Patent GB-1033599-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to falling film type evaporators
IPC: B01D1/22
Filed: 1964-09-23
Abstract: 1,033,599. Evaporators; falling-film type. A..E.ROSENBLAD. Sept. 23,1964 [Sept. 23, 1963], No. 38830/64. Heading B1B. The heat transfer element of an evaporator of the falling-film type comprises a pleated wall made of light gauge, heat-transmissive material in the form of vertically-elongated plates arranged in a row with interspaces between them. The housing of the evaporator is divided into two compartments by partitions 122,123. On one side of the wall, the liquid to be concentrated is introduced through pipes 46 on to the opposite faces 2, 4 of the interspaces 5 between the plates so that the liquid flows down the plates in film-form, while heating medium is passed through the interspaces 9 between the plates on the opposite side of the wall. The evaporator shown is of the recompression type. The vapour evolved from the falling- films of liquid flows out of interspaces 5 into chamber 126, and rises through entrainment separator 127 into compartment 128. The vapour is then drawn through pipe 129 into compressor 130, and the compressed vapour is conducted through pipe 131 into chamber 29 as heating-medium for the interspaces 9 of the pleated wall. The condensate is discharged through pipe 124. The evaporation side of the pleated wall is divided into two compartments by partition 105. The feed liquor is sprayed on to the upper part of the plates in compartment 106, and some of the partially concentrated liquor which collects on shelf 114 overflows the lip of the shelf and is recirculated, together with fresh feed, to the upper part of the plates in compartment 106. The remainder of the partially concentrated liquor on shelf 114 flows through pipe 115 for further concentration as flowing films on the plates of compartment 107. The liquor reaching the lower part of the compartment 107 is recirculated to the upper parts of the plates and, when the liquor has been concentrated to the desired extent, the valve (not shown) for withdrawing product from the evaporator is opened. Non- condensable gases reaching interspaces 9 pass, together with some vapour, through perforated plates 135 which extend from top to bottom of each interspace 9 near the rounded end wall 3. These gases flow up chambers 136, and are withdrawn through vent pipe 138. The Specification also describes in detail a multiple effect evaporator wherein a continuous pleated heat transfer element extends throughout the length of the evaporator, but partitions are arranged so that the vaporization from the liquor is carried out in six stages at diminishing pressure.

Title: Process and apparatus for diminishing the viscosity of the cooked masses in confectionery or similar products for the drying thereof
IPC: A23G3/02
Filed: 1964-09-24
Abstract: 1,078,134. Conditioning confectionery for drying. SOCIETE FIVES LILLE CAIL. Sept. 24, 1964 [Sept. 26, 1963; Oct. 1, 1963], No. 38949/64. Heading A2E. [Also in Division F4] In order to assist the drying of cooked masses of confectionery and similar products the viscosity is diminished by forcing the cooked mass through the apertures of a perforated wall into a chamber wherein steam circulated along the back side of the wall intimately mixes with the filaments or droplets issuing out of the apertures. The apparatus includes a rotary bowl 40, whose walls are pierced by a large number of apertures 46, and a rotary centrifuging basket 41 defining an annular steam chamber 45, such that material to be treated when poured into the bowl is centrifugally expelled through the apertures into the annular chamber in the form of filaments or droplets, in which it is intimately mixed with steam admitted at 42. The liquid phase of the steam-treated cooked mass then passes through a rotary screen 47 of a drying basket 34 into a tank 32, whereas solid particles such as crystals, are expelled at the upper end and recovered in tank 33. The apparatus preferably includes provision for rotating the bowl at a different speed from that of the centrifugal and drying baskets (Fig. 4, not shown) and for the maintenance of a pressure below atmospheric whereby emulsification of the cooked mass by air is prevented. The pressure prevailing in the annular chamber should be substantially equal to the steam pressure at the temperature of the product. The admission of steam is regulated to give the desired temperature difference between the cold cooked mass delivered and the re-heated cooked mass recovered.

IPC: G11C5/05
Filed: 1958-12-04
Abstract: 898,251. Magnetic information-storage apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Dec. 18, 1959 [Dec. 4, 1958], No. 39096/58. Class 40 (9). The ferromagnetic storage elements of a memory plane are supported in a frame made up of interlocking members. As shown in Fig. 1, the frame comprises resilient rods 2, 3 which interlock with angle girders 1, 4, and is partitioned by resilient rods 8, 9, 10 which interlock with the girder 1 and a strip 11. Each rod is formed with facing grooves into which ferromagnetic plates each having two rows of discrete storage cells 13, 14 are fitted prior to the positioning of strip 11. This strip has clearance holes at each end so that it is movable along rods 2 and 3 into an interlocking relationship with the rods 8, 9 and 10. The upper part of the frame supports an insulating plate 15 which has printed-circuit wiring and carries access switch cores 16. Each resilient rod carries a number of terminals 12 and has its ends longitudinally and radially grooved and chamfered as shown in Fig. 5 so that it is push-fitted in interlocking relationship into holes in the girders 1, 4 or strip 10 as required. Each access switch core 16 is mounted on the insulating plate as shown in Fig. 7, a core being supported between two rubber washers 73, 74 which are forced over a shoulder 75 on a stud 71 passed through a hole in the plate. The core winding ends are connected to printed circuitry in the front or rear of the plate after passing through supporting holes 77, 78 or 76 respectively. The store uses two memory cells for each binary digit as described in Specification 796,488, a single looped row winding, Fig. 8, being common to all the holes of horizontlaly-adjacent ferromagnetic plates. The column windings 19. are separate and each are connected to a different access switch core which are arranged in a matrix in association with switching rows and columns. All the switch cores are normally biased by current in the rows to state " 0." When a switch core is charged to state " 1" by coincident column and row energization, a " full read pulse is applied to a selected column of storage cells. At the termination of energization, the switched core is restored more slowly to state " 0 " by the bias so that a " half write " pulse of opposite polarity passes to the selected column. Coincident application of a positive or negative " half write pulse " to a looped core winding writes " 1 " and " 0 " or " 0 " and " 1 " respectively into two adjacent storage cells.

Should a block as received at ST2 be detected as disturbed; each block including a parity bit; the last transmitted call-up is re-transmitted, to cause the repetition of transmission of the last transmitted data block. To be detected as disturbance free, a received block must have the same inversion state as the last transmitted call-up. A fault signal F generated at receipt of a disturbed block prevents onward transmission of the block as data N2. This transmission scheme is shown to be immune to the type of fault wherein a call-up transmitted from ST2 is disturbed in transmission at St, to invert its logic state. The scheme is compared with a disadvantageous known system in which the blocks are always transmitted in direct form, Fig. 1 (not shown), wherein the disturbance in the call-up at St results in either repetition of a block (B2) in the forward data (N2), or the entire omission of a block (not shown).
