PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Carburetting Coal,Gas, or other
Gaseous Fluid.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD PRICE, of Bushey View, 'Hampton Wick in the County
of Middlesex, Gas Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to apparatus for carburetting coal gas or other gaseous
fluid by charging it with vapour of suitable hydrocarbons.
For this purpose, I cause the hydrocarbon liquid to flow along a plate or table,
preferably inclined, in a zig-zag course, while the gas to be enriched is caused to
flow through a casing of which this plate forms the bottom. Under the plate
there is a jacket heated by circulation of steam or other hot fluid through it.
I place this apparatus, preferably near the gas main, its casing forming a by-pass
to the main, and I employ, if necessary, a steam injector to cause a considerable
volume of the gas to flow through the casing, in which it takes up the hydrocarbon
vapour generated by the heat of the jacket below the plate along which it flows.
The casing through which the gas flows may have a heating jacket.
Dated this 20th day of October 1894.

Improvements in Apparatus for Carburetting Coal Gas or other
Gaseous Fluid.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD PRICE of Bushey View, Hampton Wick in the County
of Middlesex, Gas Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to apparatus for carburetting coal gas or other gaseous
fluid by charging it with vapour of suitable hydrocarbons.
For this purpose I employ apparatus which I shall describe referring to the
accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section, Fig. 2 is a plan with part of the cover
removed.
I cause the hydrocarbon liquid which is supplied at O to flow along a plate or
table T, preferably inclined, in a zig-zag course, while the gas to be enriched
supplied at G is caused to flow through a casing C of which the table T forms the
bottom. Under the table T there is a jacket Jheated by circulation of steam or
other hot fluid through it, the steam entering at S and the water of condensation
escaping at W.
I place this apparatus, preferably as part of the gas main; it may however
form a by-pass to the main, in which case I employ, if necessary, a steam
injector to cause a considerable volume of the gas to flow through the casing, in
го

page_text: which it takes up the hydrocarbon vapour generated by the heat of the jacket
below the table along which it flows.
The casing C may also have a heating jacket.
Any overplus of oil flows by the pipe D into a vessel V in which the liquid forms
a seal, and from which there is an overflow P.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
Apparatus for carburetting gas constructed and operating substantially as described
with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 18th day of July 1895.
