Patent GB-190703302-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Separation of Gases from their Mixtures and particularly the Separation of the Constituents of Atmospheric Air.
Filed: 1907-02-09
Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 3302. Soc. 1'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs G. Claude), and Levy, R. J. Feb. 9. Liquefying.-Relates to the separation of gases from their mixtures, particularly to the separation of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen, and consists in a modified process of the kind described in Specification No. 5649, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Non-metallic elements], in which liquid air is first rectified, the gaseous distillate is expanded to reliquefy it, with or without external work, and the reliquefied portion is finally used to complete the separation into pure nitrogen and oxygen. The process and apparatus differ from those in the above Specification in that, by the present invention, the whole or part of the gaseous distillate, mostly nitrogen, from the upper part 10, Fig. 1, of the rectification column is reliquefied, while still under pressure, by causing it to vaporize the separated liquid oxygen existing at a lower pressure in the chamber E, the nitrogen passing down the pipe M, through the coil e and pipe N, back to the pump P. Fig. 2 shows a modified form of the upper part of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1. Gaseous nitrogen passing upwards through the passage H vaporizes previously-separated liquid oxygen led from the vaporizer E through a tube L to the nest of tubes C, the liquid oxygen being cooled by gaseous nitrogen during its passage through an interchanger N. The gaseous nitrogen or oxygen produced by the apparatus may be employed for the further cooling and liquefaction of a cooled and compressed gas. Another feature comprises the use of a supplementary supply of liquid oxygen, instead of liquid air as hitherto, for compensating for leakages of heat to the system; thus in the apparatus shown, the compensating-liquid is supplied to the vaporizer.

Title: Improvements relating to the Separation of the Constituents of Gaseous Mixtures and particularly of AtmospherYic Air.
Filed: 1907-09-12
Granted: 1908-09-14
Abstract: 20,349. Soc. l'Air Liquide, (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÛs G. Claude). Nov. 22, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Distilling liquid air &c.-The constituents of gaseous mixtures, and particularly those of atmospheric air, are separated by first subjecting the cooled and c o m - pressed gas to a partial liquefaction with " backward " return," by a process such as that described in Specification No. 16,298, A.D. 1903, and then subjecting the liquefied mixture to a progressive vaporization, and allowing the vapori z e d portions to circulate in the opposite direction to and in contact with the liquid to be vaporized, the whole process being effected under the same pressure. The compressed and cooled air enters the apparatus by a pipe a, and passes upwards through the parts 1, 2, 3 of the chamber A and is thus cooled and progressively liquefied, the liquid portion flowing backwards in contact with the ascending gas. The liquid thus obtained and containing about 45 per cent of oxygen then flows down through the parts 4, 5 and is here progressively vaporized, the vaporized portions passing off in the opposite direction. The liquid oxygen collects in the part D and may be forced through a pipe E into the chamber O, where it evaporates and cools the upper portion of the chamber A. Liquid air or cold gases, such as hydrogen, may however be used in the chamber O. The vaporization which occurs in the lower portion of the chamber A is effected by means of compressed and cooled air entering the chamber C by a pipe B. The liquid rich in oxygen resulting from the partial liquefaction of this air passes by a pipe K to the part 4 of the chamber A. Specification No. 28,682, A.D. 1903, is also referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to Systems of Electrical Distribution by Alternating Current Transformers.
Inventor: PECK JOHN SEEGWICK
Filed: 1908-10-29
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 23,064. Peck, J. S. Oct. 29. Distributing; switches.-In a transformer distribution system having an auxiliary transformer arranged to be connected in series with the main transformer, means are provided whereby the existence of a short-circuit in the auxiliary transformer is indicated. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the connexions of the auxiliary transformer 7 are governed by a switch 12 carrying a contact 15 governing the circuit of an indicating-lamp 5 placed across the main transformer terminals. If the auxiliary transformer is in order, the fall of voltage across the transformer secondary 2 is not sufficient to cause the lamp 5 to glow. If, however, the auxiliary transformer winding is short-circuited, the voltage is sufficient to cause the lamp to glow, thereby indicating that the auxiliary transformer is faulty. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the lamp 5 is replaced by a fuse 22, while the usual fuse 16 is placed between the secondary windings 2, 4. The fuse 22 holds a lever 19 in engagement with a weighted lever 18 against the action of a spring 21, so that, when the fuse blows, the lever 18 closes the switch 12. A similar operation is effected in the event of the fuse 16 blowing. The fuses 16, 22 may be replaced by a single fuse passing over a pulley mounted upon the lever 19. The arrangements described above may be employed on any transformer distribution system.

In the fire-place in connexion with which the invention is describes, a hinged or sliding damper 7 may cause the smoke &c. to pass directly to the flue pipe 13, or, when it is in the position shown by the broken lines in Fig. 1, to descend in front of the water-heater, and re-ascend behind it or through a flue provided in it. The fire-back 6 may slide in grooves 8 so that, when lifted, some or all of the smoke &c. may pass beneath it and around the water-heater. This movement may be effected by a fork-ended bell-crank lever 9. A lid 4 is provided to give access to the spaces around the waterheater ; and the usual flow and return pipes to the water-heater, connectel with a radiator or other hot water system, are provided.

Abstract: 6164. Lake, H. W., [Pino, G.]. March 15. Diving-tools. - Relates to electrically-operated grippers for submarines which are capable of being adjusted about rectangular axes to act in different directions. The arm is moved about these axes, and is lengthened or shortened, and the jaws are actuated by electro - magnotic ratchet mechanisms enclosed in hermetically-sealed chambers a, b, c, d, the mechanisms being controlled from a switchboard 22 situated within the submarine. The mechanism comprises a solenoid 2 in which works a core 1, jointed to a hinged arm 3, which terminates in a pawl 5 engaging with a ratchet-wheel 4. By intermittently energizing the solenoid, a shaft 4 is rotated. A reverse motion of the shaft is obtained by duplicating the device, the ratchet - wheel being adapted to turn in the opposite direction. The gripper 1<a> is pivoted at 20 to a sleeve 16, which works in a hollow shaft 21 and is given a longitudinal movement through a screw 18, which is actuated by a worm and worm-wheel from the mechanism d. The sleeve 21 carries an extension which is connected by a link 16<a> to an extension of the gripper, so that by operating the screw 18 the gripper can be rotated about the pivot 19. The gripper can also be rotated about an axis inclined to the axis of the submarine by rotating the shaft 21 from the mechanism C. The upper arm of the gripper is lengthened and shortened by a screw device 13, 14, and the jaws 8 are opened and closed from the mechanism a by a screw 10<b> working in a guided block 10 connected by toggle levers to the jaws.
