Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 11,099. Browne, A. F. May 11. Gas retorts; fixing illuminating- constituents; naphthalene, preventing deposits of ; water gas.-Gases evolved from the upper parts of the charge in a retort are led down through chambers surrounded by the charge, whereby the whole of the gas is subjected to a temperature sufficiently high to gasify permanently the otherwise condensable products. Excessive dissociation of the gases is avoided and the formation of naphthalene is prevented or reduced. In the apparatus shown, the products from the surface x of the cone in the retort a pass through apertures b<1> into a trunk b, formed by partitions b<7>, and are led off through a pipe c, which passes through a stuffing-box c' and may be adjusted in height by means of a screw c<3>. The trunk b is open at the bottom, and gases from the lower part of the charge pass directly into the trunk. More than one trunk b may be provided and several eduction pipes c may be arranged in the same trunk. The nature of the gases and condensable products may be modified by altering the height of the pipe c and thereby altering the temperature of the zone through which the gases are passed. The cone is fed from hoppers e by means of worms d, and is discharged by means of a cone f, the level of the charge in the retorts being maintained constant. The retort is heated by gases which pass through a flue g and nostrils g', air being supplied through passages h. Water or steam may be introduced into the retort, the water gas passing off with the coal-gas. Condensed or condensable products such as gas, tar, and oils may be returned to the retort. The retorts may be used for gasifying, together with cone, tar, oils, and other products. According to the Provisional Specification, the gases may be passed through a heating- chamber heated independently of the material being gasified.
