulphide. Again, Fig. 3 (not shown), the motor M drives the housing (H<SP>1</SP>) continuously, and the turbine drives the rotor (R) of a generator (G) mounted coaxially within the condenser (C) with which its stator and windings rotate.

Abstract: 295,295. Carpmael, K.., and Carpmael, K.. S., (Representatives of Carpmael, TV.), (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges.). March 30, 1927. Amino- or imino-thiazoles are prepared by treating a primary arylamine with a sulphocyanide in the presence of a halogen, the arylamine being one in which the p-position to the amino group is either substituted by a, monovalent radicle or occupied in the formation of a ring while the o-position is free. An o-aminosulphocyano compound is probably first formed and can indeed be isolated in some cases, and this becomes converted, either in statu nascendi or after standing for some time or on warming, into the isomeric thiazole product. When the intermediate compound can be isolated, it is treated with dilute acid or heated to a temperature preferably above its melting-point to effect conversion into the thiazole. The products are useful as intermediates for the manufacture of dyestuffs and pharmaceutical compounds. According to a number of the examples, bromine is added, or chlorine passed in, to an acid mixture. of the organic starting material with alkali sulphocyanide, or chlorine is first introduced with an acid suspension of lead sulphocyanide and the organic, starting material then added; the following materials are thus converted into the corresponding amino- or imino-thiazoles whose probable formulµ are given in the Specification :- 1 : 4-dimethyl-2-amino.5-chlorobenzene, 1-methyl- 2-amino-5-chlorobenzene, p-phenetidine, monoacetyl-p-phenylenediamine, p-chloraniline. 4- chloro - 1 - naphthylamine, 2-amino-7-naphthol methylether, #-naphthylamine, and #-anthramine. The remaining examples describe the conversion of 1-sulphocyano-2-naphthylamine, 2 ; 4-disulphocyano-aniline and d 2 : 4-disulphocyano-1-naphthylamine into the corresponding thiazoles bv heat treatment in alcoholic solution with acid.
