Abstract: 20,757. Carter, S. Sept. 20. Separators.-Relates to a particular form of apparatus for separating liquid impurities from gases by wire-drawing and imparting change of direction to the gases, which is particularly applicable to the separation and removal of tar, carburetted water-gas, coal gas, producer gas,. &c., and is arranged in a gas main or in a bypass. The apparatus comprises essentially an imperforate bell or cone 5 with a depending flange 6, an external ring or hoop 7, a ring plate 8 provided with a wall 9, 10 at its inner periphery, and a second imperforate bell or cone 11, the parts 7 to 10 preferably being formed as a single casting. The gas is wiredrawn as it passes between the parts 6, 7. The gas flow is controlled by the simultaneous vertical adjustment of the bells which, for this purpose, are mounted on oppositely threaded portions of a spindle 4, the bells being prevented from rotating with the spindle. In modifications adapted to be placed in vertical mains, the flange 6 of the cone 5 is secured to the external hoop 7, or to the walls of the main, through the medium of distance-pieces, the cone 11 is supported by brackets from the cone 5, the wall portion 10 dispensed with, and the whole structure supported by an annular flange adapted to be held in a joint in the main. The plate 8 may be perforated to permit the liquid condensate to be drained off.
