Filed: 1909-03-17
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 6397. Haeck, A. C. March 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Evaporators and condensers in structural combination.-Alcoholic liquids, after being subjected to a maturing and purifying process of the kind described in Specification 5790/09, are subjected to a slow cooling in a vessel L, which is surrounded by a jacket M containing water heated by a gas burner N or otherwise to the temperature of the alcoholic liquid. The vessel L is fitted with a condenser consisting of a cold-water chest O and a channelled funnel P, which conducts the condensed liquid to a receiver Q. Cold water is admitted to the condenser O from a funnel X, and passes through the pipe Y, funnel X', and jacket M to a discharge-pipe E. Tubes which pass through the vessel L may be used in place of the jacket M.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Inventor: CURTIS CHARLES GORDON
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1911-11-17
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 25,664. Curtis, C. G. Nov. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Plant; balacing moving parts; regulating. -Relates to improvements in the invention described in Specification 25,662/11, in which turbines are provided with reversed drum stages so that the resultant e n d - thrust balances the propeller thrust, and consists in the application of the invention to marine plants in which the high- and low-pressure turbine elements are arranged on different shafts, and in the provision of valves for effecting adjustment of balance. The highpressure element comprises impulse stages mounted on wheels 18, 19, 20, Fig. 1, on which the steam acts successively, after which it passes through a drum stage 28, the endthrust produced up to this point being from left to right. The steam is then led through pipes 32 to another drum stage 34 which it traverses from right to left, thereby producing a right-hand thrust. The resultant end-thrust balances the propeller thrust. The first set of nozzles 25 are provided with valves 38, and the subsequent sets of nozzles 26, 27 with slide or lift valves. By manipulating these valves, the balance can be adjusted under various conditions of working. After leaving the highpressure element, the steam passes by way of a pipe 37 to a low-pressure element arranged on a separate shaft. It first traverses a drum stage 48, Fig. 6, from left to right, and then traverses another drum stage 56 from right to left. The resultant end-thrust balances the propeller thrust on that shaft. In a modification, a fourshaft installation is described, consisting of a duplication of the arrangement described above. In a modification for a three-shaft installation, reversed drum stages are not used in the highpressure element, as the end-thrust can be wholly balanced by the propeller thrust, but the low-pressure elements on the side shafts are provided with reversed-flow stages as shown in Fig. 6. The steam, after passing through the high-pressure turbine, passes through the lowpressure turbines in parallel. Inspecting internal parts.-Manholes are provided for facilitating the inspection and repair of the diaphragm packings.

The spring 31 is held by a ratchetwheel 37 and pawl 38, which pawl is worked by a rod 43 actuated from the driver's seat. A spring 45 holds the pawl in or out of operation until it is positively actuated. A chain 20 passing around sprocketwheels 35, 15 drives the engine shaft through a pawl 16 on the sprocket-wheel 15 and a ratchetwheel 14 on the engine shaft. A plate 26 loose on the engine shaft has external ratchet teeth 28 and carries pinions 24 engaging both with a pinion 23 on the engine shaft and with an external toothed drum 22 on the wheel 15. When the wheel 15 is driving the shaft, the plate 26 and pinions 24 rotate bodily around the shaft. When the engine has been started, a stop 56 on the chain 20 engages a piece 54 on a pivoted pawl 29 and brings the pawl into engagement with the ratchet teeth 28. At the same time, the lever 29<a> raises the rod 48 and brings the pawl 38 again into engagement with the ratchet-wheel 37.
